FEATURES

Size and Design

A very important factor that comes into consideration when purchasing an oral irrigator is the size and design of the device. The Waterpik Aquarius WP-660 has a compact and modern design that sits conveniently and stylishly on your bathroom sink.

The water on/off switch is directly on the handle for ease of use and the handle's cord is easily stowed away in a circular opening at the base of the device so that it does not take up extra space or get messy. Tip storage is included in the unit.

The reservoir capacity is 90 seconds plus at the highest pressure, which should be enough time to complete the job without having to refill the tank.

Another design feature to note on the Waterpik Aquarius is the LED panel that displays regular floss mode and massage mode. Massage mode provides enhanced gum stimulation and improved circulation.
