Continu Dental Waterline Cleaner & Disinfectant

Description

Clean dental unit waterlines aren’t a nice-to-have, they’re an HTM 01-05 and CQC expectation, and biofilm builds up faster than most practices expect. Continu is a simple, once-a-week waterline disinfectant that keeps your lines clean and your water safe, without the harsh chemistry some treatments rely on.

It’s CE marked for use with medical devices and independently proven to deliver a 99.999% reduction in legionella to EN 13623, while removing the biofilm that builds up inside dental unit waterlines. Because it’s water-based, Continu is gentle and non-corrosive, so it clears your lines without damaging the bottles or pipework, and it stays non-toxic and biocompatible in use.

It’s kind to your budget too. Continu is used at a straightforward 50:50 dilution, so a single 5-litre container treats a chair fitted with a 1-litre bottle for around ten weeks. One weekly step, very little fuss, and a clean, defensible waterline routine you can show an inspector.

How do I use Continu?

Use Continu at a 50:50 dilution with water as a once-a-week treatment, running it through your dental chair’s waterlines.

Does Continu help with HTM 01-05 and CQC compliance?

Clean waterlines are an HTM 01-05 expectation and something CQC inspectors will look at.

It doesn’t replace your wider water management responsibilities, but it’s a solid foundation for them.
