INTRODUCTION
The Sterisil®System G5 takes the existing 6 stages of water treatment found in our G4 Systems and merges
them with an on-board Class A ultraviolet disinfectant and integrated smart technology. The result is the most
advanced dental water treatment system in the world.
The G5 employs Sterisil’s potent silver based residual disinfectant delivering a class leading EPA claim of ≤
10CFU per ml HPC purity; that’s 50 times lower than the acceptable standard set forth by CDC and ADA. In
addition, the G5 is the only dental water system in the world to feature Class A ultraviolet (UV) irradiation capable
of killing 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.*That’s class leading disinfection without tablets or daily additives and
only 10 minutes of annual maintenance.
Integrated smart technology allows for live, 24/7 monitoring and alerts accessed anytime via the PC app or
touchscreen enables the user to see real time data from a network of on-board sensors for convenient system
health monitoring. In the event of a maintenance alert, users can access built-in troubleshooting guides
pertaining to their specific error for quick and easy resolution.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
INITIAL INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
IMPORTANT TO THE OWNER
We recommend a certified Sterisil®installer, professional technician, or plumber familiar with dental offices
perform the installation since interfacing with a cold water line and drain is involved. He/she should be familiar
with local plumbing codes and techniques for successful dental equipment installations.
Please keep the installation and maintenance manual on-hand for future reference. Ensure those responsible
for operation and maintenance of the system is familiar with all details contained in this manual. Please return
the warranty registration form via mail or register online at sterisil.com/warranty immediately upon installation.
The Sterisil®System G5 unit requires power to produce water. In the event of a power outage, water will still be
dispensed but will not be replenished until power is restored.
IMPORTANT TO THE INSTALLER
Please read the entire installation and maintenance manual and watch the installation video at sterisil.com/sterisil-
system-g5 before proceeding with the installation and initial operation. Always follow local plumbing codes and
municipal regulations. Familiarize yourself with the G5 drawings and diagrams included.
The G5 can be installed nearly anywhere in the typical dental, medical, lab, or hospital setting, typically near a
faucet and sink. The system and tanks are designed to fit under a counter-top, but can be installed anywhere
there is a quality, cold water supply and drain connection. Please locate the system serial label on the left panel
of the unit or go to the settings tab on the touchscreen. Record the installation date on the warranty card. Please
ensure you send in the warranty card or register online.
The initial set up can take up to 3–5 hours depending on customer specifications. Ensure the lengths of tubing
provided will meet the needs of your specific configuration. All tubing cuts should be made at a right angle to
the tubing itself. Be sure to inspect the ends for burrs before establishing a connection.

PHASE 4: SOURCE WATER AND TUBING
Ensure the source water to the Sterisil®System G5 remains closed until the procedure calls for it to be turned on.
SOURCE WATER CONNECTION - (BAG D)
Supply Tee
• Turn off the water on the municipal supply line. For now the main valve will remained closed.
• Remove the existing hose, wrap the threads with thread tape, and install the supply tee on the cold water
supply. Tighten the tee with a wrench. Hot water should not be used to feed the system.
TUBING CONNECTIONS
To make a connection with quick connect fittings, you will simply push the tubing into the fitting until it stops.
When making cuts, be sure to cut at a right angle to the tubing itself, and inspect the ends for burrs. Be sure to
factor any movement in the system into the tubing length so as to not put tension on ports or components.
Source water (Supply Tee to Source Port)
(Red fitting collar):
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS: Booster Pump and Pre-filter Kit, see
page 14.
• Insert the white 1/4” tubing into the supply tee. The other end
of this tubing will run to the “SOURCE” port on the side of the
system.
• Cut and install the Single Check Valve (SCV) on this line. (Bag
D)
• Cut and install a 1/4” inline ball valve.
Dental Port (Blue fitting indicator):
• Run a 1/4” line from the blue “DENTAL” port to the chrome

Drain Port (Black fitting indicator): (Bag D)
• Run a 1/4” line from the black “DRAIN” port to the Drain Saddle
Valve (DSV).
• Note: If you have a floor drain that is accessible you can
always run tubing straight from the black “DRAIN” port on
the system to the floor drain. If not, you will need to install the
drain saddle valve on an existing drain pipe.
Drain saddle valve:
• Start by marking the drain pipe where you intend to drill your 1/4”
hole. The DSV will need to be before or after the peatrap.
• Attach the gasket and mount the saddle valve with the provided
nuts and bolts to the drain pipe.
• Once the DSV is properly mounted remove the gray collet from
the hole.
• Drill through the hole into the drain pipe.
• When you drill the hole, be sure not to drill through the other side
of the drain pipe.
• Clear any metal shavings from the hole, then reinsert the collet.
• Run 1/4” line from the black “DRAIN” port on the system to the DSV.
RO Tank Port (Yellow fitting indicator):
• Run a 3/8” line from the yellow “RO TANK” port on the system to the 3/8” Tank Ball Valve on the RO Water
Storage Tank.
RO port (Yellow fitting indicator):
• If no auxiliary RO water will be used then this yellow RO port should remain plugged.
PHASE 5: POWERING UP, PROGRAMMING THE TOUCHSCREEN, AND FILLING THE
TANKS
POWERING UP
Plug in the G5. The touchscreen will power on, and you will be brought to the home screen.
PROGRAMING THE TOUCHSCREEN
(All programing steps below are represented in the installation
video at sterisil.com/sterisil-system-g5.)
• Bring up the details view by touching either the desired Stage
number from the “Home” screen or select the “Stages” tab from
the bottom row.
• Stage 1’s lifespan is for 364 days. If the counter is not reading
364 days you will select “Replace component,” select Stage 1
from the drop-down menu and hit replace.
• Stage 2’s lifespan is based on liters processed and is effective
up to 9,463L. If the counter is not reading 9,463L, you will select
“Replace component,” select Stage 2 from the drop-down menu
and hit replace.

12 13
• Stage 3’s lifespan is based on either a 364 day count or the TDS quality of water coming off it. If the counter on
Stage 3 is not reading 364 days you will select “Replace component,” select Stage 3 from the drop-down menu
and hit replace.
• Stage 4’s lifespan is a function of water quality. The alarm will sound if water quality reaches above 10ppm on
the lead cartridge. No resetting is required upon initial installation.
• The UV light’s life is based on both light intensity and a 364 day count. To reset the light monitor, select the “UV
lamp” tab on the bottom row and select replace component.
• Stage 5’s lifespan is based on a liter count. Each Stage 5 is marked with its liter capacity. From the Stage 5
details screen verify that your maximum capacity matches the capacity printed on the cartridge. If not, reset
the count to the correct number.
FILLING THE TANKS
At this point both storage tank valves should be closed: meaning the ball valve knob is turned perpendicular with
the tubing going in.
• Open the RO and Dental Storage Tanks by turning the tank ball valve knob in line with the tubing.
Confirm source water pressure is above 65 PSI and below 125 PSI.
• Open the Source Water Valve at your municipal supply.
• The RO and dental tanks will slowly begin to fill. Allow for 8–12 hours for tanks to completely fill.
• Check connections and ensure there are no leaks.
OPERATIONAL TEST
• Allow the RO and Dental Water Tanks to fill completely before performing the operational test.
• After four hours, open the valve at the white Autoclave Faucet, and start running water. At this point you should
be looking for leaks anywhere in the system and connecting tubing. Once you have water at the faucet and
confirmed there are no leaks, run for 2–3 minutes, then close the faucet.
• Repeat this process for the chrome Dental Water Faucet.
Direct Feed System: Run handpiece water at the furthest chair from the system. Check for leaks. Note: You will
not have adequate water pressure until the Dental Tank has filled.
PROGRAMMING
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
PRE-FILTER KIT (OPTIONAL COMPONENT)
Considerations:
Account for a minimum of 2” clearance at the bottom for future filter replacements. Location of Pre-filter and
Inline Ball Valve diagram is on page 5.
• Turn off your source water.
• Find a location where you can drive the screws for the bracket into the wall that will reach both your source
water line and your Sterisil®System G5 source line.
• If you have a Sterisil
®
Booster Pump, the Pre-filter Kit will go before the Booster Pump on the source water line.
• Use a 15/64” to ¼” drill bit to drill holes in which to put the anchors.
• Drive the #10 screws into the anchors through the holes in the metal mounting bracket.
• Use the thread tape to cover the threaded end of the push-in fitting adapter.
• Twist the two quick connect fitting adapters into the two holes on the head of the filter housing.
• Attach the filter housing to the mounting bracket using the screws provided.
• With towels ready to catch the leaking water, make a clean square cut on the source line using a tube cutter or
sharp knife. Note: If the cut is jagged, the connection will not be secure and may leak. At the “IN” on the Pre-
filter head, insert the source water line. At the “OUT” on the pre-filter head, insert the water line to the system.
Make sure the tubing is fully connected. You should feel it lock into place, and you should not be able to pull it
loose or have it slip out.
• Make a cut on the incoming line, and install your inline ball valve with the valve in the open position.
• Turn your source water back on.
• Check for any leaks. If there are any leaks, confirm all connections are attached securely.
• Turn your source water back off. Place one of the sediment filters in the housing, and turn your source water
back on.

Immediate Service.” Simply touch the red bar or click
on the PC app to reveal the details, and follow the “next
step alert guidance” system to resolve the issue.
You may also bring up the details view by touching
either the desired Stage number from the “Home”
screen or select the “Stages” tab from the bottom row.
STEP BY STEP FILTER REPLACEMENT
INSTRUCTIONS:
Thanks to internal valving, cartridge change outs
are simple and easy. It is not necessary to shut off
the source water from the supply tee. Water flow is
automatically shut off when a cartridge is removed.
Please have a towel nearby for excess water in
cartridges.
1. Before removing a cartridge, place a large “X” on
the one to be replaced to avoid any confusion when the new
cartridge is introduced.
2. If you are changing the Stage 3 Cartridge, it will be necessary to
remove the brine tube from the bottom of the cartridge prior to
removal. Simply push in on the collet and pull out on the tubing
to remove. You will reinstall this tube by pressing the tubing into
the collet once the new Stage 3 Cartridge is in place.
3. To remove a cartridge, rotate counter clockwise until the
cartridge is free of the valve head. A small amount of water may
escape during this process. Don’t panic, this is normal.
4. Before placing a new cartridge in the system, write the date in
the space provided on the label. Remove the yellow cap from
the top of cartridge, and rotate the cartridge clockwise into the
valve head to secure it. Ensure cartridge is fully screwed in.
5. Reprogram the capacity monitoring from the touchscreen as referenced in Phase 5 of the installation
procedure.
6. The final step when changing cartridges is to run some water for 60 seconds. For change outs on Stages 1-4,
close the RO tank and run the autoclave water. For Stage 5 change outs, close the Dental Storage Tank and
run the dental water (Stage 5).
7. Open all tanks to finish.
8. Cartridges can either be discarded in the trash or returned to Sterisil for recycling. For more information on
our recycling program visit sterisil.com/recycle.
• Make a clean square cut on the source line using a tube cutter or sharp knife. This cut should be close to
the Pre-filter Kit if included. There are arrows on the Pump to show the direction of water flow. Insert the end
coming from the municipal water source into the intake of the Booster Pump. The other end of the tubing will
go into the outlet on the Booster Pump. Push tubing until it is fully inserted into each fitting.
• On the RO tank line, make a clean, square cut as close to the tank as possible. Your Pressure Switch will
fit into this line. Push tubing until it is fully inserted into the fittings on the Pressure Switch. This Switch is
multidirectional.
• The Pressure Switch will connect to both the white ballast and the power cord on the Booster Pump.
• Turn your source water back on, plug in the power cord, and run autoclave water for 60 seconds.
• Check for any leaks. If there are any leaks, ensure pieces are properly connected.
STERISIL®WAND (OPTIONAL COMPONENT)
• Use a drill to create a hole in which to put the anchor using a 15/64” to ¼” drill bit.
• Screw the #8 screws into the anchor through the wand holder.
• Unscrew the first cartridge to stop the water to your system. You may need a towel to catch water that may
drip.
• Cut the tubing coming out of the autoclave port on the system approximately 6-8 inches from the system. Use
shard scissors or knife to cut tubing.
• Connect the Union T to this junction. Push until tubing is fully inserted into the fitting on each side.
• With the remaining female end of the Union T, connect the blue coiled hose with the inline ball valve opposite
the Union T.
• Attach the Wand to the blue ¼” tubing.
• Screw the first cartridge in to start water flow.
• Check for any leaks. If there are any leaks, make sure that the pieces are completely connected.
• The head of the Wand rotates to change the function. For small necked bottles, turn the head counterclockwise
to make the water come out in a single stream. For large neck bottles and autoclaves, a multi stream function
can be activated by turning the head of the wand clockwise.
• IMPORTANT- Make sure to turn off the ball valve between uses of the Wand to prevent leakage.

STERISIL®RECYCLING PROGRAM
Sterisil offers a free recycling program, allowing customers to recycle their used Sterisil®
Cartidges by a click of a button. Simply visit sterisil.com/green or call us directly to
request a free shipping label.
While other companies dispose 100% of their used products to a landfill, Sterisil is able to
recycle 91% of our Straws and Cartridges. In addition to recycling, Sterisil contributes to a
greener environment by being the only dental waterline company to offer a residual
disinfectant that meets BMP compliance by not increasing the mercury output in
amalgam separators.

CHANGING THE CLASS A UV LIGHT
The Class A UV light on the Sterisil®System G5 is a powerful tool in bacteria reduction. Do not remove the UV
bulb with the system plugged in. Never look directly at the bulb when it is powered up and emitting light. Removal
and replacement of an expired bulb takes less than 5 minutes and requires no special tools. Replacement may be
easier with the cartridges removed from port 5 and 6. Always wear clean gloves when handling a new UV bulb.
