Viqua Sterilight QS-463 UV Quartz Sleeve

Description

The Viqua Sterilight QS-463 UV Quartz Sleeve is a precision replacement component engineered to protect the UV lamp in your Viqua (formerly Sterilight) UV water disinfection system while allowing maximum UV-C light transmission for effective water treatment. Manufactured from high-purity fused quartz, this sleeve provides excellent clarity and durability—ensuring your system maintains optimal microbial inactivation performance.

Quartz sleeves are essential for proper UV system operation: they isolate the lamp from direct water contact and preserve the strength of the ultraviolet output. Over time, mineral deposits, staining, or surface damage can reduce UV transmission, making periodic cleaning and replacement crucial for sustained disinfection efficiency.
