UV sterilizer quartz sleeve

[melissaleebeck]

Hi there- I just got a 25 watt pentair uv sterilizer and I've got the plumbing ready but now I need to install the quartz sleeve. I think I've done it right but does anybody have any pictures of when they set theirs up? I'm just wondering if I have the blue gasket in the right position, really.

Guessing what you need is on page 7

Yeah, it is- I guess I'm just wondering how far to the end it's supposed to be. I have it towards the end so that when the quartz sleeve slides in to the module the white retaining nut closes it in.

Look at step 4 on page 7. It should be pushed in as far as it will go.

Looks like when you tighten 2 it will compress that and the gasket between 2 and 5. I'd put the tube into 5, slide the ring and gasket up to 5, then slide 2 up and tighten. 2 will seat the gasket and therefore the ring where they need to be when tight.
