Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser Countertop Oral Irrigator For Teeth

A: I believe it is probably because Waterpiks, as well as other such devices, can develop mold inside of the wand devices.

A: Waterpik recently completed testing of our water flosser products for compliance with the California Proposition 65 law. Test results indicate no chemicals on the Proposition 65 list were detected or exceeded the Safe Harbor Limit; therefore, the Proposition 65 labeling has since been removed from our Oral Care products.

A: Less time refilling, better flow for flossing session Just dry it well and shake water out of the pieces

A: The only con I've noticed is that it is too loud.

A: The Waterpik Water Flosser has been around since 1962 and is designed to take the place of traditional string floss and has actually been clinically proven to be up to 50% more effective than traditional string floss for improving gum health. You can read the clinical research here: https://www.waterpik.com/oral-health/clinical-research/ In addition, we have been awarded the American Dental Assoiciation's prestigious Seal of Acceptance for its efficacy and safety.

A: Yes it is very easy to remove. Pulls right off for easy filling, emptying, and cleaning.

A: Yes! I dry it on a clean wash rag in my bathroom window for next time

A: For longer life out of your Water Flosser, don't allow the reservoir to run completely dry when using. When the water pressure begins to decrease as the water level drops (you'll hear a change in sound), turn the unit off. It'll keep the pump from running dry.

A: Thank you. Between the standard cleaning, are there vents on the top to help dry the tips between uses?

A: Hello Linda - The lid is there to cover the reservoir and store you're most used Jet Tips. We recommend cleaning your water flosser and accessories regularly to prevent any buildup.

A: You need to change in the description that this runs on a battery as power source.

A: Hi Eileen - The Ultra is compatible with 120VAC/60Hz outlets, for use in North America only.

A: All Waterpik Ultra Water Flossers are electric. Thank you for alerting us to this error. We are working to get it fixed.

A: Question was asked in 2020. In December 2024, the description is still incorrect. I almost didn't buy it because of the incorrect description and wouldn't have known it's actually electric with a cord and plug if I didn't read the Q&A.

A: We put mouthwash in ours often, and always run a bit of water through it after use. No problems so far after over a year!

A: sure can! I use a mix of 50/50 mouthwash and peroxide and fill the contained with a little water. works perfectly.

A: Hello Jos- The product is a motor-driven appliance, so some noise and vibration are normal. If you have any additional questions, please contact us at 1-800-525-2774 or smreviews@waterpik.com.

A: Hello Tnkbelle- Yes, but only with our Boost Tip. This unique tip allows you to use the Fresh Mint Whitening Tablets with most Waterpik water flossers. If you have any additional questions, please contact us at 1-800-525-2774 or smreviews@waterpik.com.

A: Hello A - Hello! You can definitely wash the reservoir and the unit before using it. We suggest using mild dish soap and warm water. Alternatively, you can place the reservoir on the top rack of the dishwasher; just be sure to let it air dry instead of using a heated dry cycle.
