Water Flosser Features

Water pressure settings let you control the force of the water spray produced by the water flosser. If you are new to water flossing, start at the lowest pressure setting, then increase over time to your preferred leve

All WATERPIK water flosser pressure settings are safe and effective, but they differ in terms of the number and range of settings. In general, more settings provide a wider range of pressure levels.

Depending on the model, countertop water flossers offer 3, 6, or 10 pressure settings. Most cordless water flossers include 2 or 3 pressure settings; however, the ION Professional Cordless water flosser provides 10 pressure settings ranging.

The size of the water reservoir depends on the design and type of water flosser. Cordless water flosser reservoirs hold up to 7 ounces (with the exception of the ION Professonal, which holds 22 ounces), while countertop water flossers hold up to 35 ounces.

Flossing time per full reservoir varies based on the pressure setting and the size of the reservoir. General guidelines are:

• 5 ounces (150 ml) = up to 30 seconds of flossing time
• 7 ounces (210 ml) = up to 45 seconds of flossing time
• 15 ounces (450 ml) = 60+ seconds of flossing time
• 22-35 ounces (650-1000 ml) = 90+ seconds of flossing time

You can refill the reservoir to extend flossing time.

If any liquid remains in the reservoir when you are finished water flossing, empty the liquid into the sink and allow it to dry.

For hygienic storage, countertop water flosser reservoirs either include a lid or act as a cover when inverted over the unit.

You can add a small amount of mouthwash to the water in the reservoir. (Do not exceed a 1:1 ratio of water to mouthwash). Rinse the unit afterwards by partially filling the reservoir with plain warm water and running it with the tip pointed into the sink.

To remove a water flosser tip, press the tip eject button built into the handle of the unit. When you insert a tip into the handle, make sure it clicks into place.
