Only when the anti-vibration cup is no longer elastic. That is to say, when the spring effect disappears, when a play appears at the bottom of the reactor or when a leak/humidity is visible at the seal. On reactors that are 10+ years old, control is a priority.
How do you know if it is damaged?
- Damaged/cracked quartz sheath with no other apparent cause
- When inserted, the sheath is no longer flush with a few mm → spring effect is absent
- No “spring feeling” or play at the bottom of the reactor
- Leak / moisture at the duct seal
Old reactors (10 years and +): frequent wear and tear, inspection recommended.
What to do?
- Replace the cup at the first signs of wear
- Choose the original BioUV part (compatibility, waterproofing, durability)
Replacement of the anti-vibration cup
Before any intervention, remember that :
- The device must be disconnected from the electrical network before any intervention.
- Any intervention on the electrical part of the device must be carried out by a qualified and authorized person.
- The light produced by a UV bulb must be carefully protected from direct or indirect prying eyes.
What is the procedure for replacing the cup?
Materials needed:
After stopping and securing your installation, you just have to:
- Open the bypass and close the reactor feeds
- Remove the hydraulic fittings
- Purge your reactor
- Remove the bottom connection
- Remove the cable plug to release the lamp cable.
- Remove the reactor hood
- Unplug the ballast connector.
- Remove the lamp and then the sleeve.
- Opposite the sleeve, at the bottom of the reactor, you have a small receptacle, in which the cup (the cups if you have several lamps) must be installed
- After installation, repeat the steps in the opposite order

Germicidal UV bulbs disinfect water effectively. This compact solution offers protection against leaks, temperature fluctuations, fouling and breakage. A UV disinfection reactor with good UV quartz sheaths prevents environmental risks over time.
