Components of the water unit
5.5.1 Clean the gold trap
The gold trap retains larger solid particles to prevent them from being
washed down the drain in the cuspidor bowl. The amalgam rotor must be
replaced and the sediment container must be emptied less often.
Amalgam residues, amalgam rotor and sediment container
1. Remove the gold trap from the drain of the cuspidor bowl.
2. Remove the amalgam residues from the gold trap. Amalgam residues
must be disposed of separately.
3. Clean the gold trap.
4. Reinsert the gold trap.
CAUTION
Amalgam residues must not enter the public sewage system.
Amalgam is a mercury compound that is hazardous to water.
➢ Do not dispose of amalgam residues in a sink.
➢ Collect amalgam residues in a closed container with water. Dispose
of amalgam residues, e.g. when replacing the amalgam rotor by
filling the amalgam residues into the amalgam rotor or when
emptying the sediment container.
