Description
Overview
This replacement glass sleeve is designed to suit Viqua S8Q-PA UV systems and other compatible models. The sleeve sits inside the UV chamber and protects the lamp from direct contact with water while allowing UV light to pass through properly. If your existing sleeve is cracked, cloudy, or scaled up, replacing it is essential to keep your UV system working as intended.
Over time, mineral buildup and heat stress can reduce UV transmission, even if the lamp itself is still fine. A clean, clear sleeve ensures the UV light reaches the water without interference, helping maintain proper disinfection performance.

When Should You Replace the Glass Sleeve
Glass sleeves should be inspected whenever the UV lamp is replaced. If the sleeve shows signs of cloudiness, mineral scale, staining, or cracking, it should be replaced. Even light buildup can reduce UV effectiveness, especially in hard water or bore water systems.
Installation Notes
-
Isolate water and power before opening the UV chamber
-
Remove the old sleeve carefully to avoid breakage
-
Clean the chamber seals before fitting the new sleeve
-
Handle the sleeve with clean gloves or a cloth to avoid fingerprints
-
Check O-rings and replace if worn
If the sleeve does not seat correctly, stop and recheck alignment rather than forcing it.
FAQs
Does this glass sleeve include O-rings?
No. This product is the glass sleeve only. O-rings are sold separately if required.
Can I reuse my old sleeve if it looks mostly clear?
It is not recommended. Even light scaling can reduce UV performance. If the system is already open, replacing the sleeve avoids repeat labour later.
Is this an original Viqua part?
This is a compatible replacement designed to match the size and fit of the Viqua QS-810 sleeve.
Will this fit other Viqua models?
It suits S8Q-PA and SSM-37 systems. Other models use different sleeve lengths.
Do I need tools to install it?
Basic hand tools are usually enough. Take care during removal and refitting, as quartz glass can break if handled roughly.
