HOW TO USE LINETAB

Getting Started

To begin using LineTab, your waterlines must first be shocked. LineTab is formulated to prevent new microbial growth in clean systems, but it is not designed to remove existing biofilm. Performing an initial shock ensures your lines start at a baseline of 0 CFU/mL, allowing LineTab to maintain safety and compliance moving forward.

Step 1 - Prepare Bleach Solution.

Please Note: Do NOT use splash-free bleach.

If using bleach with 5.25% - 6.25% sodium hypochlorite, mix 1 part bleach with 9 parts water.

If using bleach with 7% - 8.25% sodium hypochlorite, mix 1 part bleach with 13 parts water.

Step 4 - Check for Contamination.

If waterlines are heavily contaminated, repeat steps 1-3 until the water exiting the lines tests for 0 CFU/ml.

LineTab is now ready to use! Simply add 1 tablet per 0.7 liters of tap water every time you fill your dental water bottle.
