Question 1

Is it feasible to rplace the tubing?

Accepted Answer

For this model, you can't replace the tubing. For the small base model Ultra you can buy tubing on the official Waterpik website for $20/with shipping or on Amazon for $12. I didn't find a tub replacement for this model anywhere. This means, that after two to three years tubing will brake, and its time to buy a new machine ( one person in his/her review already mentioned this fact)

Question 2

Can you turn the empty resevoir over on top of the unit to protect both from accumulating dirt dust and debris like the 20-30 year old ones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, But I find it is very important to keep it open to dry completely first
I usually invert the reservoir and prop it on the machine so it dries
I also hold the machine up when I’m done to drain water out of tubing, and remove tip after use. I would b more worried about mold if wet than dust

Question 3

does it work well with crowns?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I bought this to take care of my root canal+crown. My hygienist told me that my old flossing go to, Plackers, would eventually loosen the crown because of the pulling up motion. I hate using standard floss, so I got this. With how much the restoration cost, this device to make it last longer was well worth it.

Question 4

Does this waterpik classic professional water flosser ever get mold build up inside the pik as mentioned on the waterpik ultra water flosser? thanks

Accepted Answer

I had my old one for almost two years, I live in a humid climate where mold is usually a problem. I haven't had a problem with mold in this Waterpik. I do use it at night, leave the cover off over night for it to air dry, then replace the cover during the day to keep dust off of it. I also keep the outside clean, and once I'm done using it, I take off the tip, aim the handle down into the sink, and turn it on for a couple of seconds without the tank on, that pushes any left over water out of the tubing.
