Hi, jann! No, the device I use costs at most $20, and refill foil packs that seem to last quite awhile cost $11. Here's the link below for anyone that's interested in possibly using it:

I won't ever go back to not doing it again. The warm water feels good and clears my head out so I can breathe better!
> >Hi, Starwatcher: Amazing--we're ALL irrigating!!! Is the device you describe expensive? Once you have the Water Pic and the special tip, the cost is minimal for supplies in the process I use.

It comes with pre-mixed and pre-measured small foil packs of a baking soda and saline solution. You put it into the bottle and add either warm or cool water - the choice is yours - and squirt it up your nostrils, and it rinses them out. I do it in the shower or over the sink. It's really good if you've been somewhere dusty or dirty. Also good for easing sinus headaches!
