What a totally stupid design.

I may just ditch it (really sucky because I just has it installed yesterday) the plumber knew it was an issue and the 1st glass sleeve never made it in without breaking it even with the unit laying on the ground with the cannister fully removed.

Can anyone suggest an alternate filter with top loading UV sleeve and bulb? Viqua Arros looks good, but I'm wonder what experience others have had. I really don't need the stress of all this every fall and spring.
I use a Viqua UV chamber (my whole system is Viqua). I remove the lamp an glass tube yearly to wipe it down. Easy to do & no issues since it was installed.
