Yearly Maintenance
Filters/Straw
You must replace the water lters (white block located on the blue
and green lines) in each of the coolant bottles yearly. They come
supplied with tubing and are replaced by turning o the coolant
pressure and unscrewing bottles. The old line and lter is pulled
straight down and the new line and lter is pushed on in its place.
The blue line goes into the distilled water bottle (clear) while the
green line goes into the CLS bottle (brown). We advise you use
distilled water over a direct water supply. Please speak with your iM3
representative for more information and measures that need to be
taken when working with a direct water supply.
The iM3 straw is a disinfectant that replaces water lines. It releases
silver nitrate residually over the course of 365 days to control bacteria
and pH so should therefore be replaced yearly if using. It is inserted
the same way as for lters but requires a once o ‘shock’ treatment
during initial installation/replacement. Attach the straw and switch
on the machine. Run water through all of the water lines (handpieces
with water, scaler and three way syringe) into a bucket until the water
collected is a very pale blue. Let the system sit for 24 hours and then
run all the lines again until the water collected is now clear. Water can
now be replaced as normal throughout the year.
If using CLS, you only require a Straw in your distilled bottle for
ecacy. If using distilled water in both bottles, a Straw will be
required for both bottles.
