Thank you for following our series on Dental Vacuum Ventilation. To date, we have covered the importance of dental vacuum ventilation, as well as options in ventilation installations. Today we will be continuing the segment on installation tips.
In today’s segment, we will be diving into condensation prevention, proper vent stack sloping, protecting against the elements, and wildlife.
BaseVac specializes in Dental Mechanical Room Equipment, making us leading experts in the most important room of the Dental Practice. BaseVac started to release blogs as our way to share our knowledge with the Dental Industry in hopes of helping Dental Professionals get a better understanding of dental vacuum and compressed air.
The current series is highlighting the importance of proper ventilation of a dental vacuum system. To date, we have covered the three main reasons why ventilation is important; 1) removing heat from a mechanical room, 2) removing contaminated air from the clinic, 3) removing dangerous gases, like nitrous gas from a clinic.
Today we are continuing our series on Dental Vacuum Ventilation. We started by providing the purpose of proper ventilation, beginning with the importance of removing heat from the mechanical room. Today we will continue that segment by explaining how proper ventilation removes contaminated air and dangerous substances from the dental clinic.
Dental Vacuum Systems are an important piece of equipment in a Dental Practice, often referred to as the “Heart of the Clinic.” Manufacturers of Dental Vacuum Systems design the installation requirements of this essential piece of equipment based on the demands of a Dental Clinic and the building code that governs them.
The future of dental vacuum is the dry-vacuum systems as they are more efficient and cost less to run overtime. One of the biggest hurdles to upgrading to a dry-vacuum system is installing a pump exhaust. Generally speaking, the building code requires ALL Dental Vacuum Systems to exhaust to an outside ventilated space. Unfortunately, somehow in many areas, old wet-vacuum systems were allowed to ventilate into a mechanical room. Though technically not to building code, these systems continue to vent into a mechanical room space, reintroducing the dirty air from the clinic’s vacuum lines back into the clinic.
The journey of commonly asked questions about BaseVac systems is coming to an end. We have two more segments left of the “After 5 Years” section of this series. Last week we covered a running motor without suction and concerns about a loud motor. Today, we will be continuing this journey by looking at intermittent vacuum: the common causes and simple fixes we may have to suggest.
Last week BaseVac Dental released the first segment of our series relating to the first few months of owning a BaseVac suction unit. So far, we have spoken about vacuum drop-off and vacuum that comes and goes periodically. Moving to part two of this series, we will review more troubleshooting, providing answers to more questions.
Upgrading a clinic’s vacuum to a BaseVac is very exciting, as no other system on the market can produce the same power as a BaseVac. With this unique and amazing power comes common questions, especially when the unit is first installed.
Though rare, sometimes some issues of weak suction can occur due to easy to resolve issues. Today marks the last segment of the New Start-up parts of the Q and A series.
Getting a new vacuum system for a Dental Practice is exciting, especially when first starting it up. Getting familiar with the vacuum profile and using this new system takes time and yields some commonly asked questions.
Today, we will be furthering our series, discussing why vacuum could come in waves.
A unique vacuum profile, such as a BaseVac, would warrant some common questions. BaseVac has released this series of commonly asked questions to help Dental Professionals find answers to their questions about BaseVac.
Last week we started our four-part series on commonly asked questions from BaseVac customers installing their new systems. Last week we covered issues with the initial start-up and rumble noises.
Thank you for following BaseVac’s blog series on commonly asked questions about our vacuum systems. Last week we covered common questions before purchasing a BaseVac system. Today we will be following a series of commonly asked questions, covering the period when our systems are first started up.
There are a few common questions with simple answers in this category; we will be dividing this segment into four parts.
BaseVac vacuum systems are designed and function like no other vacuum system in the Dental Industry. The uniqueness of our product lines often results in questions about how our systems work and how they differ from other dry and wet-vacuum systems on the market.
Today we will be providing answers to commonly asked questions by Dental Professionals.
The process of choosing a vacuum system for a Dental Practice can be a difficult choice, as it is the heart of the office. Due to the unique nature and power of BaseVac, there are many questions commonly asked by all Dental Professionals, from Service Technicians to Dental Clinic staff.
To do our best to answer these questions, BaseVac is releasing a blog series with commonly asked questions that are asked throughout buying, installation, and owning periods of a BaseVac.
BaseVac is constantly asked why our vacuum is so powerful. Our reasoning? Dentists like the BaseVac system because it is strong. We also say the extra suction power ("Hg, inches of mercury) helps to balance the load with multiple user clinics by sucking more air out of the system when the hand tools are throttled or temporarily not in use.
Today marks the end of our Suction Comparison series. Throughout every segment, we have provided Dental Professionals a better understanding of vacuum terms, how vacuums function, and which type of vacuum system is best for specific applications. Today, we will attempt to share how the information provided over these past eight weeks will assist Dental Professionals in choosing the right system for the specific needs of a Dental Clinic.
