Product Information
Full details
The Oasis Clearpond Quartz Sleeve - 40W is an essential maintenance component designed for pond owners using Lotus and Oasis UV filtration systems. It serves as a protective barrier that shields the UV lamp from direct water contact while ensuring maximum UV light penetration for effective water clarification. This high-quality quartz glass sleeve is perfect for those looking to restore or maintain the performance of their pond filter, though it is specifically precision-engineered for systems utilizing 40W lamps, such as the Lotus Clear Pond 80.

FAQs
Will this fit any 40W UV unit?
No, this is specifically designed for Lotus and Oasis filtration systems. It may not fit 40W units from other manufacturers.
How often should I replace the quartz sleeve?
You should replace it if it becomes cracked, permanently clouded by limescale, or if it shows signs of deep scratching that cannot be cleaned.
Can I touch the quartz glass with my bare hands?
It is recommended to use clean gloves or a soft cloth, as skin oils can cause hot spots and reduce the efficiency of the UV transmission.
Does this package include the UV bulb?
No, the quartz sleeve is sold as a standalone replacement part. The UV lamp is purchased separately.
What happens if the sleeve is not installed correctly?
Incorrect installation usually results in water leaking into the electrical compartment, which will damage the UV bulb and potentially trip your RCD or fuse.
Troubleshooting
UV light appears dim or ineffective after replacement
Check if the sleeve was installed properly and ensure the glass is completely clean of any fingerprints or oily residue.
Water leaking inside the UV housing
Check the condition of the rubber O-rings; if they are perished or cracked, they will need replacing to ensure a watertight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your UV filter is switched off and disconnected from the power supply. Allow the unit to cool completely before opening the housing. Carefully slide the old sleeve out, clean the surrounding O-ring seals, and gently insert the new Oasis Clearpond Quartz Sleeve. It is vital to ensure the sleeve is seated correctly and the O-rings are lubricated if necessary to create a watertight seal.
Compatibility: This model is specifically compatible with Oasis and Lotus units utilizing a 40W UV lamp, including the Lotus Clear Pond 80.
Care Instructions: Inspect the sleeve for limescale buildup every time you change your UV bulb. Clean it gently with a soft cloth and a mild vinegar solution if mineral deposits are visible, being careful not to scratch the surface.
