1. Purpose of equipment
   1. The equipment provides a flow of filtered water through valves which regulate water temperature and pressure. Separate inflow and outflow plumbing in combination with a back flow prevention valve prevents contamination of the potable water. The equipment does not assist in the evacuation of waste as it has no power source. The equipment used in colon hydrotherapy must be manufactured by a reputable company, using materials and methods in accordance with industry standards. Industry standards for the last twenty years have been FDA regulations.

The instrument we use is a Dotolo Toxygen Colon Hydrotherapy Instrument. This system includes a filtering system, which has particle filters, carbon filter and an ultraviolet lamp. It is a closed system that uses new sanitized tubing for each client. There is a temperature gauge and pressure gauge to aid in keeping the client as comfortable as possible. There is also an electric lift table to accommodate those in wheelchairs and others who have a hard time getting up and down.
