<p>A method for removing biofilm from, and/or for preventing biofilm from forming on, an interior surface of a conduit (235) that receives a supply of water (210), is performed by disabling the supply of water to the conduit, and passing an ozone-containing gas to the conduit. The ozone-containing gas can be generated from an oxygen-containing gas that is exposed to either a corona discharge or ultraviolet radiation. In an alternate embodiment, the water is disinfected by the ultraviolet radiation. The invention is especially suited for use with dental equipment.</p> |
