An answer to your amalgam separation needs

Having sold more than 250,000 amalgam separators around the globe, Pure Water Development — METASYS Group is a worldwide leader in amalgam separation technologies. In the United States, Pure Water produces and distributes the ECO II, an ISO 11143-certified amalgam separator that meets all states’ requirements because it removes more than 99 percent of amalgam from a dental office’s wastewater.

The ECO II is centrally installed before the main vacuum, accommodating either wet or dry systems. Because of its compact size, the ECO II fits into even the smallest spaces. The separator comes with wall-mounting brackets, all necessary fittings and an easy-to-follow installation manual. Installation can be accomplished in just 30 to 60 minutes.

Unlike many other separators, the ECO II will never clog or cause the vacuum system to stop functioning. Amalgam is separated via advanced sedimentation technology, and fine particles are captured with a special mercury absorbing material. Thanks to its advanced air- and water-separation technology, the vacuum stream and the amalgam separation occur separately, protecting your practice from costly downtime.

The ECO II is virtually maintenance-free. Approximately once per year, the captured amalgam must be sent in for recycling and the replacement unit inserted — a process that takes only a few minutes and requires no special tools or expertise. The replacement unit comes with a prepaid label for the recycling of the full container.

Once the full container is received by Pure Water’s recycling facility, the dentists will receive a recycling certificate for their records. The certificate is their proof of recycling, and receiving it relieves them of all liability.

Pure Water Development offers one of the most environmentally friendly processing of amalgam waste available. The amalgam is recycled at the plant owned by Pure Water’s parent company, METASYS. Amalgam waste is completely recovered for reuse — there is no incineration or land-filling of the waste because these methods redistribute the hazardous materials back into the environment.
