The topic of DUWL maintenance has re-surfaced regularly over the years. How far back does this topic go? Dr. G.C. Blake DDS published the very 1st report in 1963 on Bacterial Contamination. At the time, his study referenced ‘bacterial contamination’ as the term biofilm was non-existent. We now know the contributing factor of the DUWL maintenance issue is biofilm. The water itself is clean, however, it can be exposed to biofilm within the narrow tubing contaminating the water that comes in contact with clients. The maintenance program of a DUWL system can be simplified by equating the issue to risk management.
