Viqua quartz sleeve replacement 13-inch open-ended for VH200 S1Q-PA models — includes 2 O-rings, high-transmittance quartz

The VIQUA QS-001 is a genuine 13-inch open-ended quartz sleeve replacement, supplied with two O-rings, engineered to protect the UV lamp and preserve performance in VH200, VH200-V, S1Q-PA, and SSM-14 Sterilight systems.

When a UV system’s quartz sleeve becomes fouled, chipped, or cloudy it reduces UV light transmission and system reliability. The QS-001 restores the original optical path and physical protection for the lamp—helping the unit operate as intended. This OEM replacement sleeve is precision-made from high-transmittance quartz and includes two O-rings for a tight, leak-resistant seal during routine maintenance.

How does the QS-001 restore my UV system’s effectiveness?

Old or damaged sleeves scatter or block ultraviolet light, lowering the lamp’s effective output. Replacing the sleeve returns the proper clear barrier between lamp and water, which helps recover the original UV exposure and system performance.

• High-purity quartz ensures maximum UV transmittance.
• Open-ended 13" fit matches specified VIQUA models for correct alignment.
• Included O-rings provide a secure, water-tight seal.

Is installation difficult and what parts are included?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with routine UV maintenance. The QS-001 ships with two O-rings so you receive the sleeve and essential seals required to reassemble the lamp chamber without sourcing extra parts.

• Comes with two replacement O-rings for immediate installation.
• Open-ended design fits easily over the lamp during reassembly.
• No special adhesives or tools beyond standard system maintenance tools needed.

When should I replace or clean the quartz sleeve?

Regular inspection and cleaning will extend sleeve life, but replacement is recommended when buildup, scratches, or cloudiness persist after cleaning. VIQUA recommends cleaning as part of routine maintenance and replacing the sleeve approximately every 24 months for consistent operation.

• Inspect sleeve at every lamp change or annual service.
• Clean mineral or organic deposits with manufacturer-recommended methods.
• Replace if deep scratches, chips, or irreversible clouding are visible.

Will this sleeve fit my VIQUA model and keep it leak-free?

The QS-001 is designed specifically for VH200, VH200-V, S1Q-PA and SSM-14 Sterilight models and restores the original fit and sealing geometry. The included O-rings ensure a snug connection between sleeve and chamber ends when installed correctly.

• 13-inch open-ended sleeve matches listed VIQUA models’ specs.
• Two OEM-grade O-rings replace worn seals to prevent leaks.
• Manufacturer-compatible dimensions avoid modification or adapters.

Who is this for: The VIQUA QS-001 is intended for homeowners, installers, and service technicians who maintain VIQUA VH200, VH200-V, S1Q-PA, or SSM-14 UV systems and need a reliable OEM-quality quartz sleeve replacement. Choose this sleeve if you want to restore optical clarity, protect the UV lamp from water contact, and keep your system operating to manufacturer guidelines. Replace the sleeve during scheduled maintenance or sooner if cleaning does not remove buildup, and use the included O-rings to ensure a proper seal.
