Quartz Glass Sleeve QG008 – VSC 280 × 44 mm (18W Amalgam)
Replacement Quartz Glass QG008 – 280 × 44 mm for 18W amalgam UV-C Lamps
The QG008 is a high-purity quartz glass sleeve designed to protect UV-C lamps in pool, pond and water treatment systems. Quartz glass transmits UV-C radiation (254 nm) with minimal absorption, keeping the lamp’s germicidal output at maximum effectiveness while isolating it from direct water contact.
When to Replace
Quartz glass should be replaced whenever it is cracked, visibly cloudy or shows mineral scaling that cannot be removed by cleaning. A degraded quartz sleeve can block up to 50% of UV-C output, dramatically reducing water disinfection performance. The 44 mm diameter is the larger form factor used in compact high-intensity VSC units.
Compatible Systems
The QG008 (280 × 44 mm) is sized to fit Blue Lagoon VSC compact UV-C units rated at 18W amalgam. Always check the sleeve dimensions and end-cap type against your unit’s specifications before ordering.
