Four steps to clean
Fill: Maintain waterlines daily with A‑dec Maintain solution. Specially formulated to prevent the accumulation of odor and foul-tasting bacteria in dental unit waterlines, one bottle remains active in the system preventing limescale and biofilm deposits in water-bearing lines for 30-40 working days.
Test: Check hydrogen peroxide levels weekly by dipping an A‑dec Maintain test strip into the tank. The color scale indicates the concentration level of hydrogen peroxide in the process water. Aim for 2%.
Monitor: Use a water monitoring test kit to provide a quantitative measurement of heterotrophic bacteria. If CFU/mL test results are greater than water quality standards, it’s time to shock.
Shock: A shock treatment clears deposits and removes odor and foul-tasting bacteria from dental unit waterlines. A‑dec recommends shocking the dental unit waterlines with A‑dec ICX Renew before you first use the system. After first use, shock the waterlines whenever test results indicate. Resume using A‑dec Maintain solution for your ongoing waterline maintenance.
