Interplak by Conair All-in-One Sonic Water Jet System

Great for Sinus Irrigation tooBOTTOM LINE: I love the Interplak all-in-one, and hope it lasts.A FEW CONCERNS OTHERS HAVE EXPRESSED: more on sinuses further down.Accidentally hitting power switch when picking it up. Yes, if you grab the left side. Solution: use both hands, especially right hand, gripping the wand and its dock, left hand under the unit.Cover hinge fragile: I can see that, but just be careful. It is more convenient than the last Waterpik, with kidney-shaped combined cover and tip storage. Hard to seat, easy to just drop into reservoir.Reservoir o-ring too loose. It's easy to disconnect if you try to pick it up by the reservoir. O-ring does not leak, however, and to prevent that, I'll just leave it in place, and pick up the whole unit for filling and emptying.Tip does not have a release button. Okay, but it seems the Waterpik lock has a way of letting go, tip flies across the room. So Interplak seems better on that account. And I don't plan on swapping tips.WATERPIK HISTORY OF PROBLEMS:Power switch failed, odd design. Rocker button is NOT the switch, but moves a lever inside, sliding switch, fragile. Solution: hot-wired it, unplugging to turn off. Inconvenient, but it still works. Tube broke, hard to patch.Got a new one, just in case. It just stopped. Took apart, switch seems to be working, so maybe hard water deposits in pump??? Hate to say it, but Waterpik seems to change designs, not for better reliability, but for lightness and cheapness of components, and, of course, higher purchase price.INTERPLAK PROS:Beautiful cobalt blue reservoir, cute face that appears to wink.Capacity is 3 cups, enough for floss and sinus irrigation with one fill.Better ergonomics on wand/tubing storage.Coiled tube is softer and more stretchy. Should be less likely to break as Waterpik often does. Also, tube enters the wand at a right angle, good design, less stress on tube at that critical point.Pause button does not stick closed as latest Waterpik did.Power switch feels very robust, but time will tell.Pressure Maximum may be less than Waterpik, but middle power setting is fine for me, both for flossing and sinus irrigation, no nose bleeds, no pain.Not overly loud, but sonic function does add to the sound.Conclusion: at 39 bucks, heck of a deal, if it lasts. And the sonic function, switch on wand, is just icing on the cake. Does it work? Well, the wand buzzes, the tip buzzes if you touch your teeth with it, not a bad thing. I believe that the sonic energy is transferred to the water. It feels different when turned on. Tingles.SINUS IRRIGATION:IF YOU HAVE CHRONIC SINUS PROBLEMS, YOU NEED TO RESEARCH THIS. Most info will be referring to Waterpik, but applies to Interplak. You need an adapter, which can be bought, or just make one out of a disk of dense foam, poke a hole in the middle. Works fine.Now if you believe that sonic energy will dissolve plaque, imagine what it will do to mucus accumulation. And you are giving the sinuses an intense, not unpleasant, massage. Can't do that with a neti pot.Water comes out of opposite nostril, once sinuses are filled. Avoid swallowing by forming a Guh sound in the throat. Suck and blow with nose, and be appalled at what comes out. It's really good, but does require practice. After the first couple of irrigations, I sneezed several times, tickled. That never happened with the Waterpik, so I conclude that the sonic energy is transmitted by the water, not just the hardware, or the brush.Salt and baking soda in lukewarm water is the standard recipe, and that worries me regarding mineral buildup. Abrasion and wear? Baking soda has the lowest abrasive rating for tooth brushing, and there is a salt based tooth paste, almost as low, so perhaps wear on pump is not a concern if additives are fully dissolved.My plan to prevent deposits is to irrigate/floss using tap water. Then empty reservoir, holding all components together, then pour in a few ounces of distilled water. Running for a few seconds produces "zero water," TDS is zero, so I feel safe storing it with that water in the system. I.e., no dissolved solids to be deposited.If you empty it completely after treatment, it may lose its "prime." Don't correct that running at high speed, as the manual advises. Just put the wand down in the sink, let it drain. Or better yet, just suck on the tip until water comes through, then power on briefly at any speed, and you are primed to proceed with treatment.Happy Flushing and feel free to ask questions of the review!

This thing works great.At first I was skeptical of the pulsating feature. It seemed like an unnecessary gimmick. But the more I've used it, the more I find that it does seem to work well, and the battery in the handle (which I figured would need constant replacement) has lasted and lasted. It seems to me that what it really does is rapidly move the point-of-aim of the nozzle by vibrating the whole handle. And that actually seems to be a benefit because it allows the aim to cover a slightly larger area rapidly. Switching it off, I miss having it.As with any of these water jet gadgets, they don't last forever. The pumps in them seem to fail regularly. But I get a few years out of each one, and for what they do, I wouldn't be without one.My dental hygienist says I have the gums of a 20 year old!Seriously. One of the main advantages of a water jet gizmo is that it gets down under the gums and massages the daylights out of that area, strengthening and cleaning it to keep your gum pockets small and your gum tissue healthy.I have a couple of places next to teeth that have been repaired with crowns, etc., that collect food easily, and that irritates the gum pockets in those places. It's great to be able to blast those areas out easily. And everywhere else where tooth meets gum, it's nice to be able to scour out plaque that's starting to grow there. It feels great once you get your gums built up and "in shape".You can adjust the pressure of the water to start off gentle and work your way up to higher power as your gums become more healthy. As with other similar units, the water temperature also affects the pressure. Warm water comes out more gently than cold water. There is obviously some sort of plastic or elastomer part(s) in the pump, or maybe the tube, that creates more pressure when it's cold and rigid and less pressure when it's warm and more flexible. So you can vary the pressure that way, too.I'm not sure what else to say. It's a water jet gum cleaner, and it works as well as any I've tested. The tank holds plenty of water and the reliability has been as good as any others I've used. Not perfect, but then none of them seem to last all that long.

This is my first water jet type product, so I cannot compare to other models. This review is of my opinion of this as it is, and not how it compares.Easy to put together and use. I like the little drawer to store the different heads in. The reservoir holds plenty of water, and you can add mouthwash or antibiotic solution if desired or needed. The amount of water coming out is adjusted with a dial, and I find that the pressure and amount is just right - I don't want something that's very high pressure as I don't want to injure my gums, so this works perfectly for me. The different heads that are included very useful, and I am able to clean under the gum line, on my tongue, massage the gums, and brush my teeth, all with the option to use the sonic function.I did find a couple of things I didn't like. When you hit the power button to start the water jet, the motor is very loud. I was very surprised by this, and I'm disappointed that I won't be able to use the system in the morning while others in the house are still asleep. Also, I found that if the reservoir is not perfectly placed, it will leak water from the bottom. If the hand piece is set down on the counter, water will also seep out of that. In order to prevent leakage, I just empty the reservoir when I'm done and keep it (and my counter) nice and dry.Overall, I like this system for the price. I'm sure there are nicer ones out there, but if you're looking for a simple, yet functional, water jet, this is for you! After using it for the first time tonight, my mouth feels SO clean! I'll have to continue using my regular toothbrush in the mornings because of the noise, but this will be my go-to before bedtime every night!

Un producto sanitario que viene con la caja abierta y los plásticos de seguridad de los recambios abiertos es un riesgo para la salud. No volveré a comprar productos sanitarios en Amazon. Además venía con enchufe inglés y para 110V.

水をためるタンクと本体の接続が乗せるのみであり、固定がしっかりしていないため、空きの状態では不安定でよく水タンク落とします。よって３つ星です。

good

以前から使っててタイプの方が水圧がずっと強くて､この品は､物足りない。
