Product Information
Full details
The Evolution Aqua EVO UV Quartz Sleeve is an essential maintenance component designed specifically for owners of Evolution Aqua evo15 and evo25 UVC units. It serves as the critical barrier that protects your UV bulb from direct contact with water while ensuring maximum light penetration for effective pond sterilization. While this genuine part offers a perfect seal and high-quality construction, users must exercise extreme care during installation, as the glass is fragile and susceptible to breakage if mishandled.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this quartz sleeve compatible with my evo55 model?
No, this specific sleeve is designed only for the evo15 and evo25 models.
How often should I replace the quartz sleeve?
The sleeve should be replaced if it becomes scratched, cloudy, or if mineral buildup can no longer be removed, as these factors block UV light transmission.
Can I touch the glass with my bare hands?
It is best to wear clean gloves or use a soft cloth, as skin oils can leave residues that may affect light transmission and heat dissipation.
Does this package include new O-rings?
Please check your package contents. It is recommended to use new O-rings when installing a new sleeve to ensure a proper water-tight seal.
Why is my UV light still not clearing the water?
Ensure the bulb is also fresh (replaced every 6-12 months) and check that the quartz sleeve is free of internal fogging or exterior scaling.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the UVC unit after sleeve replacement
Check that the O-ring is seated correctly and is not pinched or damaged. Ensure the end nut is tightened firmly but not overtightened.
UV light appears dim or ineffective
Check the exterior of the quartz sleeve for mineral scaling or debris; clean if necessary using a non-abrasive method.
Sleeve cracked during installation
Ensure the sleeve is properly centered in the housing before tightening the end cap. Do not apply excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This sleeve is strictly designed for the Evolution Aqua evo15 and evo25 UVC models. Do not attempt to use it with other brands or different series within the Evolution Aqua range.
Installation:
- Switch off the power to the UVC unit and disconnect it from the pump.
- Drain the water from the UVC housing.
- Carefully remove the existing quartz sleeve.
- Gently slide the new sleeve into the housing, ensuring the O-ring seals are properly positioned to prevent leaks.
Maintenance:
Periodically inspect the sleeve for mineral buildup. You can clean the exterior with a soft cloth and a mild vinegar solution if scale appears. Always handle the glass with clean, dry hands to avoid leaving fingerprints, which can absorb UV energy and potentially lead to localized overheating.
