REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN QUARTZ SLEEVE
Figure 5 - Chamber Head Removal
1. Follow the steps in “Quartz Sleeve Cleaning or Replacement” to remove lamp and quartz sleeve.
CAUTION: Considerable force maybe required to pull purifier from the mounting clips.
Exercise extreme care when removing purifier.
2. Remove the water purifier from the mounting clips. Grasp the purifier chamber, and firmly pull each end free of the
mounting clips.
3. Carefully remove as much of the broken quartz sleeve as possible, from each end of the chamber.
4. Remove chamber head clamp, by using a 7/16" wrench to loosen and remove the 1/4" nut from the head clamp.
5. Remove chamber head from the chamber.
6. Any broken pieces of the quartz sleeve can now be removed through the open end of the purifier chamber. Flush
water through chamber being careful to remove all quartz fragments from the interior of the chamber.
7. Carefully discard all pieces of the broken quartz sleeve.
8. Inspect the large O-ring used to seal the chamber and the chamber head. Make sure the O-ring is seated properly
between the chamber head ring and the flare of the chamber head.
9. To reinstall the chamber head, push chamber head flange into the chamber until both flared ends, of the chamber and
the head, mate against the O-ring.
10. Replace the head clamp around the flared ends of the head and chamber. Install the 1/4" nut and tighten, using a
7/16" wrench, until approximately 7/8" to 1" of the bolt protrudes past the nut.
11. Carefully insert quartz sleeve into chamber. NOTE
: It is advisable to support the quartz sleeve with your finger to
guide it through the opening in the threaded gland fitting. Center the quartz sleeve in the chamber, making sure the
quartz sleeve protrudes an equal distance past each threaded gland fitting.
12. Reinstall O-rings, Teflon
®
washers, and static gland nuts. Be sure O-rings are placed on quartz sleeve before Teflon
®
washer. Tighten static gland nuts firmly by hand only, DO NOT
USE HAND TOOLS. Tightening with hand tools is
likely to cause quartz sleeve to break.
13. Remount the water purifier to mounting clips, by firmly, but carefully, pushing the purifier into the mounting clips.
14. When all connections are complete, slowly restore water supply to water purifier and check for leaks.
15. If no leaks occur, reinstall lamp by following the steps in "Lamp Installation or Replacement" section.

purifier until lamp and both easy-off end caps have been properly reinstalled.
