Question 1

how do you get water supply?

Accepted Answer

Seriously ... Any device that requires refilling with water — a Water Pik, clothes steamer, CPAP, etc. — it is best to use distilled water. A gallon jug runs about 80-90 cents at most superstores. $1.20/gal is at the boundary of price gouging.

Question 2

Why this huge unattractive setup over a smaller cordless option?

Accepted Answer

I have used both the cordless versions and this one, and much prefer this flosser over the cordless for a number of reason.
  1- Cordless versions need to recharged often and can be charged a limited amount of times before the batteries wear out and are no longer useable. This one plugs in, so no battery problems.
  2 - Cordless versions generally have 4 or so power modes for water pressure and speed. This unit has 10 modes to select from.
 3 - Cordless versions have all controls on the handle you hold, i.e. pressure, speed, on/off. The unit has to be on to select pressure or speed. So, you have to make sure it is pointed at the sink to turn it on and select the mode. Although most will hold the selected mode when you turn it off, all controls are on the handle you hold to use it. Once it is in your mouth, you can't see the on/off button, and the mode changes if you accidentally touch a mode button on the handle while using it.  With this WaterPik unit, the on/off button is on the main unit and so is pressure selection.  The wand you hold when you use it, has an on/off slide button. So, you can turn on the base and set the pressure before you put the tip in your mouth and turn on the water when you are ready. 
 4 - Cordless versions have a very small water reservoir that usually has to be refilled more than once. The WaterPik has a tank large enough to do all you want to do with one fill.
 5 - Cordless versions have a small opening to fill the reservoir with water. When you are done, there is no way to clean or dry it. The reservoir on the WaterPik is totally open so you can easily clean and dry it.

To sum it up, this flosser is easier to use, easier to clean, and will last much longer than a cordless version.

Question 3

So does this replace floss completely?

Accepted Answer

This definitely replaces flossing. It gets into places that can't be reached with floss and also does a good job on the gums to prevent pockets behind the gums. If you already have pockets, it will keep them clean and help to reduce them.

Question 4

How much space does the base need by the sink to operate?

Accepted Answer

The power cord and the water pik tube is long enough since you don't need to stretch it much further past the sink. You'll need to be over the sink to let all the water out of your mouth. The base itself is slightly wider than a large bottle of mouthwash.
