The Aqua Best UV-12GPM-Q Quartz Cover is an essential replacement component designed to maximize the performance of UV water sterilization systems with a 12 gallons per minute (GPM) capacity. Manufactured from premium high-transmission quartz glass, it allows the full spectrum of UV-C light (254 nm) to penetrate efficiently, ensuring the complete neutralization of harmful microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, cysts, and protozoa.
This quartz cover acts as a protective barrier between the UV lamp and the water, safeguarding the lamp against direct contact, sediment buildup, and scaling, while maintaining consistent UV performance. By ensuring that maximum germicidal radiation passes through, the UV-12GPM-Q Quartz Sleeve enhances water purification efficiency and extends the lifespan of the UV lamp.
Why the Quartz Sleeve Matters
A UV lamp alone cannot deliver full disinfection unless paired with a quartz sleeve. Ordinary glass blocks most UV-C rays, but high-purity quartz provides over 90–95% UV transmittance, ensuring optimal sterilization.
The UV-12GPM-Q Quartz Cover plays a dual role:
- Performance Optimization – Maintains the correct UV wavelength penetration needed to kill pathogens effectively.
- Lamp Protection – Shields the delicate UV lamp from moisture, corrosion, and physical impact, thereby preventing premature failure.
