Re: Question about cleaning water tank

Why not wash it every day? I like to empty the leftover water from the previous night, and put in fresh water every night.
If some guru decided we only really needed to brush our teeth once a week, would we all stop brushing daily? I wouldn't!! To each his own.

Question about cleaning water tank

Happy day, everyone! I'm a newbie (since Jan. 1), with various questions coming up. I clean my water tank, filter, and nasal pillows every morning - it just takes a couple of minutes. Question is about the water tank. (Yes, I only use distilled water!) I've been washing it with a sponge, and a drop ...

Re: Newbie here, with a whistling hose!!

Thanks for all the suggestions here! I was going to go for the Silicone Grease, but like the multi-use idea of Lansinoh. So, I'll try Lansinoh first, and if that doesn't work, will go for the Silicone Grease. My cats don't play with the hose because of the way I have it set up - they can't get to it...

Re: Newbie here, with a whistling hose!!

If I leave the hose on the floor, I will very likely trip on it (Ms. Graceful). Also, I have several cats who might be tempted to play with that thing that looks like a snake. The hose is not wrapped tight, it's just draped around the back, and over the headboard. I had no problem till a few weeks a...

Re: Newbie here, with a whistling hose!!

No, I just received a new hose about two weeks ago - same whistling problem. Could it be a bad hose that should be replaced?

Newbie here, with a whistling hose!!

Hi all! I'm a newbie - started using CPAP 1st of this year. Have been very lucky, and slept through the night since day 1. However, the past few weeks, I've been hearing a whistling noise from my hose, which wakes me up. It's not the vent noise - I'm familiar with that, and it doesn't bother me. Sle...
