Looking for Answers about Waterpik Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser?

More than one.I would order more tips from them.

It comes with 6 different interchangeable tips/attachments, each one being different. I will assume that if each person does not use the other person's tip, AND the person is someone you regularly make out with anyways (aka, sharing mouth germs), then that's doable.

However, I would not recommend sharing with other members of the family. This is because when I've used it, water accumulating in my mouth will occasionally drip out of my mouth and onto the handle. I don't know what kinds of germs I am leaving behind on the handle into which the tips insert. But if the people are super strict about using clorox wipes on the handle after each use, I suppose it's possible to share the machine (not tips) with any family member??

Yes it could be us by others it has 5 or 6 different pop in and out heads that it comes with it, thats personal

It can be used by more than one person as long as you use different tips, which I think you can order online.

Purchase from waterpick extra parts. They are color coded for other members of the family though not many colors seems to be available.

They would have to have their own tips to be sanitary.

You would just buy more duplicate tips, of course.

If you have different heads it could be used by more than one person. But I would not share the same heads with anyone because they do go in your mouth. It comes with about 6 or 7 different types of heads and you can order more from the manufacturer.

You would want to have separate tips for Hygiene purposes

my wife and I share

Yes

Mine came with several tips and one was a toothbrush, but don't know how effective it is....I would use a regular toothbrush...now they have all of those spin type toothbrushes very inexpensive.

No, because it's complete different idea. Tiny water stream clean up all hidden spaces in your mouse. I use it 2-4 times a day for 5! years and can't live without it.
Also my gum stop bleeding aftrer first week. You can brush and floss your mouth few times, but right after it you use water pick and find plenty of food residue in sink.

No, it does not. The motion of the water flow would not be compatible with a brush. This "squirts" water out of the hose and attachment to remove food particles between the teeth.

Not that I see, its for hydralic flossing, prior to brushing.

It comes with a small circle tooth brush head and one even smaller brush type head for people with braces.

Yes it comes with a toothbrush attachment

The unit I got came with a few different attachments.

From the images on the box, I woudld think they come pretty standard. These include: Plaque Seeker, Classic Jet, Toothbrush, Orthodontic, Pik Pocket, & Tounge cleaner.

Keep in mind though that the heads are all really small, and you should still use an actual toothbrush (with toothpaste) and not just the Water Pik alone.

No, it doesn't.

Yes, it comes with a toothbrush tip.

You must plug it into an outlet. No battery power.

It has a power cord no ability for battery operation.

you plug in into the wall. No Batteries on this model.

Just regular cord for 110V

Standard 110 wall outlet

It plugs into the wall. No batteries.

AC

This particular unit is A/C powered.

It's electric

It plugs into the wall; there doesnt seem to be a battery option.

110V - I had to buy a battery operated unit for a trip abroad.

It is only rated for 110 volts 60hz - 34w

It's 120V only.

I think only 100V but you can contact them.

The only place that says anything about this is the sticker on the bottom of the machine, which indicates: 120 V, 60 Hz, 34 W.

It sprays a jet of water (adjustable force) between your teeth and below your gums to remove food particles, plaque and bacteria. Ask your dentist.

If you use dental floss, that's what this is, except that it uses water instead of a string.

It shoots a fine jet of water at the gum line and between the teeth to remove plaque, tartar, food and other nasty things. It will also clean out pockets that some people develop in their gums.
This model even comes with an attachment to clean the tongue of oder causing bacterias.

A jet of water goes between the teeth and does the same thing string floss does in eliminating the small particles of debris between the teeth.

I use this to take away any food left behind after brushing,flossing and rinsing.

It shoots out a fine jet of pulsating water to clean your teeth. Much the same as a dental hygienist would use.

This simple machine uses water pressure to clean between your teeth. It is used along with floss to completely clean placque and food particles that your toothbrush cannot reach.

This is a water pick that forces water out in streams to help clean between our teeth, your gum line, and between partials or would be great to get food out of braces.

A Water Pik is similar to those little tools Dentists use in your mouth to spray water when you go in for a cleaning.

It helps get you to that sought after "Dentist Clean feeling", on a daily basis.

It's similar to the thing a hygenist uses when doing a cleaning on your teeth. It's similar to flossing but with water instead. It really does get the stuff out between your teeth.

Yes, it removes debris in areas of you teeth that brushing can not. We use electric tooth brushes, but this product greatly enhances the cleaning.

Definately. I read first use the flosser and then the electric toothbrush.

It is absolutely still useful. I also have a Sonicare toothbrush and have used the Waterpic after brushing with it only to be stunned at the food particles that were still between my teeth.

Yes. You will be surprised what's hidden between your teeth that the water flosser gets.

Yes, its for water flossing before brushing. Its very cleansing with the proper tip selection, & pressure set at high.

Yes, this replaces flossing for me. I still use my electric toothbrush also. I use the pik first then the tooth brush.

absolutely, this really gets things out from between your teeth which a brush can't do at times

Yes. I use an electric tooth brush as well.

Yes, I use a Sonic Care electric toothbrush in addition to the flosser.

I went to my dentist today, and told him I had a Sonic Care toothbrush. He said the WaterPik is still needed. I don't floss, and he said this would help.

Yes. It's easy to use. I also put a little mouth wash in my warm water.

yes

Yes the tank comes right off for filling purposes

Yes, you can pop the entire clear part of the tank off the base and fill with water (then snap it back on).

Yes, the tank is removable.

It removes very easily after filling and fits back onto unit well. Very simple, very easy.

Yes it does.

Yes, the tank does remove for filling.

Yes, the tank removes for filling with warm water. It's very easy to use.

Yes the blue tank is taken out to be filled with luke-warm water.

Yes..I have just been pushing the off button to give me more time to adjust it.

Yes. Same as before.

yes

The blue button will stop the water from coming out of the end, the dial on the front is for strength of the water coming out

Yeah it does stop the water. It's more like a temporary "pause" though, because if you hold it too long the pressure will force some to eventually drizzle out.

Yes, it stops the water temporarily.

yes

Yes, the button does stop water flow.

The blue button temporarily stops the water flow.

Yes, the blue button on the hand-held part of the machine stops the water from flowing through the pik.

The manual says yes, but some antibacterial solutions could shorten the life of the unit. You should rinse the unit with water after using mouthwash to keep it from clotting the tip.

I mix equal parts warm water and BreathRx mouthwash -- works perfectly

Yes you can use mouth wash with the flosser.

Waste of product.
I mix water with listerine.9:1

I put a little mouth wash in warm water and it feels great.

We've used water/mouthwash mix in the past, & it worked fine.

You can use it with mouth wash, but even after a few uses the taste of the mouth wash remains. I would not use it with mouth wash unless you plan to use it only with mouth wash. The instructions say you can, use mouthwash with the pik, but say it may shorten the life of the pik.

Yes you could use other liquids, but this unit shoots out quite a bit of liquid it would get really expensive if you used other liquids

I would think you could use whatever you wanted.. it is "yours" when you buy it.

I personally use about a capful of mouthwash mixed in the water each time I fill it.

i mix mouthwash into the water. works wonders. WaterPik warns that this could decrease the life of your unit, so i just rinse through with clean water after each use so there is no buildup

Yes. Go to waterpik.com

Yes

The unit iteself comes with 6 different tip types meant for use by one person. THe manual says replacement tips can be purchased directly from WaterPik www.waterpik.com or phone 18005252774 (U.S.)

Yes, I got mine at Meijer and I am sure you could get them at Wal-Mart too. Make sure you get the right ones that fit on your Waterpik model though because there are a couple of different ones.

Yes you can order replacement heads.

yes you can order more parts online at the water flosser actual website

Yes, according to the manual you are suppose to replace those heads every 6 months.

We can not replacement tips in any store. Walmart does not carry them either. Walmart's "site to store" does not offer them. Try the manufacturer, that is our next option.

Yes..search the usual sites for different prices. Just be sure it fits your mode.

Yes
