There are two UV Lamps in each DEL AOP 50 (previously named Solar Eclipse). When the Quartz Tube (aka Quartz Sleeve) which house the UV Lamps becomes dirty, the ability to transmit UV rays from the Lamp are diminished. Every 6 months, clean both UV Lamps' Quartz Tubes. Download instructions below in our RESOURCE CENTER.
Occasionally, a Quartz Tube gets broken and needs to be replaced. This is not common, so we do not encourage you to stock up on Quartz Tubes.
There are two different styles of Quartz Tubes for the DEL Ozone Solar Eclipse. One fits the first series of Solar Eclipses; these have one closed end (like a test tube). The other Quartz Tube fits current models and are open on both ends (like a paper towel roll/tube):
Replace the UV Lamps every 18 months. Download instructions below.

The tube isn't the issue, it's the lack of instruction provided in the Del Ozone manual that creates uncertainty regarding installation into the UV chamber. Case in point, I've cracked 2 quartz tubes while attempting to set the washers into the bottom clamp.
Thank you for this valuable feedback! I have provided DEL with this helpful information. Again, thank you. Jen, Proud Owner
