Dead Waterpik

#1 Post by Nikkiekoala »

I had my waterpik for 3 1/2 months and it died last night :? I've been reading that others have experienced the same thing with their waterpiks. I have been also reading that others here have been using the Interplak by Conair so I went out and bought one today. Those who have the Interplak please tell me it is going strong. Is it?????

I have a interplak, I just got it Monday when I got braced, my ortho recommends it and sells it for about half price (20.00) through their office. I know i have only had it a few days, but it seems stong so far, and it must be pretty good if my ortho sells them. Good luck with yours, i love mine so far....

I tried out my new Interplak last night. I have to say I prefer the Waterpik. It has a stronger stream and pulsates more. I use Colgates mouth rinse (the blue one that leaves blue stuff on your braces) after I rinse I use my waterpik to remove the blue stuff that is stuck. The waterpik removes all the stuff just fine but the Interplak did not :cry: . Not to mention the water resevoire is too small so I have to refill to finish. I just may go ahead and exchange my broken waterpik and get a new one. I have contacted waterpik about it so we will see.

I have had my Interplak for about a month and it is still going strong. My dad always had a Waterpik though. He had to replace them throughout the years but he always stuck to that brand I do think he had to replace them that often. I just went w/interplak because it got great reviews on epinions amd Waterpik did not. I do have to have it turned up to 7 though :?

I have an interplak, and though it didn't die, it suddenly lost ALOT of it's power, so a 7 now pulsates like a 3 or 4. I am going to get a Waterpik!!

My water pik is getting sent in, the handle just split and it leaks. Had it for about 3 months.

I have an Interplak which I've had a few weeks now with no problems. I hope things stay that way for the next 2 years at least!

Mine died after about 9. The warranty should be two years. Go to there website and send an email to their warranty department. They shoud be able to help you.

My Waterpik Cordless died this morning. I have had it 6 months. I just called Waterpik customer service and they are sending me a new one...immediately. I don't even have to send back the old one.
