Why Do I Need Water Treatment? The VistaBrite is a highly specialized filtration system that reduces the contaminants found in water that can negatively impact the finish of instruments processed in instrument washers. High TDS (total dissolved solids), high levels of chlorides and elevated hardness can leave spots and damage expensive instruments. Elevated chlorides in water (usually 50 mg/l or more) at high temperatures are particularly damaging causing moderate-to-severe corrosion that actually pits instrument surfaces leaving orange, red and/or brown spots and greatly shortens their useful life. Reduction of these contaminants also greatly reduces spotting and the maintenance required to keep the internal surfaces and working parts of instrument washers clean. How It Works Water enters the system and is first filtered by the PreFilter to remove small sediment and water treatment chemicals like chlorine. The water then moves through the Hyperfiltration membrane where the TDS is reduced by as much as 95%. The level of contaminant reduction is totally dependent upon the 1) input water pressure, 2) contamination level and
3) input water temperature. Higher input water pressure results in higher output water quality and pressure. The water made by VistaBrite can then be used for all cycles. Installation The VistaBrite has been designed to fit in the base cabinet of most sterilization centers. The system is board-mounted and can hang on the inside of a cabinet wall. Alternatively, it can be mounted on drawer slides so the system can be pulled out for service and filter changes. The slides and additional mounting boards should be obtained through your local dealer. The treated water storage tank can stand upright or can be placed on its side using the plastic tank support included with each system. The VistaBrite can also be placed in an equipment room or other remote location as needed. The line running from the storage tank to the instrument washer can be up to 50 feet. However, will cause a slight reduction in water pressure and flow. Additional tubing can be purchased. See your dealer for a good quality LLDPE or similar 3 / 8 ” O.D. tubing.
