Never any wildfires, prevailing smoke, or smog in my area. I don't live in the city. Never SoClean or ozone. My foam is in mint condition. Amazon doesn't sell official replacement motors by ResMed. Thanks for your link, but it's unofficial and made in China. I am afraid ...

A couple questions......
- Do you live in an area where there are wildfires and prevailing smoke? City smog?
- Do you use a SoClean or other similar CPAP cleaning device?

... on personal comfort and preference than on direct hard science. I am glad this forum has room for us all. That said, I personally do not consider SoClean or their products or their misleading ads to be honorable or respectable or ethical.

Thank you, Dog Slobber.

That paper is worthy of a thread with its own name, something like "Worried about cleaning your equipment? Read this!"

A gem!

I feel that some "dirt" is beneficial by exercising our immune systems,
but knowledge of the processes is useful if they are needed--but only then
For example, I became much more conscientious during chemo.
After chemo, I welcomed my first runny egg in months.
And tap water!

Thanks so much Dog Slobber. I have been almost ODing over the cleanliness/germ issues. I'll relax now.

... and now feel really good for doing so. I think you made the right move. This is also a good opportunity to put you at ease about CPAP cleaning: SoClean (and other sanitiser manufactures), DMEs, and some CPAP users, fear-monger and overstate the necessity and thoroughness of CPAP cleaning. This ...

Thanks Grumpy48 and Dog Slobber! I returned it this afternoon and now feel really good for doing so.

... it. ie: https://ozonesolutions.com/blog/ozone-compatible-materials/ Some of these incompatible materials are inside your CPAP machine. I called SoClean and they said it was a voluntary recall Which means what? If SoClean was beneficial, don't you think the CPAP manufactures would recommend it, ...

... well as ozone or other gases, may damage the device. Damage caused by any of the foregoing will not be covered by ResMed’s limited warranty." The SoClean sanitizes with the use of ozone. Using it may cause damage to the CPAP machine, thus Resmed will not warranty the unit. Ozone is not good for ...

Hi, I'm new to using my cpap and it's going great. At the suggestion of a friend I ordered a SoClean 3 cleaner/sanitizer. It arrived and then I heard about the voluntary recall having to do ozone leakage. I called SoClean and they said it was a voluntary recall and that ...

Soclean and an escape? You poor, poor thing! Your providers need to be lined up and SHOT! Thank goodness you have found this forum! Stick around, and we will help you correct all this malpractice. Why should the providers ...

I recently have orange colored stain inside my pillow cushion and the tube attached to it. I've never used SoClean, so I don't believe it's due to ozone breakdown. I have used a UV wand to sanitize my tubes before. The orange discoloration happened to all 3 sets that I packed ...

I have used a UV wand to sanitize my tubes before. Much like SoClean, the UV wand could very well damage the tubes. The UV is definitely not strong enough to sanitize anything though. If it were, it would be regulated as dangerous. I am in Central Virginia ...

... so I don't have that problem. Just because you don't see the need or the value.....doesn't mean it isn't there. I agree with you as I don't need a soclean, nor a humidifier, nor supplemental oxygen, nor heated hoses, etc., and yet, I'm sure there are benefits to others of each. Lots of masks come ...
