Revolutionize your waterline maintenance Daily waterline maintenance becomes a simple, annual routine*
Benefits for both independent water bottle systems & municipal systems plumbed to city water:
NO routine shocking NO distilled water required NO harsh chemicals NO silver NO special disposal requirements NO allergenic iodine proteins 7
NO concerns with dental materials and bonding 12 NO concerns with dental unit corrosion or etching 13 An effective method of treating municipally plumbed dental units when no other cost-effective treatment is available
Using tablets? Using tablets for waterline compliance may come at a cost to your practice.
Using any of the following alone in a self-contained water system to control bacteria?
The disadvantages of tablet use add up:
Tap Distilled Sterile Commercially Bottled
Reverse Osmosis Individual Office Filtration System Commercial Water Filtration System in Building
• Approximate cost for following tablet Instructions For Use (IFU) = € 821/year for one operatory †
• Shocking and monitoring: Required procedures included in ALL tablet IFUs - Necessary to maintain compliant CFU counts • Staff time and expense to manage daily tablet use as well as shocking and monitoring procedures per IFUs • Tablets must be added at every water change and given the proper time to dissolve • Service technician calls may increase due to a gradual buildup of tablet residue and undissolved tablets potentially blocking connections and narrow passageways. Tablet residue and undissolved tablets may also adversely affect expensive handpieces over time
• Simply using source water containing <500 CFU/mL of bacteria in a self-contained water bottle will not eliminate bacterial contamination in treatment water if biofilms in the water system are not controlled. “Removal or inactivation of DUWL biofilms requires use of chemical germicides 1 ” • Based on biological instability of reverse osmosis water, efforts to minimize bacterial growth in the distribution system (DUWL) should be actively treated for compliance to CFU/mL 14
• Potential risk of staff exposure to daily chemicals
