It is the sleeve only, so the lamp is ordered separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the sleeve does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ultraviolet lamp cannot sit in the water, so it lives inside a quartz tube. Quartz is used because it passes ultraviolet light where ordinary glass absorbs it. Everything the system does to the water happens through this sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy they get replaced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale, oils and film build up on the outside of the quartz. In the early stages a careful clean brings it back. Past that the surface stays hazy and the ultraviolet output is absorbed before it reaches the flow, so the system draws power and sanitizes nothing. A cracked sleeve is an immediate replacement, since it lets water reach the lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandle the quartz with clean hands or through a cloth. Skin oils bake onto the surface under the lamp and shade it from day one. Support the sleeve at both ends as it goes in, seat the o-rings without forcing anything, and give the outside a wipe before the lamp goes back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solaxx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633763856596,"sku":"SOX-451-1072","price":145.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_b0265476-8226-438d-84f8-c15112f2d62b.jpg?v=1788814687","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/solaxx-nuvo-quartz-sleeve-gnr00014","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
