SciCan StatPure vs Sterisil System G5
High-quality water is a fundamental requirement for modern dental practices, serving as a critical pillar for both patient safety and equipment longevity. Contaminated water can introduce harmful bacteria, increasing infection risks, while mineral-heavy “hard” water causes corrosive damage to sensitive instrumentation—particularly autoclaves. Adhering to strict water purity standards is both a regulatory necessity and an ethical imperative for patient care.
At Sterilizer Autoclave Solutions, we are dedicated to providing the infrastructure necessary to maintain these standards. In this article, we compare two industry-leading solutions: the SciCan StatPure and the Sterisil System G5 water filtration systems. We’ll look at their core features to help you better understand them both, and in turn, see which one might be right for you.
And if you have any questions about either of these water purification systems or anything else, give us a call at 704-966-1650 Option 3 for our Free Tech Support Line.

The Choice is Yours
Water quality is a cornerstone of both patient safety and clinical efficiency in any practice. Impure water can lead to a list of different issues down the line for your patients. Beyond the risk of infection posed by contaminants, mineral buildup from hard water can significantly shorten the lifespan of sensitive equipment, including your autoclaves. Which is why water purification is so vital to the work.
