Water Flosser for Family Use Oral Irrigator Non-Electric Safety Adjustable Faucet Shower Spa Water Pressure Dental Oral Care

This works so much better than machine driven irrigators. Higher pressure, higher flow. One pass blows everything stuck in my teeth. I inserted a small wire in the nozzle, heated the nozzle so I could bend the nozzle more at a 90 deg angle and I get a better angle of attack at my teeth without pinching off flow. Read more

I measured my household water pressure at 72 p.s.i. If your pressure is lower or higher, performance will vary accordingly. This is more compact and powerful than a water flosser with an electrically powered pump and a water tank. Who needs all that extra stuff? Household water pressure in a typical home is more than enough to make it blast food particles out from between your teeth. I've used it after eating nuts or dried fruit that sticks onto and between my teeth, and it does an excellent cleaning job. In fact, if you have normal water pressure, turning your faucet on all the way could hurt your gums. Before turning the diverter valve to horizontal and sending water through the nozzle, leave the diverter lever pointing down and adjust the water stream coming out of the faucet to a small trickle. Then, before using the unit in your mouth, point the nozzle at the sink drain, turn the diverter valve lever to horizontal, stick your finger in the water stream, and adjust the water pressure with the faucet until it is where you want it. I find that using the diverter lever on the side of the faucet adapter to turn it on and off is preferable to the on/off thumb switch on the unit. Put the nozzle in your mouth, close your lips around it, then turn the diverter lever to horizontal. Clean your teeth and gums by feel. If you try to use it with your mouth open and looking in the mirror, you'll have water everywhere. Be sure to be leaning over with your mouth near the sink when you spit. Turn the diverter lever down (or, if you're all finished, just turn off the water faucet) before removing the nozzle from your mouth. Be sure the diverter lever is down before leaving the sink, so somebody doesn't accidentally squirt water all over the bathroom. The package comes with a lot of plastic extra parts for adapting the diverter valve to various different sizes of spigot threads. If you have a well-known brand, up-to-date faucet fixture with aerator, you probably won't need any of those adaptors. The chrome plated metal one worked fine for me. It also has adaptors so it can be used in the shower, but I didn't set mine up that way because I didn't want to have to get in the shower every time I wanted to clean my teeth. Just a few things that could be improved: 1) Printed instructions could be more complete. 2) The included plastic hex-wrench gets cut by the metal adaptor because it isn't strong or hard enough. You may want to buy a metal Allen wrench at a hardware store. 3) I'd prefer a simple, compact wall-mounting bracket that could be screwed to a stud instead of the stick-on "mini-cabinet" with all the nozzles out in display -- I'd rather keep the nozzles in a drawer or medicine cabinet and have a small separate bracket on which to hang the unit.

Pretty easy to install, works well. Read more

Connected to the shower head and it works great! No need to fill a tank. Excellent low-cost alternative to a waterpik. Read more

it is a well made flosser, nothing wrong about it except the concept, the amount of water coming out of it is great, however it is a steady stream, not pulsating like the electric flossers, it does not fully dislodge food particles between the teeth, lots of debris remain Read more

This is a low-cost sprinkler for dental irrigation. It consists of a reasonably good ball valve metal diverter which can be screwed instead of the aerator/filter on the tap, and a cheap-looking, lightweight plastic handle with replaceable nozzles (5 come with it). The installation was easy, but the first time when I tightened the thread, the diverter separated and I had to return it for replacement. IMHO, the mounting with a locking washer made of round (!) thin wire is not a great engineering. The replacement came in and installed OK. The handle is a bit inconvenient. First, the button which is in convenient location is actually release button for the nozzle. Second, the slider on the side (which is a bit harder to move) controls the flow pressure and turns water on. This is very inconvenient - it suggests that you cannot turn water off an on at preset pressure with a push of a button. So you end up with a full mouth of water because you cannot modulate the water flow. Yes, one can cope with it, but it is also poor design, I expected a pushbutton to instantly turn the water on and off. I also was looking for a way to add medication or Listerine to the jet - but this is not possible. The latter feature probably would bring it to a different price point - and I have not seen anything like available. So it is good diverter (5 stars), inconvenient handle (2-3 stars). Overall, I'll give it 3 stars and it matches the price it is sold for. Read more

Excellent! I'd buy it again. I have one of these in my shower and I wanted one attached to my sink. It works great and the many attachments to the faucet that it comes with makes attachment easy.., Just need a little trial and error when you remove the faucet aerator. I control the water pressure easily with the lever attached to the adapter and not the on-off switch attached to the flosser. Just be sure you're leaning over the sink and let the water flow out of your mouth as fast as it comes in. Keeps your lips loose. Read more

I love this thing! My husband installed it but he said it was easy. I use it for a permanent bridge that I used to have to fish floss through. It really irrigates that area well and is so much easier than flossing that area. I wouldn't give up my regular floss for the rest of my teeth but it is great for very hard to floss areas. You have to be careful though, if your faucet is on too high it actually can cut your gums. As long as you control your faucet though it is perfect and so convenient. No more filling up a tank. You can use it continuously until you shut the water off. Great product! Read more
