No it is not a true water pick. It is called a flosser as that is the closer action and result experienced. It delivers short controlled bursts (1-3 but can repeat) of water between the teeth to remove particles. It is not a high powered steady stream. I am not much of a flosser and it does the job comfortably and gently.

Waterpik is actually a brand name. However, I think you’re asking if it uses water instead of just air. There is a resivoir that can be filled with water or mouthwash if you so choose. You can choose the settings to shoot 1,2 or 3 burts of whatever fliud (or air) you use. You use it in-between the teeth at the gumline, just like a waterpik, and the tiny nozzle head works well to keep it in place as you move along from tooth to tooth. A friend of mine (who happens to be a dentist) recommended it to me and I LOVE IT!

It is not like a WaterPik in that it uses both air and water to clean the teeth. You will feel bursts of air along with the water -- at least, that was my experience.

It uses air to push the water or mouthwash through

Air pressure forces the liquid between teeth; you can use mouth wash or water. It has three different pressure settings.

No, it is not a WaterPik brand item. It is made by Philips Sonicaire. It requires water or mouthwash to operate. It will NOT effectively work with just air.
These airflossers use air and water jets to do the job. Compact compared to a waterpik and do a good job.
