Nasal irrigation.

Bought a knock, copy of the Navage unit a few months back and wonder what the hooplah is all about now. It does actually kinda make my sinuses feel better, but not what I'd expected, maybe should say hoped for. The set up, clean up post usage is a royal pain in the a$$, it makes me feel like my eardrums are going to burst when using, and the recovery of the water/saline solution is ineffective to say the least. The other thing I learned is you need to flush it after use to get the remaining water in the pump evacuated. I do use the recommended distilled water but wondering if the thing will get polluted over time like those coffee makers do.

I do it over the sink so the recovery issue I can tolerate, but the pressure it puts on my ears does not seem like a good thing.

Do any of you folks use one of these things? Are my experience standard procedure?
