We could not be happier with the ease of managing our dental unit waterlines with Solmetex products. They make infection control simple for our staff. We prefer silver to treat our water over iodine because there are no complicated maintenance instructions and we don’t have to remove our straws to shock or test. This is such a time savings! And we can trust that our water is clean without any foul odor or taste, which is something our patients expect and appreciate.

We recognize that maintaining a healthy practice requires ensuring the health of your water.
Keep dental unit waterlines clean of bacteria and biofilms.
Our DUWL (Dental Unit Waterline) management products are grouped into three categories: SHOCK, TEST, and MAINTAIN.
Shocking is the process of saturating waterlines with a chemical agent to kill or remove biofilm, bacteria, and other microorganisms that can accumulate inside the waterlines over time.
