What To Do About Low Pressure in Your Water Flosser
Clean Your Water Flosser Jet Tips
- Remove the water flosser tip from the unit using the eject button.
- Soak the tip in a container of hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar for 5-7 minutes.
- Rinse the tip under warm water.
Note: For maximum effectiveness, replace water flosser tips every 3-6 months as the tips can become clogged and/or affected by mineral deposits.
Clean Your Water Flosser
We recommend cleaning your water flosser every 1 to 3 months to ensure optimal performance.
For Countertop Models:
- Mix 2-4 tablespoons (1-2 ounces) of white vinegar with 16 ounces of warm water.
- Fill the reservoir with the solution, and then run 1/2 of it through the water flosser.
- With the unit OFF, place the water flosser handle in the sink and allow the solution to gradually drain out of the handle.
- Run any remaining solution through the unit and then rinse with a full reservoir of warm water.
For Cordless Models:
- Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to a full reservoir of warm water.
- Point the handle and tip into the sink.
- Turn unit ON and run until reservoir is empty.
- Rinse by repeating with a full reservoir of clean warm water.
Charge the Unit (Rechargeable Handheld Cordless Models) or Replace the Batteries (AA Battery Models)
Most WATERPIK Handheld Cordless models are equipped with either a rechargeable lithium-ion or rechargeable NiMh battery. Refer to your product manual for detailed charging instructions.
- Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position when charging.
- Do not run the battery down completely. This may shorten the battery lifespan.
To replace the batteries in the Cordless Express, Cordless Revive, or Cordless Freedom water flosser:
- Replace batteries when there is a noticeable change in performance.
- The type and quality of AA battery used impacts performance of the product.
- Use 3 AA Batteries (replace with alkaline or NiMH batteries only)
- Replace all batteries at the same time with new batteries of the same type and brand.
