Hello everyone,
Hoping someone here will be knowledgeable and able to help me with my Delta UV system. I have the ES-80 model, to be specific. The quartz tube that sits in the unit is cracked and the whole unit is leaking. I bought a replacement quartz tube, UV light, and seals (O-ring, compression seal, rubber boot), but I can't get the old quartz tube out! For some reason, it is wedged in tight. I have tried putting my finger in and pulling out hard with no success. I've tried needle nose pliers and they just break off small chunks of glass from the tube, but it doesn't budge at all. It is really wedged in there good and I can't really see any way to get it out. I was hoping someone on this forum may have an idea for how to get this out so I can replace it and get the UV system up and running again.
Here is a link to the schematic of the unit:
It is item #2 that is broken and wedged inside. The cost to replace the entire thing is $700! So, I'm hoping to try to avoid that.
Would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
