Check regularly that your UV bulb is operational by looking at the UV indicator located on 
top of the EF 

filter head next to the UV switch.

 

NEVER 

look directly at the UV light.

 

When replacing your UV bulb, use this time to clean your quartz 
sleeve and carefully examine for any damage or cracks. Take care 
when handling the quartz sleeve and UV bulb to avoid any damage 
to the glass.

 

Please note: 

the UV bulb should be replaced every 6 months even if 

the bulb is still working. Doing this will ensure the UV operates 
effectively at all times.

 

1. 

Turn the UV quartz until you can see the UV quartz clips line up with 

the gaps, pull the quartz away from the EF 

filter head.

 

2. 

Remove UV bulb and replace.

 

3. 

Re-insert the UV quartz and turn to lock in place.
