It has been known for a long time that water systems can form a breeding place for bacteria. Drinking water is not sterile and contains bacteria. These bacteria can adhere to the inside surface of piping which can form a biofilm.

This biofilm layer is a breeding place and hold for new organisms and is hard to remove. Even thermal treatment is not effective enough to remove the biofilm layer.

If dentists are conscious of monitoring their (spray)water quality, good results can be achieved.



Lenntech supplies UV disinfection units.

The high efficiency lamp is accommodated in a quartz sleeve which protects the lamp from the water but which allows the UV rays to pass through it. These are housed in a hygienic stainless steel reactor.

The EN-8, the smallest unit in the EN Range handles flows up to 4 litres/minute. This is enough for the disinfection of the water supply to a dental unit.

Above all the unit is easy to install.

Because UV treatment has no aftereffect it is important to start treatment with clean tubing. Herefore we advise to clean the tubing of the dental unit with stabilised chlorine dioxide. (SCD). Available in easy to handle sachets, you can easily determine the dosage yourselve.

Chlorine Dioxide is very effective against the biofilm layer.

Chlorine Dioxide dosing systems are also available.
