The quality of city source water is below 200 CFU/ml, what is the concern?
The dental community needs to see this in bold print: ” WHAT GOES INTO THE DENTAL UNIT IS NOT WHAT EXITS THE DENTAL PORTS”. It’s a simple issue but the dentist being unfamiliar with the problem does not understand the architecture of biofilm and the habitat within the dental unit waterlines. Water, even of 0 growth potential, cannot reverse a preexisting biofilm history. Chemical intervention to remove the biofilm from the dental unit waterlines is a necessary compliment that creates an environment where water with 0 growth potential will not encourage biofilm reformation. City source water with less than 500 CFUs/ml will exponentially expand in numbers within hours to an unacceptable level, after being delivered to the stagnant confines of the dental unit waterline. The difference between the Waterclave system and the city source water is that the Waterclave System will deliver 0 CFUs/ml consistently to the dental unit waterlines and because of this will not influence the tubing envir
