NOTE: NOT ALL TIPS INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS.
TIP USAGE
Pik Pocket™ Tip
The Pik Pocket
™
tip is specifically designed to deliver water or anti-bacterial
solutions deep into periodontal pockets.
To use the Pik Pocket
™
tip, set the unit to the lowest pressure setting.
Place the soft tip against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the tip
under the gumline, into the pocket.
Tongue Cleaner Tip
Set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue
about half way back. Pull forward with light pressure. Increase pressure as you
prefer.
Orthodontic Tip
To use the orthodontic tip, gently glide tip along gumline, pausing briefly to
lightly brush area between teeth and all around orthodontic bracket, before
proceeding to the next tooth.
Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip in mouth with the brush head on the tooth at the
gumline. The toothbrush tip can be used with or without toothpaste.
Using a light pressure (bristles should not bend) massage the brush back
and forth with very short strokes – much like you would with a
manual toothbrush.
Plaque Seeker
®
Tip
To use the Plaque Seeker
®
tip, place the tip close to the teeth so that the bristles
are gently touching the teeth. Gently glide tip along gumline, pausing briefly
between teeth to gently brush and allow the water to flow between the teeth.

Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions
Your Waterpik®Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and
antibacterial solutions. After using any special solution, rinse unit to
prevent clogging by partially filling reservoir with warm water and running
unit with tip pointed into sink until unit is empty.
Cleaning
Never immerse unit in water. Clean the product when necessary by using a
soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser to wipe exterior.
The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack
dishwasher safe. It is recommended that the reservoir is removed and
cleaned weekly.
Removing Hard Water Deposits / General Cleaning
Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral
content of your water. If left unattended, it can hinder performance.
Cleaning internal parts: add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a full
reservoir of warm water. Point the handle and tip into sink. Turn unit ON and
run until reservoir is empty. Rinse by repeating with a full reservoir of clean
warm water.
This process should be done every 1 to 3 months to ensure optimal
performance.
