DentalPure system provides labs, dental and medical offices with distilled quality water. The DentalPure use a complex filtration process to deliver up to 12 gallons of distilled quality water per-day for use in autoclaves and clean water bottles, Combine the DentalPure system with Mint-A-Kleen dental unit waterlines and bottle cleaner, makes this system the most effective and affordable system on the market that addresses both the bio-film issue and the unwanted contaminants in city water (TDS).
Only distilled or de-ionized water is acceptable for autoclaves (steam sterilizers). Tap-water will corrode the internal components of your sterilizer, causing premature service issues and even total failure of the unit. The water used must be of the highest quality with virtually no TDS (total dissolved solids). Water should contain less than 005 ppm TDS so that the inside of the autoclave stays as clean as possible. Follow your sterilizer manufacturer’s recommendations on proper maintenance and care of your equipment.
Distilled bottled water is normally ok for your autoclaves. However, you should check even bottled water with a TDS meter to make certain the water quality is good enough for your autoclave. It is not uncommon to have a bottle of distilled water bought from a store to be above the 005 ppm limit for distilled-quality water. The DentalPure system will provides a better solution for your dental office than purchasing, carrying and storing bottles of water from a store. The system is also environmentally friendly since there are no bottles to send to a landfill.
Each DentalPure system includes a pressurized tank that stores the treated water, it holds from 4.0 – 5.0 gallons of treated water that will be delivered to the faucet instantly. As soon as water is taken from the tank the system starts making more treated water. The system can make about 12 gallons of water in a 24 hour period.
The water can easily stay in the tank without going bad however, water should never sit in the tank for long periods of time without being used.
The tank should be emptied at least once each year to check the air pre-charge pressure and be sanitized. There are specific directions for performing this maintenance is your installation, operation and service manual.
The DentalPure systems are normally installed in the base cabinet of the sterilization center. Systems can also be installed in other locations as long as there is a source for the cold water for the incoming line and a drain for the waste water.
The maintenance on the DentalPure system is simple. The water quality should be checked with the provided TDS meters about once per week. (When changing the water in the autoclave) The Pre, Post and deionization filters and should be changed at least once per year. The RO/Module should be changed every 3 years. Consult the installation, operation and service manual for complete details. (Page #13)
Under normal conditions the Pre, Post and Deionization filters should be changed at least annually. The RO/Module only needs changed every 3 years. Checking the water quality weekly with the provided TDS meters this will help you keep ahead of any required filter changes.
Yes. The DentalPure system can be used to fill dental bottles, and any other dental/medical equipment that uses water in your office.
Water to the office should always be shut off at night, preventing water damage should any water lines leak. If the office has a water solenoid shut-down system, simply turn switch off before leaving for the day. Otherwise, the system can be turned off by simply closing the inlet feed valve. (Cold Water line)
The only requirement for installing a DentalPure System is cold water (3/8”valve-stop cold water supply) and a nearby drain. Most offices install the DentalPure system into the base cabinet of the sterilization center. No electricity is required for this system, unless water pressure is less than 50 psi. (Water pressure less than 50 psi will require a booster pump)
Changing the filters is not all the hard however, most dental offices have a trained service technician or maintenance person come in and replace filters.
There is certainly a huge savings in staff time and convenience. There are no trips to the store for water or expensive water delivery services. The capital investment can be quickly recovered in these cost savings.
The handheld TDS meter is provided for testing the output water weekly. Water should be tested weekly for water quality (TDS) with the TDS meter that was provided with your system. Water quality should meet your autoclave manufacture r’s requirements for TDS. If the product water quality does not meet your autoclave manufacture r’s requirements, please refer to maintenance schedule on page # 13 in your installation, operation and service manual.
