Manometer

Post by Greg Riddle » Tue Feb 17, 2015 7:33 pm

Thought I would make one today because last two days I could barely feel the pressure. The other day immediately after putting mask on a coughed hard and got a little water from humidifier tank into the line inside the machine. I immediately took out tank and cleaned the water out. I just wanted to check it to make sure something didn't happen.

I used the end of an old nasal pillow to make it easy to plug in the cpap hose

Should mention there was nothing wrong with the machine I'm just used to feeling the pressure

You have a Neat manometer. I have made a similar one. One thing that has made mine more readable was to add a little red food coloring to my bottle of water to make the liquid levels a bit more distinct than with just plain water.

I couldn't find food coloring so I used red mio drink mix
