Re: How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?

Is that from too much water or not enuff O2? It's not that there is too little oxygen in plain air - it's that there is too much oxygen in plain air. Every scuba diver is taught about the partial pressure of gases, where even the oxygen in plain air will kill you if you dive deeply, which is why re...

Re: How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?

I know ozone is a lung irritant but I also thought it was carcinogenic so I googled it. Almost anything will kill you in high enough concentrations (even air will kill you - ask any diver), so we have to look at it with a dispassionate mind. I'm sure the ozone oxidizes carbon where we can consider ...

Re: How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?

Googling further, I found the concentration at the Soclean2 web site . Q: What is the concentration of ozone inside the SoClean? A: less than 10 PPM (parts per million) What does that mean? I don't want "less than" but "more than", since it's the PPM that does the killing. It could be zero ppm and s...

Re: How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?

Since I had never even heard of this SoClean2 until an hour ago, I looked up what it is. The SoClean 2 is an automated CPAP equipment cleaner and sanitizer. With the SoClean 2 CPAP cleaning machine, you can sanitize and disinfect your CPAP mask, hose, and reservoir without needing to take any pieces...

Re: How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?

This report contradicts some of what was reported above, but reiterates that concentrations of about 3 to 8 ppm in water are the effective doses at contact times of from 1 to 10 minutes. The most effective pH is 7.0 (neutral) and the amount of organic solids in the water reduce effectiveness, which...

Re: How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?

Plug the word into the search box--and stand back What matters is the ozone concentration first and foremost, since without that, nobody can say what it does (or doesn't do) to either mold or seals. It's been a while since I even thought of the ozone layer, so looking it up as a refresher, ozone is...

Re: How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?

no - i dont think it is bad for teh seals I think the person who bought it is sorry but it's already a fait accompli, so they asked me for advice. There are only two ways to get the answer to the question of whether the ozone damages the seals. . Empirical (which only people who have the machine fo...

How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing?

How has your experience been with the SoClean2 Sanitizing? I received this message from a friend so I decided to ask you on her behalf. Hi, I bought the SoClean2 automatic cpap sanitizing machine.... But now my question is .... Do you think the O3 or ozone that the machine uses is really bad for th...

Re: Looking for CPAP for relative

Nobody mentioned the requirement for a "prescription". A friend of mine under similar circumstances told me she had to do some "special things" to get around the requirement for a prescription. While buying a used machine on Craigslist might not need a "prescription", wouldn't the other suggested op...

Re: Time frame for improvement after CPAP usage

how long did it take for you to see improvements in your fatigue, foggy head, depression, etc. once you started using the CPAP machine? Thank you. My AHI was 92 before CPAP (less than about a month ago). My headaches, aching feet, and falling asleep at red lights ceased the first night and haven't ...

Re: Brand new to cpap (overloaded with information) Start where?

Did you realize that the power cable also has a signal line in it in addition to power? So if you were to hook up, say, two 12 volt batteries to a connector and plugged it into the cpap, it still wouldn't work? If you added a 2.7K ohm pull-up resistor and a 3.3VDC reference voltage, the circuit WIL...
