Bonjour Matthias,

1:In the past I did notice degradation with age, but since I have stopped
sonication I don't. I find that denture cleaning tablets (eg
'Steradent') remove the most stubborn blockages from nozzles with no
degradation in performance (they leave a nice minty taste as well),
enzymatic treatments (trypsin and DNAse) also do a good job, but cost
more.
