I called my supplier and was told that the chamber is supposed to be changed every 6 mos. Then, I was also told that the filter and nose pillow mask are supposed to be changed every two weeks. It's supposed to be for hygiene safety. I thought that it was only to make money. I am diligent about cleaning my equipment.
I think it's more about making money IMHO.
With common sense cleaning and care this stuff will last a long time and doesn't need replacing.
The only thing I am half way religious about changing is the filter once a month but that's more because the house I live in is very old, out in the country, lots of dust, old furnace and vents, etc. The filter gets yucky looking in 4 weeks.
The only thing I have had fail was the water chamber and that was only after it slipped out of my hands and landed on the hardwood floor. No outward breaks but the seal was compromised. I had a spare chamber so no big deal.
In all my years of cpap use (coming on 9 now) I have never replaced the water chamber until I broke one. Haven't needed to and they always look brand new. Common sense cleaning and care works well for most people.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.
