Never sweat waterline compliance
Make your waterline routine second nature and patient safety a guarantee
Water you can brag about
Compliance can be tricky—but we’ve cracked the code on safe water.
Get a fresh start
The best way to get your waterlines back to that fresh, just out-of-the-box condition is to shock them with a solution that removes pesky biofilm build-up. Shocking is a critical first step to your waterline routine. It resets your lines and kills bacteria.
Regular brushing—for your waterlines
Keep biofilm at bay with patient-safe treatments that reduce bacteria growth. Just like teeth, your waterlines need regular attention to ward off harmful bacteria and stay squeaky clean.
Know what is lurking under the surface
Your waterlines are like a sweet oasis for bacteria. Even in new lines, bacteria can form up to 200,000 CFU/mL within 5 days. Great for them—bad for your patients.



The Proven Protocol to Waterline Maintenance
Shock
Shocking is to dental waterlines what a professional dental cleaning is to oral health–it is essential to ensuring major buildup is removed and waterlines remain healthy. This step whips your dental waterlines into shape by using a strong disinfectant (like diluted bleach) to completely rid your lines of contaminants to give them a fresh start every quarter.

Treat
If shocking is like a visit to the dental office, treating is like daily brushing and flossing. To maintain the clean conditions made by shocking, all lines should use treatment products like straws or tablets to reduce and inhibit the re-growth of bacteria.

Test
This essential step helps evaluate the effectiveness of the maintenance efforts. Without testing, there is no way to know that your practice is delivering safe water to every patient. Testing also provides the documentation necessary to protect your practice if an infection is thought to be linked to your office.
