Nasal irrigation device and system with faux collapsible cartridge element

A nasal irrigation device for communicating an irrigant to a device user comprising:

• a mechanics module comprising a lid assembly, wherein the mechanics module is configured to receive a source of saline, and wherein the lid assembly covers a portion of the mechanics module;
• a reservoir assembly which includes an upper reservoir and a lower reservoir, wherein the upper reservoir covers a greater surface area of the mechanics module than the lid assembly, and wherein the upper reservoir surrounds the lid assembly;
• a vacuum source for forming a relative vacuum in the lower reservoir;
• a fluid passageway to communicate irrigant from the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir via a nasal cavity of the device user;
• a valve for releasing the irrigant from the upper reservoir to the fluid passageway;
• and
• a switch assembly for controlling the valve and the vacuum source for the communicating of irrigant to the device user.
