\u201cEd!\u201d Edna stood in the bathroom, brow furrowed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, honey?\u201d Ed shuffled down the hall from his den.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSomething\u2019s wrong with the toilet. I keep flushing it, but the water isn\u2019t clear. I think we need to call the plumber.\u201d\u00a0 Edna pressed the flush lever and frowned.\u00a0 \u201cOr \u2026 you didn\u2019t \u2026\u00a0improve<\/strong> this did you?\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry!\u201d Ed proudly lifted the toilet tank cover. \u201cThe toilet isn\u2019t broken.\u201d\u00a0 Edna could see that the tank water was also murky.\u00a0 \u201cI made a few changes to the plumbing to recirculate the water. This is how we conserve water with the tabletop sterilizers in the lab.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d Edna pulled back, her eyes wide with disbelief. Ed replaced the tank cover.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOh yeah, it\u2019s the latest and greatest in water conservation\u2014waste water recirculation!\u201d\u00a0 Ed looked down at the murky toilet bowl for a moment. \u201cBut we should probably keep the lid closed from now on.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Common sense will tell you that conserving water<\/a> in every situation is not safe, let alone a good idea. Recirculating water works for light-load dental-style tabletop autoclaves, which are primarily used for rendering clean medical instruments<\/a> and dental tools sterile for immediate use.\u00a0 But tabletop autoclaves<\/a>\u00a0installed in research facilities should never recirculate water: there\u2019s risk of contamination (creating a perfect breeding ground for Legionella, among other pathogens) and a near certainty of ultimately damaging the unit, drastically decreasing its working lifespan.\u00a0 The practice is not allowed in the European Union at all, and one that Priorclave does not use in any tabletop sterilizer.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
