Great job brother! I also appreciate the "real" video. I like when you can see the actual troubles with the process and not the sugar coated videos that miss on the teaching part. well done!
Lol, thank you. Glad it translated well for you. Videos are not my cup of tea, was particularly annoyed with the pods though which forced my retaliation.
Just an FYI, the two small holes behind the nose piece are where you can push a large paper clip or wire to depress the tabs to disassemble it without potentially braking those off. 👍 Thanks for the video, I new this would be doable but you made it a quick deal.
Thanks so much! I would just add that when reassembling, there's a tab on the side piece with the trigger that must go into a slot on the trigger to push a button inside. If you don't line it up properly, the system won't work (took me about 10 min to figure out why it wasn't working and walk back through all of the steps). Excellent hack! 🙂
I didn't have trouble with that, but there was an elbow with 2 gaskets that got disoriented during disassembly. Once I figured it out, was easy to reseal the gasket fully, and fix the direction of the end of the elbow. I wasn't comfortable messing with the gluing part of the video. I just leave an empty pod in the top cover.
Thank you: I was about to buy the 180 pads for $69 and you saved me that much. I actually wouldn't have minded if it was clearly indicated on the box that the user will need to continue buying the capsules, but after taking the box home and you discover that, you feel cheated.
My Kourig machine has been loaded with distilled water. I set it to the smallest cup size, & brew hot water. Next, I add 1/8 tsp sea salt along with about 1/16 tsp (or less) of baking soda. I then dilute with cool water before filling the Navage, so as to not burn plastics in the machine (nor my sinuses). and it works perfectly. That Kourig is strictly for that purpose. I no longer us kourig for coffee as I drink so much coffee that I decided to buy a cheap Mr Coffee (4-cup basket version) to suit my coffee needs.
Yep, a small zip tie around that little button and some nail clippers to cut that tab and no more saline pods. Mine stopped working even with new pods so I had nothing to lose taking it apart and now it works great. Just be careful prying the two sides off, you could break it pretty easy if you just gorilla the thing.
Thanks! This worked great! Just an fyi to anyone who can't get the super glue to work. You want to use regular super glue not the gel type. The gel type doesn't bond to plastic well.
Thank you so much! I love the device, but hate those pods. What a deceptive practice to force you to buy a tiny bit of salt water in a wasteful piece of single use plastic. Awesome hack!
Thank you for posting this; just finished the modification to my own Navage. I'd been using an emptied saline pod and fiddling with the buttons each use to "trick" the device but this will make things much easier. BTW for anyone who doesn't know; Here's the recipe to mix up your own saline solution: 1 cup distilled water. 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp pickling salt
Another bit of advice: Everytime you fill the tank for a nasal cleaning, put one drop of iodine in it. The iodine will kill any germ or microbes and your body will take the iodine up. It's good for you.
Thanks for making this video. I have tried other hacks to bypass the need to press the two buttons but this easy and permanent fix is the best. It's frustrating that the Navage company tries to force consumers into buying more of the over priced products. I can make my own saline thank you.
Thanks for the vid. For those who want a cheap replacement for the pods: 1 Gallon Distilled Water + 8tsp Salt (iodine-free)+ 8tsp baking soda=1 Gallon of Saline Solution for about $1.15. It will last you a week even if you use it twice a day. Just discard it if you have it for more than a month.
I wonder if using salt with iodine in it is the same as someone else posted about putting a drop of iodine in the solution intentionally for the health benefits?
A very thorough, no holds barred hack! Some close-ups of the trigger lock that gets cut off and a close shot of the area you superglued would have been a nice touch to the video, but I was able to figure it out from what you described and a little of my own mechanical aptitude. Power to the people! Stick it to the Man!
The moment I bought this Machine start thinking how to bypass it and I found out about those two buttons but couldn’t find a way to do it your way until I saw your video thank you for your help
I got this not knowing you had to buy extra crap just to use it but I also need it or I'll have sinus infections and constant migraines. Thank you for this video, you are doing God's work ☺
Bloody legend! Just modified mine and works just as described in the video. This is a much better method then using a cut out and having to pinch the top every time, especially if your handy and like to take things apart. Thank you sir!
I cut a piece of a mechanical pencil eraser about 1/8" and put it over the switch instead of gluing it. It stays depressed. Navage definitely had me stumped on how to take it apart. I didn't think about splitting it until I saw your video. Thanks!
Thx for the video, I did a hybrid fix. I cut the small piece off the power switch like you did, but used a fine zip tie to hold down the button in the tank lid.
this is cool, but a simpler way is to used a crushed salt pod, rempve the foil and cut away all but the lid (defeats switch #1). as you start to close the lid, stick your pinky finger up to the inside top of the lid, push on the little release lever until you hear a simple "click" (defeats switch #2), pull pinkie out, finish closing the lid .. and the machine runs perfectly - no disassembly, modifications or glue required.
@@alonsoh2050 f you haven't found it yet, here is a video demonstrating it. Much easier, no need to deconstruct. th-cam.com/video/CNBENw7WDBg/w-d-xo.html
There's no need to cut the tab off for the trigger block. The block itself will pull off of the shaft. If you look at it closely, it's only held on by two little nubs on the shaft. Just pull it off. The little tab you cut off also helps stabilize the button.
Nice! Good call. Haven’t checked this but when I made this video I didn’t look past the solution I figured out. I’m sure there are many different ways to do this. Glad you found one that works for you and possibly easier than what I did. Point being... no pods!
On that top switch all I did was press it down with a dental pick and applied superglue and waited for it to dry. Then broke off that tab on the inside. Great hack, THANKS... thumbs up for sure! At Wallymart they sell salt packs, 50 for $9.95, and thats what I use now!!!
This worked great. Appreciate the video. I skipped the super glue and just used the bottom part of a pod. I have 20 or so pods leftover so I can replace the ring if it deforms. Took less than 10 minutes.
I glued the motor depression switch at the top. I just pulled the mechanism down until the switch was 1 mm below the activation point and put 1 drop of extra thick CA in the hole. Then I hit it with CA Accelerator and it worked perfectly. Just a thought... Thanks for the video - I am POD FREE!
I just did half of what you showed. The part about cutting the tab off so you could press the power button. The other suggestion, to glue the down arm is something one shouldn't do cause you can't separate the bottom from the top platform in the future. I just retained on of the "lips" of the salt pods. Works great now.
Good vid! I pulled the silicone square peg down a bit, put glue in the square shaft/hole, then let the square peg come up just barely level. It quickly dried stationary in the square hole and seemed much easier to do, works grt!
Nice job on the hack! I just finished and reassembled my brand new unit... now waiting for the glue to dry. Looks like it's been a few years since you made the video... is the glue fix durable over time? I made a few cut-down salt pods to use if that ever stops working. Thanks!
Awesome idea. I just got a Navage and was shocked to see that they want $0.40 per "pod". For what? Sea salt and baking soda. NO, thank you. Clearly Navage wanted to drive up revenue by "soaking" it's customers. Thanks for this video. I'll be "fixing" my unit in the next couple of days. Problem: Design flaw.
Great information. However I found a better way instead of using glue. I just used a small plastic wire Zip Tie around the shaft near the hole where the shaft slides up and down.
You, Sir, have helped me through another miserable stuffy night but with the lack of the dreaded pod. Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙌 Also NeilMed makes premixed packs. A lot cheaper than salt pods costing me about 15 cents per packet for a 50 count for $7.84 in my area. One premixed pack is good for 8 oz of water( roughly what navage holds) Add in a 78 cent gallon of water. You’re set for quite a while. Just mix in your navage as needed. Hope this helps someone.
You can cut the ring out the salt pod place it in the slot where it goes pull the lid down enough to where you can push the switch back I use my pinky you'll hear it click and that's it
Thanks bro! I have one ordered. You saved me some time of figuring it out myself when it comes in. I think the "thumbs down" are from the people at Navage.
Guys this is so much easier. Put in a used salt pod, then as you're closing the Lid press on the upper switch with your finger; when the Lid is lowered enough it will recede into the lid with a click. Lid has to be lowered some what in order for switch to click in, but not that much. So unless you have really fat fingers it's easy to do. No disassembly required...
I want to thank you for your video. As soon as I got my Nevage I was determined to find a way around their cleverly devised "use only my salt pods" strategy. I like your approach the best and it worked flawlessly taking only a little time.
Instead of using super glue, cut a short length of a paperclip of maybe a 1/4' long, hold it with needle nose pliers, heat it up red hot with a propane torch or a lighter, then plunge it into the plastic bar and through to the piece on the other side of it. Put maybe two pins in and those pins being melted into the bar will hold it in place preventing it from being pushed back up. You can also use glue as a backup.
I super glued it in a different place: I pulled the stem down and glued the top of the ‘switch’ so it’s always flush. Used a hairdryer to speed up the dry time. We’ll see how long it works. Thanx for the tutorial!!!
Whatever does the trick. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t do this video for money so if you have a better idea I am happy to hear it. Hopefully it helps someone else.
1 cup of warn distilled water 1/8 tespoon sal" sea " not iodene 1/4 teaxxxxx baking soda . I have serius cronic sinus for 28 years, so aldo add a couple drops of Ysoil is for also very good for the tiroideis, and tea tree also couple drops. good luck
What kind of solution you use in it since you don't use the ponds? I just bought me one.. Love it.. But not that great at taking it apart and all, was wondering what other solution you can use?
sugargurl1967 Sure some people use tap water but if your water is chlorinated fill a jug and let it sit uncapped overnight to let the chlorine dissipate. But if are already using it with no discomfort then carry-on.
Thanks for the information. This little process also save an argument with my wife for forgetting to put distilled water and shutting the lid down, therefore wasting pods. Its a small thing but save argument. Navage is a good product but makes you dependence on those overprice pod. Other solutions are also better.
This guy made a mountain out of a molehill. Just leave a used salt pod in the chamber. When the lid is 3/4 closed, reach your index finger in and push the little tab inside the bottom of the lid. Very gentle press and you will hear a little click. Now you are ready to go.
Great tip and video. I’d like also to suggest not to use glue on the second part. In my case I just used the aluminum cover sheet from one used pod and with some bending it got thick enough. I just inserted it in the place of that rubber piece. Working perfect. No mess.
It would be difficult to get both mechanisms to stay in place and I really didn’t want to use anything that could leach into my nasal rinse that I use twice a day every day. To each their own. Let me know if it works for you.
Can't wait to do this to mine... i spent $90 CAD on the blasted thing today... not about to spend insane amounts when I have a whole bunch of saline refill pks from other companies!!!
@@downtownbrown6337 amazing!!! The woman at the store was trying to encourage me to buy replacement pods... I was like NO thank you! 😂 I'm not about to waste money on salty water! 😂
Your welcome! I just figured this out for me and decided to share. Not really in to hunting for solutions to problems that don’t affect me just to post more videos. If I find a solution for something else and it can help others then I definitely will share it.
Thank you that worked great but if i may suggest i got a better fix for the 2nd part (only cuz my super glue didn't work lol) . The small piece i cut off the inside i cut to size tofit the little button on the top and glued it right on top of it so when the lid closes it pushes down and it works just as good :-)
Sounds like it could work. I thought about gluing the top side but was concerned some smart chemistry person would say “hey you know that glue leaches ( insert a periodic chemical) right”. I used a 30 second fast super glue unlike the super glue I grew up with. Not sure this stuff should be used for quick wound stitches like the old. Glad it is working for you, that is the goal, stop using the silly salt pods. Thanks for the idea!
I did almost the same as you. But instead I used the aluminum cover of an used pod and just made some bonded layers with it and inserted in that place.
With this new found freedom you can easily use my allergists recipe: 8 0z warm distilled water, 1/2 tsp non-iodized salt, 1/4 tsp baby shampoo (johnson), pinch of baking soda. May we all be congestion free. Thank you to video poster for this tutorial
@@wandacollier7128 per the allergist it breaks down the microbial biofilm that is present with sinusitis. but I would think it's only needed if the typical saline type solution isn't clearing the sinus
You're doing the Lord's work man! Im about to walk in my bathroom and showing my Navage who's boss thanks to you.
Hot wire it and drive it like you stole it.
We will end the oppression of salt pods upon our freedom.
I think they should be sued for forcing this trauma on society.
my nose will not be held hostage any longer.

Agreed!
I agree... what a gimmick, that is some expensive saline solution
all companies strive to keep a direct line to them from your bank account.
Cyclical (preferably Monthly) installments are a business model success.
You can get whole bag of saline salt packs to load into the machine at the store for less than 10 bucks.

What head did you use to remove the screws?
The top tank isnt sealed on top just leave an empty pod in slowly pour your solution into the top it goes in slow but it works.
Just did that! The thing is leaky so I've lost some valuable pod juice. Just filled it in 1 min. But with just water. Have to figure out a saline.
Cut the top ring off a pod and use that. You will be able open the lid fully when adding water or mixture.
Cut the rim off and just use that
Thanks!
I want the screwdriver. Where did you get it?
Goes out of video during the lock cut section. Not really sure what you did there.
Worked great! Thanks!

Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized salt like Pickling Salt and 1/4 teaspoon of Baking Soda in 8ozs of "body temperature warm" Distilled Water.
customprc is it ok to use warm tap water?, i been using it so far no problems.. 😕

Spudger ??
@@garysadler7853 Check eBay. Needed for opening cellphones, come in metal or plastic for different needs. Indispensable.
Worked perfectly, just sold all of my overpriced salt pod stock...
What type screws are on it....I can't find a screw driver to fit
Russell Dzurko How do you wash your nose without saltpods ?
Worked like a champ
Thanks for the video very good information that actually works!!
Just briliant! Thx
Ha! Showing my wife this one!
Thanks for the tip !!!I will be doing just that !!!!thnk you!!!!
So, since you have superglue, couldn't you just glue the buttons down from the top, thus avoiding the disassembly process completely?
It would be difficult to get both mechanisms to stay in place and I really didn’t want to use anything that could leach into my nasal rinse that I use twice a day every day. To each their own. Let me know if it works for you.
Perfect! Thank you!
36 people either work for navage or broke their machine! Lol
Can't wait to do this to mine... i spent $90 CAD on the blasted thing today... not about to spend insane amounts when I have a whole bunch of saline refill pks from other companies!!!
It will work, haven’t bought a single pod since I posted. Good luck
@@downtownbrown6337 amazing!!! The woman at the store was trying to encourage me to buy replacement pods... I was like NO thank you! 😂 I'm not about to waste money on salty water! 😂
I did the glue trick. Now it won't shut off.
Thank you!!!
Your welcome, glad it helped
Thank you, make more videos!
Your welcome! I just figured this out for me and decided to share. Not really in to hunting for solutions to problems that don’t affect me just to post more videos. If I find a solution for something else and it can help others then I definitely will share it.
Thanks for Sharing Great Hack👍👍👍
Yes sir, enjoy the freedom
Great hack! Thanks
Your welcome
Thank you that worked great but if i may suggest i got a better fix for the 2nd part (only cuz my super glue didn't work lol) . The small piece i cut off the inside i cut to size tofit the little button on the top and glued it right on top of it so when the lid closes it pushes down and it works just as good :-)
Sounds like it could work. I thought about gluing the top side but was concerned some smart chemistry person would say “hey you know that glue leaches ( insert a periodic chemical) right”. I used a 30 second fast super glue unlike the super glue I grew up with. Not sure this stuff should be used for quick wound stitches like the old. Glad it is working for you, that is the goal, stop using the silly salt pods. Thanks for the idea!
I did almost the same as you. But instead I used the aluminum cover of an used pod and just made some bonded layers with it and inserted in that place.
Good suggestion, thanks for the input. Glad you found a better way. That’s what we are after
Why not just pour saline solution in to the water you use
Consumer 1 - Navaige 0. Way to go! Thx
50 cents a salt pod is ridiculous for anyone that might need to use it every day of the week.
Yes sir agreed. Especially if you rinse twice or more a day. It’s great for medicine delivery like antibiotic or antifungal rinses.
I just found out I cannot use it with the pods and I am just as pissed as this guy sounds
Lol, and a video was born
Watch this

Thank you. so helpful.
With this new found freedom you can easily use my allergists recipe: 8 0z warm distilled water, 1/2 tsp non-iodized salt, 1/4 tsp baby shampoo (johnson), pinch of baking soda. May we all be congestion free.
Thank you to video poster for this tutorial
Why the baby shampoo? I'd never put something that toxic up my sinuses.
@@wandacollier7128 per the allergist it breaks down the microbial biofilm that is present with sinusitis. but I would think it's only needed if the typical saline type solution isn't clearing the sinus
