Re: New to great board here but need some help Auto Flex
Pugsy, I guess I just thought if my fixed cpap was 12... if I had the auto and it was set at 8 min I thought it would work its way up to that. If not then was the re-tiration bogus then when they said 12 was the optimal setting? I understand that I should not mess with it much.... I think that I wil...

Re: New to great board here but need some help Auto Flex

Re: distilled water
Well where I live in central Iowa the water is so hard it comes out in little pebbles.... I have used distilled water in my machines and to be honest with you have never washed them out. Dont see the need using the distilled water.

Re: New to great board here but need some help Auto Flex
Number of apnea events during the sleep study is really irrelevant. Someone could have 200 events per hour and have them adequately dealt with with a very relatively small amount of pressure. It is odd that 7.5 seems to do the job when you used to have to use 12 but hey....this is good news. Your d...
