| Sterilmatic STM-E & STM-EL Sterilizers The compact sterilizer that does a big sterilizer job. This little sterilizer has as much inside capacity as many large, more costly conventional sterilizers and up to five times the capacity of smaller tabletop units. |
...............................................................SECTION 2: WATER CONDITIONS
Market Forge from time to time is asked the question about using distilled or dionized water for use with
our Sterilizer models STM-E and STM-EL. We are always asked why these water choices are not allowed
for use with our units and what would be recommended. To address this situation, we have complied
the following as a means of satisfying these questions:
1. We have found that the use of distilled or dionized water will aggressively attack the pure coat of ...
.....Aluminum Alclad, which protects the bottom surface from oxidizing and then eventually pitting...............
////(reference: Operating and Maintenance Instructions).
2. In addition pitting can also be caused by several other external environmental factors.
Few examples are as follows. These conditions have been highlighted in our documentation.
..................................................................IMPORTANT NOTE:
Market Forge will not be responsible for damage resulting from the use of hard or corrosive water, from
failure to drain the unit daily, or from inadequate cleaning procedures.

2. In addition pitting can also be caused by several other external environmental factors.
Few examples are as follows. These conditions have been highlighted in our documentation.
- Grains of hardness in the water supply should be as follows (.25 to 2).
- a pH imbalance in the water supply can greatly affect the life to the aluminum cylinder. The pH
range that would be recommended is between 7.0-8.5.
- The lack of a positive electrical ground can cause an electrolytic reaction that will accelerate pitting.
- Another contribution to accelerate pitting is the type of cleaning solutions used or the abrasive
scrubbing pads. If a low pH is present with the detergents being used or an abrasive pad, the
protective Alclad coating will be removed during the cleaning process.
- Spillage of media being sterilized can also contribute to the accelerated pitting if it is corrosive.
