5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Waterpik Tips
- The pressure has suddenly dropped. These little babies has pores on them, with every use they open up and the pores turn into holes. Hence, the pressure is no longer as intense.
- Noticing some blackish dirt accumulating on your tip? Hard to remove or can’t be cleaned at all? Much like tartar. You don’t want that going inside your mouth, time to replace it!
- Did you break or crack your current tip? Don’t waste any more time, scroll below and find an appropriate tip for your waterpik water flosser.
- Does the water dribbles out instead of a strong, steady stream? Replacement is required.
- Between 3 – 6 months of use, depends on which tip it is. (Check at the end of each tip summary below for replacement time recommendation).

4. Waterpik Low Pressure Jet Replacement Tips (JT 360E) (2 in a pack)
These are low pressure Waterpik 360 replacement tips designed for use on the sensitive areas of your mouth such as when you have gum inflammation. They are also a best choice for children, as children normally frown upon the high pressure of the Water flosser. The low pressure will also help them get the tip as close as possible when cleaning without hurting their delicate gums.
These tips are kind of fragile, so if you go on and buy for kids, buy a couple more just to be on the safe side. They are also colored differently, but you may notice it on the image.
Note: These are LOW PRESSURE tips, so the stream will be very weak for most people. If you’re looking for high pressure tips for your Waterpik 360, get the first tips we featured on this list.

5. Periogen 90 Degree Tip for WaterPik Ultra WP100 (1 in a pack)
The 90 degree tip is not manufactured by Waterpik, even though they should have it on their arsenal of tips. Fortunately, Periogen (the company behind the making of this tip) decided to take a standard high pressure tip, bended it to form a full 90 degree angle.
This tip will come useful on places that are hard to reach with standard tips, like behind the rear molars and incisors.
Please note: This is not a replacement tip for your standard provided tips, but would make a great addition.
The 90 degree bend makes it easy to access hard to reach parts of the mouth. But that does not mean it doesn’t come with few disadvantages.
Because of the sharp bend, it will (or may)…
- Get clogged quicker than usual.
- Produce lower pressure than the standard high pressure jet tip.
- Disturb the flow of the stream.
- Need to be replaced more often than normal.
Despite that, you will find this tip as a big improvement compared to the 45 degree tip when it comes to reaching comers of your mouth. If you own the Periogen tartar removing cream (mentioned above), then you’ll find this tip useful when you need to apply it.

11. Waterpik Replacement Tongue Cleaners (2 in a Pack)
