Re: Sticky: Distilled Water vs. bottled water vs tap water
what I do is used filtered and then boiled water that I use for drinking. Boiling water for the CPAP water is completely unnecessary and actually increases the percentage of mineralization The other problem with not using distilled water is that the minerals in the water can get into parts of the m...

Re: Are there any sources online to download CPAP firmware?
No. I just made the assumption he's using a ResMed because:
- he listed the ResMed Air 11 updates
- he referred to lack of updates being pushed, despite being connected to cellular

Re: Are there any sources online to download CPAP firmware?
Not relevant, really. How this usually works is there is a website or forum which has listed firmware. It is very relevant, and no, that's not how it usually works. ResMed has never supported end-user firmware updating. Why must waste their time trying to help you when you're to peak -headed to sim...

Re: Eligible for a New Machine-My Dilemma
There really is no reason to go with the Air 11. You have a ton of supplies and accessories that are Air 10 only. Since releasing the Air 11, in the few years of the 11, it has received more complaints than the 10's 10 year history. louder lack of accessories leaky hose attachment flaw heating syste...

Re: ResMed AirSense 11 - Average data?
The best way is to stick an SD Card in it, download OSCAR, and then import your data into OSCAR for analysis.

Re: Camping at Elevation With Sever Apnea Again, Please Help
I'll bring two DieHard batteries, the ones you use to jumpstart a car ... it'll usually be enough for a night or two, and then I'll go recharge them somewhere ... I end up buying two again every year and even then sometimes they don't last. As Rubicon stated, make sure you have Deep-Cycle. Batterie...

Ironically, upon submitting the above post, the problem occurred and the post was lost. Fortunately, I buffered it with a CTRL-A, CTRL-C.

Re: I'm getting really mad at CPAP.com
CPAP . COM (AKA: The absentee landlords) should be ashamed of themselves. The disrespect they show Pugsy, regular contributors, and users in need of assistance is obscene. These forums are not great because of them, they are great despite them. The forum's popularity is because of its members. Many ...

Re: Concerned/Worried - New Air Sense 11 AHI High
Oh, I did not think that high leak rates flag apneas. I thought if leak rates are too high that I would actually get more OAs, Hypopneas, etc., that the machine would flag. My thinking was that the machine can't provide sufficient pressure if leaks are too high to treat the apneas. No. These machin...

Re: Starting soon.... One more question.
I *never* wash my hose. I wash my tank and nasal cushion every week or so, in hot soapy water. I use tap water and don't get any mineral build up. I'm on my second hose in six years. I dropped and broke the first one. I'm on my second tank in 6 years. The original is still good, but the mask connect...

Re: Best travel CPAP with humidifier
I see some gadgets that connect to the tubing and capture moisture that replaces a humidifier. Are they any good? They are called Heat Moisture Exchangers. And they work for some people and others don't get much value. Buy a pack, turn off your humidity and try it, before investing in a portable CP...

Re: Best travel CPAP with humidifier
The only travel device, with a humidifier was the DreamStation Go. But I'm not sure they've have a safe foam replacement, or are available anymore. I would suggest not using a travel device. They are often : No humidity Noisy Expensive Not all that much smaller Expensive Not data capable Limited opt...
