How to choose a portable irrigator?
It is not difficult to choose the model that is optimal in terms of price and quality if you correlate your needs with the characteristics of the device.
Nozzles. All portable irrigators come with 1 or more standard nozzles. Some may have tips for the tongue, gums, orthodontic constructions. Here to each according to his needs. You should not overpay, for example, for an orthodontic nozzle if you do not plan to put braces.
Pressure intensity. The pressure of the jet and the frequency of the pulsation will give an idea of the intensity with which the device supplies water. 520-550 kPa is enough for effective and comfortable cleaning, and for pulsation, the optimal rate is 1200 pulses per minute. Each appliance has a pressure adjustment so that you can make cleaning delicate or increase its effectiveness.
Reservoir capacity. The larger the tank, the more likely it is that you won't have to refill it during your session. Much depends on the intensity of the jet. But portable irrigators are often bought because of their compactness and autonomy, so that they can easily fit in a bag, backpack or pocket. It's not up to liter tanks.
autonomy time. Charge the device after 1-5 procedures or remember to charge once a month - depending on the capacity of the battery, you can go on holiday "light" or carry a charger with you even on short trips. But if you rarely go out, it may not be worth paying extra for an expensive high-capacity battery.
