I've read everything and still cannot get the brush off and install a new brush. How do you change a brush head?

There is a tool that is required to pop it off using the small opening on the front of the brush head, just below the bristles.

The system I have works by pulling straight out on the end of the brush head. There may be different systems; some might require releasing in some manner prior to removal. I would suggest that you request information from the manufacturer. When submitting your request, you should include the name, model, serial number, and any other information you might find on the charging unit or brush body.

Yank it off. If that doesn't work, then something is wrong as it does not take much effort.

You just have to pull straight up on the head. The whole thing should come off all the way down to the colored ring. Sometimes they are hard to pull off because of dried up toothpaste and stuff inside....

Mine was a piece of junk. It came cracked where the brushes go so none of the brushes could be attached. Return it if you can.

I am not sure how you can get the replacement brushes..... I clean the brushes on mine everytime I'm done using it so I hope that will prolong the brushes to last longer. I bet a email to Shark will get you some answers.

I would ask the manufacturer about replacement brushes. I emailed with him about the brush when I bought it and found him very helpful.

Sorry, I have no idea. There is nothing in the manual that addresses changing to a 3 blade brush head. Perhaps, Sears might be able to help.

I believe the brush head has standard threading. You should be able to buy a replacement handle from any local hardware store.

The brush head replacements come with a tool I was lost until it arrived then it took 30 seconds to change out real simple line up the tool with the hole and apply pressure it releases upward and slides off.

Using a flat edge screw driver, I pushed on the plastic tabs at each end of the brush. I removed the old one and slipped in the new one. I used the screw driver because I did not have enough strength in my finger to push the tab over.

Yes. Just pull it off. It should be removed periodically to clean between the brush head and the power unit. Replacement brush heads can be purchased.

So far I have just used scissors to cut the hairs/threads and pull the globs off the brush but it looks like you can just unscrew the 6 screws on the bottom and take the plate off and pull the brush out to clean it better. Good luck.

This is my 3rd brush from them and I've never seen a way to program it in any way except the couple of cycles you can choose from...Sorry :-(

If you have tried the suggestions from others who responded to your question, I would contact the manufacturer. Be sure the brushhandle is fully charged and the brush is attached fully to the handle. They only last about 3 or 4 months before being replaced if you use the brush even once a day then gradually slow up in rotation. This is the signal to replace the brush.

I never did either until recently I order two blow dryers and both brushes fell off. I sent them back, my new ones are doing the same. Very disappointed!

Open the compartment where you are going to insert the batteries. On mine, on either side there are two squares that are revealed when you remove the battery cover. One of them has a "+" sign and the other has a "-" sign. If by chance yours does not have those markings on it, then with the brush head pointing down and to the left, the positive side of the AA battery faces up on the same side as the brush is facing. The other AA battery faces the other direction. I hope this helps.

Elian...it's very easy. The only tool you'll need is a #2 Phillips screwdriver. The handle assembly kit comes already assembled. You simply turn your Waterpik over, remove two screws, and pull the old handle/hose assembly out...then you put the new one in and replace the screws. That's it. Your kit will come with a small flexible piece of plastic which works as a valve for your device. You probably won't have to insert it...I'd put it in a baggie and keep it for use later just in case. So that's it...remove and replace two screws. If you're not sure what a #2 Phillips blade is, just grab the Phillips screwdriver that you have and if it fits the screw...that's the one you need.

Susan your post is perfect for the problem we are having with our new pony...however I have tried everything to unzip the head and nothing will undo the locked zipped. I've tried a screw driver and everything. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am so disappointed. This is the only thing daughter wants for christmas and at the price I had to pay we can't exactly just go buy another horse. Any advice anyone can give for getting the head off would be very helpful!!!! Thanks.

General maintenance is just pulling the hair out it. Washing it will limit the life of the brush, but if you can't stand it - Pull all the hair out of it sliding the end of a comb through the bristles. Suds up some shampoo on a wet wash cloth and gently rub through the bristles. Rinse all the suds off under running faucet and then towel dry it throughly and let the brush lay bristles down for about 24 hours until it's dry. Don't let the brush sit in water or submerge it in the sink.
