First Included: How to Build a Soocas Irrigator and Get Ready

Take your time to fill the water and turn on the appliance. First, check the kit.

• 🔋 The main irrigator unit
• 💧 Water tank (sometimes separate)
• 🔌 Network adapter (models) H3 and W3 — USB-Type-C cable)
• 🔄 Nozzles (their number depends on the model)
• 📄 Instructions (often in Chinese - don't be afraid, we'll take everything in Russian)

Now, watch the order of action:

1. Install the tank. On models. W3 and X3 Pro, it's magnetized -- just fit the grooves together. H3 The tank is screwed (do not drag it over!).
2. Connect the power. Soocas irrigators are only powered by the grid (no batteries!) Use the original adapter, because cheap analogues can burn the board.
3. Rinse the system. Pour in warm water (not boiling water!), turn it on at minimum pressure and let it work for 1-2 minutes, which will remove the factory lubricant from the tubes.

⚠️ Warning: If the water is rinsed with air bubbles, that's normal for the first 2-3 uses, but if the bubbles don't disappear after a week, check the tightness of the tank joint.

Soocas nozzles: what to use (and how not to break)

The mistake of 80 percent of newcomers is to use a standard nozzle for everything, and in fact, everyone has a different purpose.

🔹 How to install a nozzle:

1. Press the lock button on the irrigator handle.
2. Insert the nozzle before clicking (do not use force!).
3. Check that the indicator ring fits tightly to the base.

⚠️ Warning: Never use cracked or deformed ring nozzles! this can cause water to leak inside the case and the irrigator to break.

💡

Store the nozzles in the original case or UV sterilizer (if included), if you put them in a shared bathroom, the plastic will quickly show a black coating from moisture.

Working Modes: What Pressure to Choose for Your Teeth

Soocas models offer 3 to 10 pressure modes. Here's how to make sure you choose:

• 🦷 "Soft (20-50 kPa) for children, for people with bleeding gums or after dental surgery, the pressure is comparable to a shower for babies.
• 🌊 "Normal" (70-100 kPa) "Universal mode for daily care, suitable for 70% of users.
• 💪 "Intensive (120-150 kPa) To remove plaque or clean braces. Do not use more than 1 minute in a row!
• 🔄 "Pulse" (not available on all models) simulates professional dental cleaning, activates with Mode 3 seconds hold.

📌 How to know if the pressure is too high?

• The gums begin to bleed during the procedure.
• There is pain or discomfort in the roots of the teeth.
• The water is splashed outside the sink (meaning you involuntarily push the irrigator away).

If you have one of the items, reduce your pressure by 20-30 kPa, ideal: water comfortably washes your teeth, but does not cause pain.

Step-by-step: how to properly brush your teeth with an irrigator

Now, to the most important thing, the use technique, follow this algorithm.

1. Preparation. Brush your teeth with a floss, and the irrigator doesn't replace them, it complements them.
2. Select the nozzle and pressure mode (start with "Normal").
3. Pose. Bend over the sink 45 to 60 degrees. Keep your mouth shut! Water should flow out freely.
4. Technique. Start with your back teeth, move along the gum line. Keep the nozzle at a 60-90 angle.° Hold on to each tooth for 2-3 seconds. Don't press the nozzle on the gums!

Caring for the irrigator: how to extend the life of the device

Soocas irrigation will last for years if you follow these rules:

• 💧 After each use: Pour the remaining water out of the tank. Wash the nozzle under running water. Wash the case with a dry cloth (moisture spoils electronics!).
• 🧼 1 time per week: Pour vinegar solution (1:1 with water) into the tank and turn on for 1 minute to disinfect the tubes. Clean the nozzles with a toothbrush with soap.
• 🚫 What not to do: Use boiling water, deforms plastic, store in the bathroom without a cover (due to moisture), drop or hit the body (especially models with a display).

⚠️ Warning: If there is a black coating or an unpleasant smell in the tank, it is a sign of mold.Rinse the system immediately with a solution of hydrogen peroxide (3% solution, 1: 1 with water) and dry for 24 hours.

💡

For models with UV sterilizer (W3, X3 Pro: Turn it on after every cleaning. It kills 99% of the bacteria on the nozzles in 3 minutes.

Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Even experienced users sometimes miss. Here's the top-5 errors and their consequences:

1. Using dirty water. If you pour water from the tap without a filter, the inside of the tank will produce lime plaque, it clogs the tubes and reduces the pressure. Solution: use boiled or filtered water.
2. Storage with water in a tank, which leads to bacteria multiplying and corrosion of metal parts. Always drain the water after use!
3. Directing the jet directly into the gums, so you can injure the soft tissues and cause bleeding, and the jet should go along the gum line, but not in the gum line.
4. Ignoring replacement nozzles: Over time, microcracks appear on the plastic, where bacteria accumulate, and you need to change nozzles every 3-6 months (see the table above).
5. Use without brushing, the irrigator doesn't remove plaque by itself, it washes out the plaque, and if you don't brush your teeth, the efficiency drops by 40 percent.

🔧 If the irrigator stops working:

• Check if the tank is tightly closed (on models) H3 and W3 Often the protection against leaks is effective).
• Make sure the nozzle is installed before clicking.
• If it doesn’t turn on, check the power supply (try another one). USB-cable).
