It’s always great to have too much of anything, except body fat and debt. In dental suction I have heard that too much suction is potentially dangerous. I am not a dentist so I should agree. At BaseVac our systems can create as much as 25’’hg in a closed suction system. Note closed. So if one suction tool was all that was open and you stuck it on your tongue you could get 25’’ hg or a nasty hicky. By throttling the valve on the suction tool you would reduce the flow into the tool and increase the velocity at the tip. The speed of the air will cause the excitement to move things around but if you stick it to your tongue you will still get 25’’hg. To prevent this a BaseVac installer can adjust the built in silenced vacuum regulating valve to any energy point from 5’’ to 25’’Hg. This should be adjusted during a normal day and changed based on the normal fluctuations of usage.

A higher vacuum level means more flow into the system with less fluctuation in the vacuum levels. Its finding the comfort level on each installation to ensure each dentist is comfortable with the power of the system.

I still like more of everything because with more I can share it to end up with less or adjust to less if I have to.
