Product Information
Full details
The Evolution Aqua EVO UV Quartz Sleeve is designed for pond owners who use the Evolution Aqua evo30 UVC system to maintain crystal-clear water. This high-quality replacement part serves as a vital protective barrier between the electrical components and the pond water while allowing maximum UV light penetration. While it is engineered for high durability, users should handle the glass with extreme care during installation, as it is fragile and susceptible to oil smudges that can decrease its effectiveness.

FAQs
Is this compatible with other UVC brands?
No, this quartz sleeve is engineered specifically for the Evolution Aqua evo30 UVC unit.
How often should I replace the quartz sleeve?
The sleeve should be replaced if it becomes scratched, cracked, or if mineral deposits can no longer be removed.
Does this include the O-rings?
This product is the quartz sleeve; ensure your existing O-rings are in good condition before installation, or replace them separately.
Can I touch the sleeve with my bare hands?
It is recommended to handle it with gloves or a clean cloth to prevent skin oils from etching the glass.
What should I use to clean mineral deposits?
A mild vinegar solution or a dedicated household descaler is effective at removing limescale from the glass surface.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage at the sleeve housing
Check the O-rings for debris or damage; ensure the sleeve is seated correctly and the retaining nut is tightened evenly.
Reduced UV effectiveness (Green water)
Remove the sleeve and inspect for white mineral buildup; clean with a gentle descaling solution or vinegar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This sleeve is strictly compatible with the Evolution Aqua evo30 UVC unit. It is not intended for other models.
Installation Steps:
- Ensure the UVC unit is unplugged and fully depressurized.
- Carefully unscrew the end cap to reveal the existing sleeve.
- Gently slide out the old sleeve and inspect the O-rings for wear.
- Slide in the new quartz sleeve, ensuring it is properly seated against the O-rings.
- Tighten the retaining nut firmly by hand—do not overtighten, as this can crack the glass.
Care Instructions: Always handle the new sleeve by its ends to avoid transferring oils from your skin onto the glass surface. If the glass becomes smudged, clean it with an alcohol wipe before final assembly.
