Re: Walmart's New Distilled Water Jugs

FWIW and likely nothing will come of it, I messaged Walmart corporate with a complaint about the new jugs. "I use distilled water in a CPAP. Walmart has changed the 1 gallon jug from an easy to pour to one that is difficult to pour, particularly for those that are elderly and may have arthritis in ...

Re: Walmart's New Distilled Water Jugs

Well I thought my local grocery store still had the 'normal' 1 gal jugs with the handles, but evidently they apparently get their distilled water from the same supplier as Walmart. Conrad..... "I can't imagine why you would have difficulty pouring the water from the jug into your humidifier, maybe y...

Re: Walmart's New Distilled Water Jugs

I was thinking about posting on the same thing, so thanks for posting. The new jugs plain suck. They must stack these in shipment also, as the one or two I've bought had the tops crushed down so when the cap was removed water spilled out. Walmart's prices in general have gone up and even a local gro...

Re: Got AHI below 1, Still only sleep ~4-5 Hours a Night

I remembered reading your post from a couple days back and this afternoon the video below popped up on my Youtube feed. My nightly routine consists of a Magnesium Glycinate tablet just after supper which helps muscles relax and supposedly helps with sleep. At about 9:00pm before settling in for a co...

Re: How to get a compliance letter when you don’t have a sleep doc??

I've never had a 'sleep doc'. My PCP has done everything I needed including compliance verification for Medicare/Insurance. I would presume your PCP could do the compliance letter for the CDL(?)

you realize this has been recalled, right?
The DreamStation 2 machines are manufactured with a silicone-based foam, not PE-PUR foam, and were not included in the June 2021 recall.
The DreamStation shown in the linked image is the one that was recalled

Re: CPAP compliance - please help

I did a bit of Googling....... some snippets and/or quotes from a few different websites. Talk to your doctor before making any changes to meds. - Vyvanse may cause insomnia and could worsen sleep apnea. - "In fact, up to one-third of patients with ADHD may actually have sleep apnea and be misdiagno...

Re: Argh! The "Joys" of a New Machine

Try backing down the humidity setting to see how low you can go and still feel its benefits. My AS10 is set to 3 and I've been OK with that and still have water in the tank in the morning.

Re: Sunset filters for Airsense 11

Sunset brand as I noted in my post. By any chance are you rinsing out the water tank and drying it with a paper towel or a cloth, either of which might leave something that appears fibrous?

Re: Sunset filters for Airsense 11

My DME is supplying Sunset filters for my AS10. I'm guessing the AS11 Sunset filters are similar. They have a shiny smooth side and a side which the fibers are exposed. When I place the filter into the AS10 I place it with the shiny smooth side towards the machine. The fiber side is facing out. I've...

Re: Good in-line pressure meter for the AirSense 10?

Excellent work. Did you vary the CPAP pressure and found the meter reasonably accurate? It's unclear as to why this could not be placed in line. Yes, I did different pressure settings and the manometer matched what the CPAP was set to. The manometer probably could be placed in line with a proper ad...

Re: Good in-line pressure meter for the AirSense 10?

Wow! Excellent unit and picture! Was this an end cap measurement or in line? Could you use the CPAP while the meter was in place? How did you fabricate the fittings to eliminate air loss? It's an 'end cap' static measurement. I don't how you could do an inline measurement as the pressure would be a...

Re: Good in-line pressure meter for the AirSense 10?

I bought this one a few years ago....

I had to fabricate some simple adapters to fit the hose. It works well.
