A-dec warrants its products against defects in material or workmanship for one year from time of delivery (except for handpieces which have a warranty period of six months).

(All special, incidental, and coincidental damages are excluded.) Written notice of breach of warranty must be given to A-dec within the warranty period. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper installation or maintenance, accident or misuse. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from the use of cleaning, disinfecting or sterilization chemicals and processes. The warranty also does not cover light bulbs. Failure to follow instructions provided in A-dec's Operation and Maintenance Instructions (Owner’s Guide) may void the warranty.

About Your Self-contained Water System
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.
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.
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.

Self-contained Water System
How Does It Work?
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.
