MAI Care Solution for the most part, dental surgeries use water distillers to purify water that’s used in sterilizers or autoclaves, or for other medical activities carried out in a dental surgery. Water distillers feature a heat source and a condenser, and remove contaminants with a higher boiling point than water, such as heavy metals, minerals, or bacteria. However, water distillers are not efficient against contaminants with a lower boiling point than water (e.g. chlorine), which means that these contaminants can transfer to the condensed water and further purification or pre-filtration might be needed. This is where dental surgery water filters come in, which produce medical-grade water at a faster rate and at a fraction of the cost of distilled water
