Trojan Sleeve For UVMAX-A

The Trojan Quartz Sleeve for UVMAX-A (UV602730) is a genuine replacement component that protects the UV lamp inside compatible VIQUA UVMAX systems. The quartz sleeve is a small but critical part: it shields the lamp from direct contact with the water while allowing germicidal UV light to pass through and disinfect the flow, making it indispensable to the system's continued operation.

Why the Sleeve Matters

In a UV disinfection system, the lamp sits inside a transparent quartz sleeve that keeps it dry and at its proper operating temperature while transmitting ultraviolet light into the water stream. The quartz is specially chosen for its high UV transmittance, ensuring the maximum possible germicidal dose reaches the water. Over time, however, sleeves can become fouled with mineral scale, iron deposits, or sediment, which gradually blocks UV transmission and quietly reduces disinfection performance even when the lamp is working perfectly. Sleeves can also crack or degrade with age and thermal cycling, requiring replacement to keep the system delivering its rated UV dose.

Replacing the quartz sleeve on schedule, and cleaning it periodically as part of routine maintenance, is essential to maintaining effective disinfection. Because a clouded sleeve can undermine water safety without any obvious symptoms, many owners overlook it until performance has dropped significantly. Keeping a fresh sleeve in service, and inspecting it during lamp changes, ensures the system continues to perform as designed.

• Genuine replacement quartz sleeve for UVMAX-A systems
• Protects the UV lamp while transmitting germicidal UV light
• Maintains proper lamp operating temperature
• Restores full UV transmission when an old sleeve is fouled or cracked
• Essential component for reliable UV disinfection performance
• Compact 1 lb replacement part for straightforward service

A general best practice is to inspect and clean the sleeve when you replace the lamp, and to replace the sleeve itself periodically depending on water conditions, since hard or iron-laden water fouls sleeves faster. For homeowners and technicians maintaining a UVMAX-A disinfection system, keeping the quartz sleeve in good condition is just as important as replacing the lamp itself. This genuine sleeve ensures your UV system continues to deliver the chemical-free, byproduct-free protection against waterborne microorganisms that it was designed to provide, safeguarding your household water around the clock.
