Excellent product
This thing really works! I normally have trouble getting my head clear when I get up in the morning. After using this it really clears out the sinuses making for a much more comfortable day. It only takes about 5 minutes, once you get the hang of it, which includes warming the water, adding the salt, using the system and cleaning out the receptacles. Highly recommended.

Not exactly!
I was looking for a cheaper replacement for my navage and I thought I had found it but not exactly. It doesnât pull out like the navage and the temperature cup to mix is extra and feels unnecessary. I really wanted to like this but after use I still had a lot of liquid left in My nose and I have a lot of parts to store also. I like the fact you can use salt packets instead of the pods and the way itâs shaped and the two different speeds. But this wasnât exactly what I was looking for.

Relieves chronic nasal congestion
Iâd like to share my experience with the Nascool Electric Nasal Irrigation System, which I purchased in early August 2024 on the recommendation of my physician to help relieve chronic nasal congestion. I’m pleased to report that the device has surpassed my expectations, though there were a few surprises along the way. In essence, this system functions as a nasal “colonic.”BACKGROUNDAbout the same time, I also purchased a digital gram scale, enabling me to accurately calculate saline solutions (and satisfy my bean-counter inclinations).To track my experience with this device I created a spreadsheet in Appleâs Numbers application. Columns of the spreadsheet are titled as: Date; Isotonic / Hypertonic; g of NaCl; ml distilled H20; % Saline; Comments. A few formulae provide, for example:* â% salineâ (C3Ã·D3)Ã100, where C3 = grams of NaCl; D3 = ml of distilled H20* âIsotonic/Hypertonicâ IF(E13>0.9, “Hypertonic”, “Isotonicâ), where E3 = % Saline(Windoze users may be able to adapt these formulae in Excel.)EXPERIENCEMy experience with the Nascool Electric Nasal Irrigation System evolved as I became accustomed to the device through usage. Each of the following are my comments, representing a separate occasion of using the device, spread over six weeks from late August:* Challenging the first time [0.9% saline]* 1.9% saline solution no big deal; definite (refreshing) improvement [1.895% saline]* Pronounced improvement: long-lasting âafter-tasteâ diminished; easier process this time [1.99% saline]* Still challenging [3.0% saline]* <30 min start to end; 500 ml in one direction L to R [3.0% saline]* Easier; pushed tongue against upper rear palate. 2nd intake, container was filled slightly higher than max line. [2.016% saline]* Pushed tongue-rear palate too much; pressure built, ears popped @ eustachian. 250ml of the 500m prepared was saved for next time. (Experienced a brief âouchâ moment in left ear. Both ears popped. Only ran about 240ml through this time, but saved remaining solution in provided plastic jar.) [2.6% saline]* Used 240ml from last time. No issues. Had slight sensation of pressure in left ear, just prior to irrigation. [2.6% saline]* 2 cycles, L to R nostrils. For 1st time since using this machine, reduced pressure somewhat at back of throat. In both cycles, briefly stopped mid-way to relieve slight pressure build-up. <âthatâs the key; stop-and-go to the end. No issues. 2.6% is the ideal solution. [2.6% saline]* Followed procedure as above. Experimented with 2.7% solution. Relatively easy 1st cycle; 2nd required brief mid-point stops for pressure release. But 2.6% solution is better. [2.7% saline]CLEAN-UPBefore using the Nascool Electric Nasal Irrigation System for the first time, I thoroughly disinfected, cleaned, and rinsed the device, using hydrogen peroxide 3% and distilled water. Flushing 500ml of hydrogen peroxide through the device produced a fine silt the first time; subsequent flushes and rinses were 100% clear.After each use, I still flush 200~300ml of hydrogen peroxide through the device, and disinfect and rinse the small parts separately. The parts are laid out on a paper towel to air dry on a tray in a large enclosed space.CONCLUSIONWhile I hold no expectation that the System will cure my nasal maladies, it truly does offer me considerable reliefâif temporaryâuntil the need for a refresh arises. In my case, that works out to be about every 10 days. This device is a huge improvement over traditional âneti potâ sinus rinses.The digital scale made it possible for me to tweak the ideal ratio of grams of non-iodized salt (NaCl) to ml of distilled water.When I bought the system, I also purchased 100 packets of Nascool Nasal Rinse Salt. This should provide enough for about 16 irrigation sessions. Each session involves two cycles, each using 220ml of warmed distilled water. For each session, I start by mixing 440ml of distilled water with 11.4 grams of salt to create a 2.6% saline solution, then divide the mixture into two cups of 220ml each. It may be possible to buy larger quantities of non-iodized salt for a significant reduction in price.Thanks to information at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the American Academy of Otolaryngology, I will consider adding sodium bicarbonate (NaHCOâ) to the saline solution to improve the nasal-irrigation experience:* NaHCOâ may act as a buffer, making the solution feel softer* improved pH balance could create a gentler irrigation* NaHCOâ could help thin out mucus* possible antimicrobial propertiesBOTTOM LINEFor me, the Nascool Electric Nasal Irrigation System is a game changer. When I travel in the near future, I will purchase a second System for use at other long-term stays.* * * * *REFERENCESAmerican Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. (n.d.).

Better than navage!
Initially I had a navage unit for approximately 4 years. When I went to go replace it I noticed this unit. I figured because it was half the price that I would give it a try. It actually performs better than navage. The setup is easier, The rate of flow of the water when you’re using it is faster literally a nasal rinse takes 10 seconds. There are two different rates of water flow/speed a slow and a fast. It literally comes with everything you need and very explicit directions. There are two different sets of nose pillows for perfect customization. What sets this apart from navage is the self cleaning aspect. It is so simple You literally attach the included self-cleaning peace to the top of the unit where the nose pillows go fill it with water and press start and it’s clean! This unit far exceeded my expectations and will be what I will be using in future.

Great Nasal Cleaner
I bought Narcoal battery operation nasal cleaner. This brand was the most reasonable priced nasal cleaner available. It works great. I have been using Afrin to keep my nasal passages open. When I received my Narcoal nasal machine, I immediately tried it out with one saline packets of the 50 packets received. That was 3 days ago and my nasal passages are still wide open, no more Afrin needed. I highly recommend this product since it works so good. No more chronic nasal stuffiness. I love it.

It works
ProThis unit does as advertised. I had always known about netti pots, bus was warry about how to keep them sanitary. Plus, a netti pot pot only works with gravity. This machine has two setting, making it adaptable to your sinus condition. This machine has been a godsend for me, and I would recommend anyone considering it, to buy this Nascool system.ConIf there is any issue with this system, it is the thermometer strip. It doesn’t work. Also, providing a source for the salt packets would be appreciated.

No pressure
I returned this item. It had no water pressure at all, literally more pressure from my Neti pot. There is a self cleaning adapter for the unit and it couldnât even push water through that. I got a message from the seller asking me to try different things, make sure the tanks are in correctly, check the battery, check and clean the filter on the pickup tube, but nothing worked. I felt the message was a little condescending. Iâve rebuilt my motorcycle on the side of a highway, I think I can fill a smaller water tank and push a button, when the water barely flows out of the nozzle, itâs not the user. I tried it for over 5 minutes on both the low and high settings and there was barely any water flow.
