Self-contained Water System
Service information and warranty information
are located on the inside front cover and
front page.
The A-dec self-contained water system is
designed so you can optimize the quality of your
dental unit water. With an A-dec self-contained
water system, you control the quality of water
expelled from dental handpieces and syringes
in two ways: (1) you select the quality of your
dental unit water source, and (2) you perform
waterline asepsis and treat your waterlines with
the proper disinfectants.

About Your Self-contained Water System
Caution
Use caution when using the self-contained water
system on any dental units equipped with
components which might fail when the water
supply is interrupted. Scalers and water heaters
(except the low voltage inline water heater/heated
syringe tubing) are examples of components which
can be permanently damaged if operated without a
continuous water source.
Note
The benefits from using your A-dec self-contained water
system are realized only when periodic system flushing and
disinfection procedures are followed. Failure to follow the
procedures in this manual may expose patients to
water with higher than normal microbe counts.
The disinfection procedures in this Owner’s Guide were
developed to enhance the water quality from an A-dec
handpiece delivery system. These procedures are
recommended for all A-dec handpiece delivery systems.
If you have questions regarding the A-dec self-contained
water system with non-A-dec equipment, contact
your equipment dealer or the manufacturer of your
delivery system.
Air, regulated to 40 psi (276 kPa), is supplied to
the water bottle through a restrictor barb attached
to the bottle cap. The air pressure in the bottle
forces the water from the bottle up into the water
pickup tube and out to the handpiece control
blocks and the syringes. Your dental unit water
system becomes a closed system, isolated from the
municipal supply.
