The Bacteria Problem
Biofilm is made up of odour-causing bacterial colonies that adhere to the internal plumbing walls in dental units. If not properly treated, all waterlines and valves become coated with this bacteria that grows exponentially at room temperature and contaminates the water. The result is unpleasant odours and unsafe water.
