Finally …. well, to be quite blunt about it, I find the whole idea of using a pap machine revolting.

as this is forum is titled CPAPTALK, you're not going to get anything but recommendations to use cpap.

dunno what to tell you, but i'd look elsewhere.

maybe drinkingrawsewage.com?

don't have an answer for you, i'm merely replying so your post gets a bump.

good luck!

Hi all,

welcome to the zoo!

you might want to increase the minimum from 7 to 8. it starts at 7 but never really goes back down,


how are you sleeping?

btw, when you get the chance, pls fill out your equipment profile so it shows up in each of your posts, as mine does below.

good luck!

I do change the disposable filters frequently.

i only check my air filter when someone in the forum brings it up. so, thanks! it was time for a change.

I have them. However, a small amount of daylight leaks around the edges. I've decided I want to keep that because I do prefer to wake up naturally rather than by the alarm. If everything is blacked out all the time, I won't wake up naturally at the more-or-less right time. I'd probably wake up 40 t...

One downside, if I sleep past 6 AM I have to wear an eye mask to block light. The eye mask does not do well with the N30i.

blackout curtains?

Ohhhhh, surrreee, where’s everyone now? Now that I posted a proper image. Now nobody wants to come out and play. Only when you post a microscopic image do all of CPAPTalk’s members swarm you and cry foul. Do better, people. what an EXCELLENT way to get help. deriding members will always get you far...

The instructions with the AirSense 11 say to empty the chamber each morning and dry out with a towel it prolly says the same on my airsense 10 and my vauto. but i've never done it and i'm here to tell the tale. not sure what resmed thinks will happen if i don't empty the chamber, but i'm paying for...

Got the email notification! Thanks!

i live to serve.

I use distilled water in my CPAP machine, per instructions. Because distilled water is free of contaminants, why is it necessary to dump it out each day and replace it with more distilled water? Can't you just leave it in and add more water up to the fill line? Alternatively, can you save the used ...

SmartStart has to be turned off and then the machine will just blow air until you tell it to stop and you don't have to be attached to it. In this situation with the AirSense 10 machine I would turn off the heat to the humidifier (don't want to be adding more moisture to the hose) and then turn off...
