Why UV System Maintenance Matters

Skipping maintenance doesn’t just mean a less effective system; it means a higher risk of contaminated water reaching your tap. Routine care keeps disinfection efficiency where it should be and prevents buildup on the quartz sleeve that blocks UV light. It also reduces the risk of contamination from a worn bulb or electrical failure, and it extends the life of the system and its components.

Signs your UV system needs attention:

Routine Maintenance Checklist

Check the sediment pre-filter for clogs if one's installed, inspect the UV unit for leaks or unusual sounds, and confirm the system has power by checking any indicator lights or alarms.

We recommend replacing the quartz sleeve and UV bulb once a year. Even if the bulb still glows, UV output fades over time, and a clear sleeve is essential for the system to work properly. During your annual visit, we'll also inspect the O-rings and replace them if they're worn or cracked.
