Adjustable Water Pressure

Water pressure settings let you control the force of the water spray produced by the water flosser. If you are new to water flossing, start at the lowest pressure setting, then increase over time to your preferred level. Cordless water flossers include 2 or 3 pressure settings from 45–75 PSI.

Water Reservoir

Cordless water flosser reservoirs hold up to 210 ml and flossing time per full reservoir varies based on the pressure setting. General guidelines are:

  • 150 ml = 30+ seconds of flossing time
  • 210 ml = 45+ seconds of flossing time

You can refill the reservoir to extend flossing time. If any liquid remains in the reservoir when you are finished water flossing, empty the liquid into the sink and allow it to dry.

You can also add a small amount of mouthwash to the water in the reservoir. (Do not exceed a 1:1 ratio of water to mouthwash). Rinse the unit afterwards by partially filling the reservoir with plain warm water and running it with the tip pointed into the sink.
