WaterPik Broken Hose Replacement Kit & Fix

[@robpenney125]

Very clear description of the repair process. I was just about to drop $60+ on a while new machine, so really glad I found this.

[@LuBradley-gz6vv]

Good advice! I am going to try this fix for my WP900. Hose just broke one day and I was all set to replace until I saw this video. Much cheaper than a new Waterpik. Thanks.

[@SteveCrooksScratch]

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for taking time to make the video and for the links.

[@frelnc]

Excellent video. Helped me decide just what road to take when replacing the wand. Thanks!!

[@436rox]

Thank you for the very clear and easy process for the replacement of my Waterpik handle. It works like new!

[@ChefLippe]

Andrew, I was going to try and repair it myself until I saw your video. Much easier. thank you.

[@MITSCHLAG]

Thanks for the info about the reed valve/gasket. That was a big help. My kit is on order from Water Pik. Total price, including shipping = $12.94. My Water Pik failure was unusual in that the pic itself sheared off inside the handle, and I could not get it out even with various slim tools like dental picks.

[@dennydeckerful]

Exactly what I needed to know was about the filter, thanks.

[@iliketoshare7092]

Thanks. This is the 2nd waterpik I have that has broken on the same spot on the hose. I fixed this one! Thanks!

[@ericabradford5822]

Thank you. I love my water pic and had a broken hose. Gonna fix it now.

[@sp2435]

Thank you! You saved me money & frustration.

[@rondudash8516]

Nicely done!!! Thank-you very much! 5 star performance.

[@locutus0985]

Is there anything one can do to make the hose last longer? Mine is tearing very near the handle. It breaks because it's too stiff.

[@sheilaworth2808]

Thanks to you, I fixed my waterpik!!!

[@5150mrdb]

Does the replacement hose kit include a new reed valve/gasket?

[@tedlu008]

Part no longer available at Amazon:(

[@rightman1347]

Dear Andrew, many thanks for your tips. If you look at the gasket closely you see a difference between two sides. I think the way you put gasket on each side may make a difference as it seems to me that it works like a one way valve. I will be happy to know your opinion.

[@shouldwork]

what direction did you end up pointing the side with the bump?

[@rightman1347]

@@shouldwork Sorry i totally forgot. it was more than 5 years ago that i fixed my waterpik

[@Dkokay]

Thanks, that was super helpful🙂

[@toronegro547]

Andrew, Good job. I bought the hose because mine leaks from the fitting where you put in the tips. My unit also seems to leak from the reservoir where it attaches to the body. Should I replace the reservoir as well?

[@AndrewDIY]

Alex Washington I'm sure it's just the o-ring on the reservoir. They're fairly inexpensive. Although I don't know if they sell a specific "waterpick reservoir o-ring" you might have to measure it and find a matching size.

[@SantisandKisin]

Its sold cheap on ebay now. When i spoke to the co a few months ago, they never told me about this part, they told me to buy a new machine.

[@gekcogaming5701]

Ever had issues with mold growing in the handle?

[@zoekoumoullos3020]

You can clean it by running a 50% dilution of water and house hold bleach. Run through 4 times a full reservoir of just water to rinse out the cleaning solution.

[@laurenyamashita8983]

MSRP is US$8.95. Shipping within US is $3.95. Shipping to Canada is US$6.95 + HST on everything. Amazon.ca price is CAD$19.98 which is cheaper than ordering from Waterpik when US exchange rate is considered. Also, Amazon Prime members get free 2-day shipping.

[@tmdeeeee]

Big thank you to ya!

[@andrealauriesb]

Super helpful!

[@nicmart]

Something wrong with a product that has such a weak link.

[@keaco73]

Thanks!

[@ithacacomments4811]

Today, May 2019...this part is $16. when I went to the Waterpik site for a price.

[@beverlycrusher9713]

if you have a wp-60 or a wp-72 you will need to do MUCH more than that to replace the hose.

[@morginejurdan575]

The link did not work. However here is a new one store.waterpik.com/wp-100-handle-assembly-kit Thanks so much!

[@studiocelestedesign]

I imagine it's important to remove the hose to soak it in vinegar on a weekly basis, otherwise you'll be blasting your gums with mold! Doesn't look that simple to put back on due to the gasket... seems like a silly (but crucial) feature that Waterpik overlooked. Thx for the vid!

[@AndrewDIY]

I always add mouthwash to the tank when I use it. Solves 2 problems in 1!

[@studiocelestedesign]

@@AndrewDIY That's a good idea. I'm about to pick one up today and so I'll see how we go! I'll be peering into the hose (if at all possible) though from time to time to make sure it's super clean. Thx Andrew!

[@lynndouds4458]

so I just replaced my hose and it still leaks like crazy. I put gasket in. Does it have to be in an exact position to make it not leak like it’s broken?

[@eumesmo-kd1tr]

Thanks

[@kbuss10]

absolute disgrace. the most expensive waterflosser in the world and the hose is constantly braking. i have the second on now from a family member whre the unit itself broke and i put the full hose unit on mine. it lasted like 2 months and broke catastrofically, in line, like a birch tree. also the head is now sealed shut, very hard to take apart wo extensive damage. also the previous one i cleaned with mildest (lemon acid) cleaner which is for delicate cuttlery and the tube became even more brittle like some old plastic out in the sun for 10+ years. how these ppl can keep their market position for so long is a testament itself for how fd up the EU market is. the pump itself its is nothing special either just oversized compared to other units. before i saw the disassembly videos i thought it has some kind of sealed industrial type pump, but nothing like that its just oversized in house unit

[@MrSASH1505]

And whaaaat??? You show how to turn two screws, it's for kids))) I thought you fix two parts of the hose by gluе оr by heat shrinkage for example. It's easy to buy a new handle.
