That surprises me. My Respironics manual says, "distilled water only". The idea is to prevent mineral scale buildup in the tank.

My DME sends a new water tank every six months whether I need it or not.

Apria is a profit driven company and are not in business to lose money. Brick and mortar cost money! Insurance companies are profit driven and will keep DME's honest. Know what the heck you want when you go to a DME. Have your doctor prescribe a specific machine and mask of choice. Don't know if I w...

Okay, here is the deal. My darling husband is somewhat...shall we say...gaseous. If we could bottle the methane that eminates from that man we'd be millionaires. So, last night, get all settled in bed and he is having a particularly foul night. Dear sweet lord, I thought I was going to die. Windows...

Done,
I will get them out the first of next week.

Bought one a couple of months ago and wrapped it around my fleece hose cover and it works like a champ.

To a good home. Please do not contact me if you have insurance to pay for masks. I have around 5 masks, some have been used once and some have been used for a few weeks. If you need masks and can't afford them contact me. I don't have time to answer any questions about them. First good story emailed...

Six masks, some head straps, some used once some used a few weeks.

Free to a someone without insurance that needs them.
No questions answered, if you want them notify me. Fitrst response gets the lot.

I have been suffering from a cough and chest infection for over a month, both my internist and sleep doctor think that it might have been caused by not cleaning my hose on a daily basis. They say that because the hose does not have the opportunity to dry out during the day it is a prime place for mo...

Most insurance companys will only pay for a new machine every 5 years. I got my apap about a month ago, with only 5 months remaining on the machine. It was an even trade. My co-pay went from $24 to $37. Now, in 4 months, it will be mine. I doubt that you will get two machines from them (ins. comp.)...

Just came home from the EENT doctor with two prescriptions for allergy, Xyzal and Nasonex.
FEEL LIKE CRAP.

Several years ago I became addicted to Afrin. Juet gonna use it until I got over a cold. BEfore you know it the rebound effect was so bad that I couldn't breathe without Afrin. The doctor prescribed medication to be taken orally (don't remember what) and then put me on a cortisone spray which is not...

We thought about getting one a few years back and then we talked with a couple of people who owned them. The two big issues they had were that is is an uncomfortable platform for sex and bith said that it caused them to sweat at night.

Tell him that he don't know crap and that you will get all the information and diagnosis you need on CPAPTALK,COM!!

Hose length cannot possibly have an effect on pressure. Pressure is constant in a vessel!!!
