Easy Pro 36 Watt REPLACEMENT Sleeve for PS1UV
Replacement Quartz Sleeve for PS1UV Clarifier
Keep your EasyPro PS1UV 36-watt UV clarifier operating at peak performance with this genuine replacement quartz sleeve. Designed specifically for the PS1UV upgrade installed in PS1FB and PSA5000 Axiom skimmers, this high-quality quartz sleeve ensures optimal UV transmission and protects your UV bulb from direct water contact.
Over time, quartz sleeves can develop mineral deposits, scratches, or cloudiness that reduce UV effectiveness. Regular replacement maintains maximum UV-C transmission, ensuring your clarifier continues to eliminate green water algae and control waterborne pathogens effectively.
Essential for UV Performance
The quartz sleeve serves as a protective barrier between the UV bulb and pond water, allowing UV-C light to pass through while keeping the bulb dry and at optimal operating temperature. When the sleeve becomes clouded or scratched, UV transmission is reduced, diminishing clarification effectiveness even with a new bulb.
This genuine EasyPro replacement sleeve is engineered to exact specifications for perfect fit and optimal water flow around the sleeve for effective clarification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this compatible with my PS1UV clarifier?
Yes, this replacement sleeve is designed specifically for the EasyPro PS1UV 36-watt UV clarifier installed in PS1FB and PSA5000 Axiom skimmers with filter brush racks.
How often should I replace the quartz sleeve?
Replace when you notice cloudiness, mineral buildup that won't clean off, cracks, scratches, or reduced clarity despite a new bulb. Typically every 2-3 years or as needed.
Can I clean the sleeve instead of replacing it?
Yes, regular cleaning with white vinegar or quartz cleaner removes mineral deposits and extends sleeve life. However, if permanently clouded, scratched, or cracked, replacement is necessary.
Will a cloudy sleeve affect UV performance?
Yes, cloudiness, mineral deposits, and scratches reduce UV-C transmission, diminishing clarification effectiveness even with a new bulb.
Does this come with a UV bulb?
No, this is the quartz sleeve only. UV bulbs are sold separately and should be replaced annually for optimal performance.
How do I install the replacement sleeve?
Turn off and unplug the UV unit, remove it from the skimmer, carefully remove the old sleeve, install the new sleeve with proper O-rings, and reassemble. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Should I replace the sleeve when I replace the bulb?
Inspect the sleeve when replacing the bulb. If it's clear and undamaged, it can continue to be used. If it shows cloudiness, deposits, or wear, replace it along with the bulb for maximum effectiveness.
