New Dry Vacuum System to be Installed in Cortez Dentist Office

Errin Walker • March 1, 2016

Cortez Family Dentistry is making the transition to a dry vacuum system from a wet system. This Cortez dentist office recognizes the many advantages and environmental benefits it will have. When you visit your dental office, the last thing on your mind to contemplate is the amount of water your dentist uses. Dr. Walker is proud to announce that we will be converting the office to a dry vacuum system. That means that we will no longer be using 2-3 gallons a minute to flush the lines in the operatory all day during operating hours. This is a huge reduction in water wastage. Water conservation in the Southwest is particularly important. We realize how precious water is to all of the local areas around Cortez and beyond.

Not only are we reducing the amount of water that it takes to run the lines but the new system will also have an amalgam separator. That means that concentration of mercury in the effluents at the wastewater treatment center will be reduced. The new system is also oil free, which means the exhaust oil vapors from the current system will also be eliminated.
