Product Reviews of Grossan Hydro PulseŽ Pulsatile Nasal & Sinus Irrigation System
Product Review: Lacks Longevity
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a convert to the idea of nasal irrigation, having previously used a waterpik with a nasal adapter for several years. There is no question that nasal irrigation can alleviate sinus problems. I decided to try the Grossan Nasal Irrigation System and found the pulsation an improvement over the waterpik. The Grossan provides more control over the strength of the stream of water. HOWEVER, my Grossan began to link around the 8th month of use and completely failed 29 days after the one year warranty. Considering that the Grossan is close to $100, I can't recommend it. It is too expensive when it fails in so short a time. Another reviewer mentioned that he had gone through two Grossans in a relatively short period of time. I took the Grossan apart after it failed to see if there was any way I could fix it. The motor is not well protected from any water seepage which suggests to me that once it begins to leak through the bottom, its days are limited.Product Review: Life Changing Device
Summary: 4 Stars
After 2 surgeries and more drugs than Kieth Richards ever thought about taking, I settled back and decided there was no hope for my chronic sinus infection.
Then I found this and in two weeks felt better than I had in more years than I could remember.
The idea is brilliant, this piece of hardware, not so much. After two in one year, I went to WM and bought the cheapest water pick they had. Works just as well as far as I can tell.
Product Review: My sinuses are thanking me
Summary: 5 Stars
It all started with Oprah and Dr. Oz. I've been plagued with sinus issues all my life .. Dealing it with medication. Then about a month ago, bought a Neti Pot .. Well .. It was messy and didn't quite create a good seal with my nostril .. so, I upgraded to the stainless steel Neti Pot .. Much better, but It would only trickle out my left nostril, so I would be there for 10 minutes Neti Potting. I was searching for something else and it led me the the Grossan's Hydro Pulse .. Just came 3 days ago. I'm very pleased .. I've read other comments on Amazon, where people thought it was made cheaply and it leaked. I have not, nor do I have those concerns. I believe the unit is nicely manufactured and it's a pleasure to use (with no mess). I use only distilled water (There is a warning that using Hard water would void the warranty) and I run through a cycle of fresh water once I'm finished (There is a warning that long term salt exposure would void the warranty). I doubt I would order their saline powder .. A lot cheaper just using a no additive salt .. 1 tsp for the 500ml tank .. which I use per session.Product Review: My sinuses couldn't care less about longevity

Yes, yes, it's all true. The Grossan is a miracle worker for your sinuses. I am a Grossan Evangelist and have converted two friends. It's also true that it is cheaply made. But c'mon people, who cares? Really? You rate this low because it doesn't last long? You act like you are reviewing a DVD player here. This is your life. This is your health. I just had septoplasty with turbinate reduction this week. Well, my crap luck that my Grossan died a couple months back (after 1+ years of regular.... very regular use). I didn't bother to replace it and I got sent home from surgery with that cheap little bottle to flush my sinuses. A mess. It's too small and it's to easy to over-pressurize your sinuses. Anyway, I am online at Amazon today to order a new one. I just ordered it and for probably the second time in my life I ordered something "Over night". It cost $16 extra bones. I am not rich, but I am not going to suffer 5-8 days without my grossan. Get over the longevity issue people. Life is too short to suffer.Product Review: Not Designed for Heavy Use, Rinse with Distilled Water
Summary: 2 Stars
Sinus irrigation like this unit provides greatly relieved my sinus problems, but after handling this expensive unit with tender care for a few years, and with use of only once every 1-3 weeks for minor sinus allergies, it has had episodes where the pump stopped working. A good final rinse before storage with purified water may extend life of pump. I would think twice before I buy another at $97, will try low tech Nasaline syringe irrigation.
