7. Cleaning quartz tube: Clean the quartz tube by wiping, until clear, using a paper towel or a dry cotton cloth. If needed, a household tub and shower lime removal product can be used.

!

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the quartz tube surface.

8. Rinse the quartz tube with clean water to completely remove any cleaning products that were used in step 7.

9. Replacing quartz tube: You will notice that the new quartz tube does not have a black cushion on the domed end as the old quartz tube does. This is normal as the cushion was provided with the original quartz tube to protect it from breakage during transportation.

Place the new quartz tube (2) into the water chamber (1) with the domed end first making sure it is inserted and seated inside the quartz end holder. Only a small portion will be exposed when it is seated correctly.

Turn breaker back ON. Turn on the pump to circulate the water through the CLEAR RAY System. Wait for 5 minutes and assure no water is dripping. If water is visible, STOP, fix the leak by repeating quartz tube maintenance process from step 1 through step 13. Make sure there is no water visible. Turn the pump and breaker OFF
