The water filter should be replaced monthly, or sooner if it appears dark or becomes so clogged with debris that water flow is impeded. The most common reason for service for ultrasonic scalers is failure by the user to regularly monitor and change the water filter. This will result in contamination and clogging of the internal water components.
These waterline filters are solely for the purpose of preventing particulates in the water supply from clogging and potentially damaging the scaler and/or insert and should not be considered a solution to address said CDC recommendations for proper dental waterline maintenance.
