The Quantum Series UV system is made up of several components that work together as part of the UV treatment process. Understanding these parts can help with installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Before installation, inspect all components for shipping damage. Do not proceed with installation if any part is cracked, broken, or damaged.
Core UV Components
The primary UV components are located within and around the UV chamber.
The main UV components include:
- UV chamber: Holds the water as it passes through the UV treatment area
- UV lamp: Produces the UV-C light used during operation
- Quartz sleeve: Protects the UV lamp from water while allowing UV light to pass through
- Ballast: Supplies power to the UV lamp
- Mounting brackets: Secure the UV chamber in place during installation
- Installation hardware: Used to support proper setup and mounting
The UV lamp and quartz sleeve are fragile glass components. Leave them in their packaging until they are ready to be installed, and avoid touching the glass with bare hands.
Model Connection Details
Connection sizes may vary by Quantum Series model.
- The AS-UV8S and AS-UV12S models use 3/4-inch male NPT connections.
- The AS-UV18HO model uses 3/4-inch female NPT and 1-inch male NPT connections.
Always confirm the model before selecting fittings or planning the plumbing layout.
Quantum UV Filtration and Monitoring Components
Some Quantum Series configurations may include additional filtration or monitoring components to support system performance.
These components may include:
- System head with integrated UV chamber
- Pressure gauges
- Filter housings
- Pleated sediment filter
- Triple purpose filter with anti-rust media
Pre-filtration helps keep water clear before it enters the UV chamber. Clear water is important because UV light must be able to pass through the water effectively during operation.
Quantum Series Accessories
Included accessories may vary by model and system configuration.
Common included items may include:
- UV 254nm wavelength lamp
- UV quartz sleeve
- Filter housing wrench
- Mounting brackets
- Installation hardware
Confirm all parts are present and undamaged before beginning installation. This helps prevent delays and supports a safer setup process.
