TO PREVENT SLIME FROM FORMING INSIDE THE TANK
Allowing slime mold to form inside the tank is a generally hazardous and unhealthy condition.
Slime in the water tank will make it's way into the dental unit possibly causing permanent damage by
clogging the small tubing inside. This will cause the unit (electronics, hoses, handpiece) to overheat.
It can easily be prevented by using a few simple steps.
1. Every few weeks dispose of water in tank. Pour ½ gallon of warm water and 1 to 2 cups of
vinegar into the tank and swirl the liquid thoroughly inside the tank. The vinegar solution can
be left in the tank overnight.
2. The vinegar solution can be sent through the unit as well.
3. Dispose of the vinegar solution and rinse tank (and the unit) with clean water thoroughly and
completely.
4. Clean the outside of the pump / tank according to your facilities normal cleaning procedures.
5. The pump assembly has been pre-lubricated. DO NOT TAKE THIS ASSEMBLY APART.
