Altering filters

I have a ResMed 11 that I just got. I had a 10 and have a lot of the allergy filters left over. The 11 filters are extremely thin & I question their ability to filter out any allergens. Would it be safe to cut down the 10's filers to fit in the 11s? I don't want to over tax the machine.

Cool Air

During the summer months I would like cool air coming through my cpap. I have a Resmed 10 and I turn off the heater and the heated hose. Would there be any down side with putting the reservoir & water in the freezer during the day and then inserting it into the unit at night? Or possible freezing so...

Re: Whining for Mom

Well, it was the motor dying. The machine was over 2 yrs old so it was out of warranty. I called the provider and they swapped out the unit with a refurbished unit. It is nice & quiet and everyone should enjoy a good night's rest. :D

Re: Whining for Mom

Sometimes, moving the machine to a lower position will prevent the sound from reaching your wife. The edge of the mattress is an effective sound baffle. Or you could get her earplugs . . . :mrgreen: :mrgreen: -Maybe so. But what about the noise itself. What could be causing it & can it be corrected?

Vicks in Water chamber

I have a bad head cold and vicks helps keep my sinuses open.
