From reading some recent (and not so recent) posts I have made the
discovery that I am guilty of not fully reading the instruction manual
that accompanied the Hydropulse.  I have been using for months now and
have never cleaned it.  I remember reading a post sometime ago about
cleaning but i thought that it pertained to when it was left standing.  i
use mine every day, several times a day and also neti pot.

Before last night I had never cleaned it.  Over night last night I poured
hydrogen pyroxide in the cylindar about 1/3 the way up, swished it around,
turned it on feeding it back into the cylinder for a minute and then let it
sit overnight.

Also i use tap water and not distilled or boiled water.

Also I use table salt ONLY.  and occasionally some hydrogen pyroxide and
recently Alkolol - but these in the NETI only.  

Is my hydropulse potentially shot after going so liong without cleaning?

does anyone else just use warm tap water and salt when irrigating?

thanks
