The surface of the quartz sleeve covering the UV lamp is clogged with dirt during operation. The dirt reduces the doses of UV radiation. To ensure maximum dosage, the sleeve surface must be cleaned regularly. Cleaning frequency depends on the water quality.

The surface of the quartz sleeve can be cleaned manually – first remove the quartz sleeve of the UV reactor, then clean the surface easily with a cloth. This model has no wiper – neither manual nor automatic – and is suitable for private pools. The UV reactor can be equipped with a wiper. There are two types of wipers. Manual, when the wiper is operated manually, or automatic, driven by a fully automatic electric motor. The cleaning frequency can be easily changed depending on the water quality. We recommend using an automatic wiper for public swimming pools and spa, drinking and wastewater treatment plants, where this system guarantees the most efficient use of the generated UV radiation.

Fused quartz wiper is an essential part of UVM, especially in the public sphere, where there is a great emphasis on efficiency, consumption and treated water quality. The automatic wiper achieves the best results with its regularity of fused quartz wiping.

Automatic wiper significantly saves operating costs

It is necessary to clean the surface of the quartz sleeves periodically
to prevent energy losses and water treatment reduction.

Regular wiping of dirt ensures 100% use of UV radiation in water treatment. It is necessary for public swimming pools and whirlpools (UV radiation cleans the pool water).

The dirt layer gradually absorbs UV radiation. The water is no longer treated. Due to high temperatures, impurities are deposited on the lamp’s protective glass. The pollution cycle is milder in private pools and whirlpools.

It is necessary to clean the surface manually (for systems without a wiper, you must remove the quartz sleeve and clean its surface manually with a piece of cloth).
