INTRODUCTION
To avoid bacterial, protein, and endotoxin transmission between patients, hospitals rely on sterile services departments to ensure that reusable surgical equipment’s are clean and sterilized to consistently high standards. RO water is used in washer disinfectors for the high-temperature final rinse and to provide clean steam for autoclaves. In addition to infection prevention, the water quality used in the decontamination and sterilizing process has an impact on how stainless-steel surgical instruments age; low water quality causes stains, corrosion, and scale to build up. Pure water also keeps the washers and dryers from corroding.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY HARD WATER?
Water with a high mineral content is referred to as hard water. It's a natural effect of minerals like calcium and magnesium accumulating in the water cycle, and it can occur in both well and city water. The harder the water grows as more calcium and magnesium are dissolved in it. This is why water hardness varies so much between cities and counties even within the same state.
WHAT DOES HARD WATER CONTAINS?
1- Calcium
2- Magnesium
3- Trace amounts of other minerals
CAN POOR QUALITY OF WATER BE A REASON FOR CANCELLATION OF SURGERY?
No pitting or rust discovered on the surgical instruments would be regarded extremely risky. The stains, on the other hand, may introduce "the trappings of biologics or other substances that can make maintaining clean instruments more challenging."
The hardness of the water in the drinking system is the source of the stains. Hard water isn't toxic in and of itself, but the presence of total dissolved solids (TDS) including calcium, magnesium, and other minerals might represent a concern in instances when perfect sterility is required. Hard water minerals can change the pH level, causing alkaline and acidic levels to rise, reducing sterilizing effectiveness.
WATER FILTRATION FOR AVOIDING DELAYING IN SURGERIES
To address the problem, the hospital must built a reverse osmosis system that will remove more of the total dissolved solids that are causing the coloring. The system allows the hospital to have more control over their water quality, ensuring that the surgical instruments cleaned at their facility are sterile.
Install one of our NETSOL Water Softeners and RO Filters in the hospital to treat hard water. The salt-based technology reduces the amount of minerals and total dissolved solids in your water dramatically.
By filtering out undesired impurities such as total dissolved solids and minerals, you may avoid further hard water issues with your fixtures and appliances.
Even if you don't clean surgical tools at home, you can reap the benefits of reduced spotting and scaling. When you choose a water softener or filter with a high flow rate, simple installation, and a manufacturer's warranty, you'll never have to worry about water streaks again.
Whether you are considering a water softener or a commercial RO plant, please contact Netsol Water for product selection, installation, and maintenance. We offer a wide range of products and services for water treatment, purification, and water filtration. We are pleased to offer water treatment and purification solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
