Sterisil: Safer Dental Waterlines, Sustainable Practices
October is Customer Appreciation Month at Sterisil
Behind every confident patient smile is something invisible but critical: safe dental unit waterlines (DUWLs). At Sterisil, we’re proud to partner with dental professionals who make waterline safety a daily priority.
This October, we’re celebrating Customer Appreciation Month with an exclusive offer that thanks you for your commitment to protecting patients and staff: from October 6 – 19, buy 2 Sterisil Straws, get 1 FREE.
All offers are available through Solmetex.com or your Sterisil sales representative.
Why Dental Waterline Treatment Matters
Biofilm inside dental waterlines is one of the profession’s most persistent challenges. Without proper treatment, waterlines can harbor bacteria levels far above the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guideline of ≤500 CFU/mL.
Sterisil products are designed to make waterline safety simple and sustainable. Between our Sterisil SAFEWATER Solution DUWL safety protocol and our silver-ion-charged DUWL product line, Sterisil solutions help deliver safe, clean water to every patient, every time.
This Year, You’ve Taken Safety Further
Across the country, Sterisil users have made measurable progress in both safety and sustainability:
- Saved up to 500 liters of water per practice annually by eliminating the need for daily water bottle emptying. That equates to 50,000,000 liters saved across all U.S. dental practices.
- Reduced chemical waste, since silver-ion treatment lessens the need for frequent shocking with harmful chemicals. Nationwide, this means over 100,000 gallons of chlorine bleach avoided.
- Cut non-recyclable waste by 50–75% by using FASTCheck15™ strip tests, compared to most other DUWL testing methods.
- Neutralized carbon footprint with Sterisil systems, eliminating the need to ship and store heavy bottles of distilled water.
These achievements highlight what’s possible when dental teams choose safe, efficient, and environmentally conscious solutions.

Why is silver-ion treatment better than other options?
Sterisil silver-ion technology is 20x more effective than iodine, as silver ions elute at a controlled rate, and iodine elution is unpredictable–this means you only need to buy 1 straw per year instead of two, and only need to replace it once per year.
How does Sterisil AG help sustainability?
Sterisil AG eliminates the need to purchase and transport bottled distilled water. By treating incoming municipal water, it both reduces carbon emissions and prevents bacteria outgrowth that begins as soon as bottled water is opened.
How often should I test my waterlines?
The CDC recommends routine testing to ensure DUWLs remain within safe limits. Sterisil recommends testing monthly with FASTCheck15™ strip tests for a quick pass/fail result, and quarterly with Sterisil R2A with FASTRead™ for a more in-depth look at your microbial count.
What is a Sterisil Straw and how does it work?
The Sterisil Straw is a dental waterline maintenance device that you insert into your dental bottle to ensure water remains ≤ 10 CFU/ml, 50x lower than the current CDC guidelines.
It works by releasing small amounts of silver ions into the water, which kills bacteria and prevents biofilm buildup in the dental waterlines.
When I use the straw do I still need to use daily tabs?
No, you do not need to use daily tablets when you have a Sterisil Straw installed.
The Sterisil Straw replaces daily tablet treatments by providing continuous water treatment for a full year with just one installation.
