Abstract

An oral irrigator includes a flexible inlet water tube that may be passed through a magnet assembly to treat the water as it passes through the tube. The magnet assembly may include a number of discs including a magnetic material which are separated by spacers of a non-magnetic material such as a plastic. The magnets and separators may have an aperture in the center to accommodate the inlet water tube. The oral irrigator may include a tip that provides a thread-like stream of water. The pressure of this stream may be due in part to the internal structure of the irrigator tip in which the diameter of an internal water channel gradual narrows until it reaches and is ejected from an orifice at a distal end of the tip. The oral irrigator may receive water from a water tank or a direct connection to a house water supply.
