ELGA Process Water has supplied a Biopure 15 water treatment system to the Valley Dental Practice in Clacton-on-Sea. The practice was set up by Sarah Robinson who is committed to maintaining her Denplan Excel accreditation. The Denplan quality programme requires best practice, and that means ensuring that water used in washer disinfectors and sterilisers meets the quality standards set out in the Health Technical Memorandum 01-05: Decontamination in primary care dental practices.

Sarah's practice previously used bottled water to supply two washer disinfectors and two sterilisers, however, this proved costly, and the storing, handling and disposal of the plastic bottles was inconvenient. The Biopure 15 has changed all that. It can supply up to 15 l/h of purified water that more than meets the HTM01-05 guidelines for hardness, conductivity and endotoxin content. Sarah's decision to purchase the Biopure 15 as part of an investment to upgrade the decontamination facilities at Valley Dental Practice has proved very successful. It incorporates all the necessary purification steps in a single small cabinet that is simply connected to a mains or softened water supply that delivers purified water directly to the washer disinfector and sterilisers, as well as its integral dispensing gun for manual filling of autoclaves, ultrasonic baths, sinks and dental unit water lines.

"The running cost of our water softener and Biopure system is a lot lower than buying bottled water and it's much more convenient providing 24/7 on demand purified water.It's easy to sanitise, which we do regularly, and changing the treatment cartridge is really simple," says Sarah. "The performance of the Biopure system and the support and training offered by ELGA Process Water have far exceeded our expectations
