Can water treatment facilities minimize their vulnerability to shortages?
Since the supply of fluoridation products can be subject to occasional periods of shortages, water treatment facilities should have at least 3 months of inventory on hand. Water treatment facilities should monitor their inventories, order supplemental deliveries with sufficient lead time, and arrange for alternate suppliers who have different national distributors. It is also beneficial to verify pump delivery calibration and increase confirmatory testing. Regular and careful calibration of metering pumps can ensure that optimal fluoridation is provided with minimal waste.
