The Reservoir models have a power scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is very strong stream. Does this model have a scale knob? how powerful is it?

The model I bought does not have a reservoir. It is attached to the faucet.

The power of the stream will depend on how much you have your faucet turned on.

The Oral Breeze is a direct connection to your faucet. The irrigation stream is as strong as you turn on the taps. I like the Oral Breeze irrigator because I am able to set the temperature and the water pressure. We own a Water Pik brand reservoir irrigator and because it is being pumped, is not a nice, even stream. I like the Oral Breeze far better. Hope this helps!

Hi, Michelle. This particular machine has a reservoir. It's available in a plumbed model as well... but not this one.

The descriptions are confusing and at first do look identical, but they aren't. The Power model has four PROGRAM SETTINGS for general, crowds, nature and power boost, depending on the environment you find yourself in; that latter one is quite loud even for me, and I can usually stay on the general setting. So as you go from home to church or a theater and then to a walk in the park, you can press the button to change the program setting to match that environment. It does make a difference, but I haven't always found it helpful. The Pro model has four SOUND PROCESSING CHANNELS, which are not the same thing as programs, and you cannot change these "channels". I bought one of these when my Power model broke in less than three months, and the Pro model was sufficient in most situations, but I was anxious to get my Power model back. (It was repaired, but not replaced, under warranty.) It depends on the different environments you find yourself in whether you need the Power model or not.

I use an Aqueon 10 w. It isn't adjustable but has kept the water at 82. I unplugged it when the weather got warmer.

The amps drop from like 10 to 2.5!it's still going to be 1 1/2 hp,only at a slower speed (less gpm).80% of the time low speed is good.once in a while run it on high to mix water...shock,ect....

It was kind of funny after it was installed. My plumber/electrician (guy that installed it for me) and I were trying out RPM settings. I had it set at 1000 RPM and he asked "Is it running?" (could not hear it) and we both look over to the waterfall running and it's like "Duh!".

I have no idea, but I do know we're still developing scale and it continues to wreak havoc with the plumbing, so I'm considering going salt (don't want to), but I don't think Scalewatcher is doing as much as we need here. Our water is very hard.

My unit is marked model WP-100W/C. I rarely use it since the water stream is very weak compared to the normal one without the narrow tip.The water stream is very focused, however, and this may be of value for certain needs.

No, its got a pretty powerful stream but not that strong. You would be looking for something more along the lines of a power washer.

I am not sure. Mine is super-powerful, cleans VERY efficiently, and maintains a good water level.

sort of. if you turn the knob partway it dampens the flow. the range of control is limited but it works in a pinch. it's not meant to be used that way and i find it easier to shut it off when i don't need full flow and then flip it back on. btw...very happy with this shower fixture...you will need a squeegee to keep it looking good.

Not at all, but this means you might not be getting enough juice to the unit. You need a 200 Amp panel, two heavy cables (6/2 and 6/3) running from the unit to the electric panel. And you need to have 2 upgraded breakers at the panel. Also, if you have a lot of electrical usage at any one time (dishwasher running, A/C cranking, TV, and all the lights on), this may strain the system a bit for the short time that you use hot water. And, it also depends on the model that you bought and if that model accommodates the house size and family that you have. I have not had any issues with this unit so far. Then again I live in FL and I never need the water to be all that hot. I keep the temperature setting at 117 degrees and that seems just right. However, I do need to install a descaling system to prevent any scale buildup inside the unit, because FL water is hard water. All part of my master plan. ;O)

Greetings; As far as I could figure, the flow rate was NOT adjustable at all. Attaching the different little spray nozzles is really the only "adjustment" available on this unit. We enjoyed it and were very disappointed when it didn't even last the summer. Hope you have better luck if you purchase!!

Yes, it has a knob to adjust flow from off to Max flow and everything in between..

It does not need a pump. The knob is a valve, and it has a microswitch to control a pump, also. But it's rated to 87 psi per the product description, and will regulate and stop pressurized water, whether using a pump controlled by the knob, or some other source of pressurized water. I use a pump controlled by the switch, but it's obvious that the knob controls a valve, as flow is regulated just like any other faucet.

It does not regulate the flow, you can turn the water on/off with the knob. It is lower flow and conservs water. It is basic and works pretty well, good quality, needs replacement periodically.

I have this model. it has a float, runs only when the water reaches a level to turn on the pump. Also if wired to a furnace equiped for the shut off safty that, will not allow the furnace to start if the pump is not working properly to pump out the water in the reservoir.
