Aquada 1845 Quartz Sleeve **USED**

Description

The Aquada 1845 Quartz Sleeve (Used) is a previously installed ultraviolet sleeve that has been inspected and tested for structural integrity and fitment. Designed to protect the UV lamp in compatible Aquada UV disinfection systems, this quartz sleeve transmits ultraviolet light while shielding the lamp from direct water contact.

Note: This is a used/refurbished component — not new. It is suitable for customers looking for a cost-effective replacement when new stock is unavailable or for backup purposes. All used sleeves should be carefully inspected and, if needed, cleaned before installation to ensure proper UV transmission and system performance.

Product Condition

• Condition: Used / previously installed
• Visual Status: May show signs of cosmetic wear (minor scratches, light mineral deposits).
• Functional Status: Structurally sound (no cracks or chips) — intended for reuse if cleaned and inspected.
• Testing: Visual inspection for straightness and glass integrity. Quartz clarity not guaranteed as new.

⚠ Important: Used quartz sleeves can have reduced UV transmittance due to fouling or deposits. We recommend cleaning and inspecting before installation. If clarity cannot be restored, consider replacing with a new sleeve for maximum performance.

Key Features

• OEM-Sized Replacement — Designed for Aquada 1845 series UV systems.
• Protects UV Lamp — Shields lamp from water while permitting effective UV light transmission.

Maintenance & Cleaning

1. Inspect Sleeve: Check for cracks, chips, or deep scratches — do not install if damaged.
2. Clean Gently: Use a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution (e.g., diluted vinegar or citric acid) to remove mineral scale and deposits.
3. Dry & Inspect: After cleaning, ensure the sleeve is clear and there are no hidden flaws.
4. Reinstall with New O-Rings: Always use fresh O-rings to ensure a proper seal and leak-free operation.

Why Choose a Used Sleeve?

A used quartz sleeve like the Aquada 1845 can be a budget-friendly option when waiting for new inventory or when servicing older UV systems where new parts are no longer stocked. While not guaranteed to match the clarity of a new part, many used sleeves can be restored to good working condition with proper cleaning and inspection.
