Einleitung
The WaterPik water flosser is a widely used and popular device for dental hygeine. It is a very simple and straightforward tool used for oral hygiene. Unlike the conventional method of flossing using dental floss the WaterPik uses pressurized water to clean between your teeth and the rest of your mouth. The device relies on a pump to move the water to the handheld wand that is used by the user to clean their mouth. Over time the seals on the pump can begin to degrade and cause leaks between the pieces of the machine. This guide walks through the o-ring replacement from start to finish by explaining the various steps and possible problems along the way and thus ensuring a sucessful repair.
