      Changing bulb in Jebao 75w UV

      I am going to change the bulb in my Jebao 75w UV. I don't know if any directions came with it but I don't have them. Does the quartz sleeve just pull out of the end piece on the right side? Should I twist? wiggle? Does anything else need to be done? I know many have broken the quartz sleeve trying to do this, so I just want to be careful.

      Haven't run one for years but mine separated with gentle twist and pull motions. Easy to break. Make sure on reassembly electrical connectors and water tight connections get a good silicone grease.

      Thanks Batman, I was trying what you said and I felt a very slight movement back at the palm of my right hand. It turns out that the quartz sleeve doesn't have to disconnect from the plastic end. The end separates and the bulb pulls out with the very end part. Very easy as long as you know which parts are supposed to separate. I had a little dumb luck on my side this time.

      Good to see it came apart. Mine the sleeve is held in with a compression fitting and O ring.

      One tip might be to put a pillow or cushion underneath the sleeve when you are working on it. Just looking at that granite countertop gets me nervous !!!!!!! One tiny slip or bump, and you are looking at a cracked sleeve or bulb.
