Being a mechanic, I just paid attention to how the old filters were positioned and reversed the order on reinstall. I still haven't got around to building the pressure meter. I had a gage to sync four carbs on a motorcycle but I lost in in the house moving. Reminds me of my old days and syncing the...

You have me scared now, and I am thinking of quiting my therapy, I don't want to do those things you are doing. Hahaha! I'm with you! But still, isn't nice to actually have a choice and some of the newfound energy (or lack of sleepiness) to do it? Freedom to do, freedom not to do -- that is the cho...

[quote="twistedcherokee"]Actually I had raised my pressure when I was using my FF. Because of my beard and mustache it always had a small leak. My wife said that I was still doing the stop breathing thing, so I raised it a little each night until she said that I wasn't doing that any more. My Dr put...

I don't clean it as much as I should, using distilled water keeps it clean, I don't even dump it out just add and clean it weekly when I service the filters. I would feel better about it if the HH wasn't hooked to the REMstar CPAP. But removing and replacing the water tank might cause premature wear...

Anytime the temp of the water gets hotter than the outside of the heated humitifier water will form on the inside. The temp that it forms at is called the dew point. Moist areas provide a good enviroment for the growth of mold, this is what you smell. If your water had chlorine in it, the mold would...

Mouth breathing starts when you open your mouth and continues until you close it. If you are mouth breathing you are not getting the treatment, you have to use a full face mask or find a way to stop it or tape it shut. The pressure coming out of your mouth stops the treatment from being effective. T...

Re: Respironics Full-face mask

[quote="born to be mild"]It sounds like you're referring to the Respironics ComfortFull. I can only assume the marketing genius who dreamed up the title never actually attempted to wear the mask on a pillow. Of course, it's a function of your facial shape. I can tell you that if the bridge of your n...

It doesn't seem silly to me. I too like to plan on controlling what happens to me. Life is tough, sometimes no matter how good we make decisions we get sideswiped, and pushed to the ditch. No one has our best interest at heart like ourselves, many people have trouble in life because they make bad ch...

I got mine from a DME, Remstar Pro 2, The DME had to report to the INS, took my card for 15 days, never were able to download, But I can!

I leave it to them to get paid, You need to ask your ins what they will need.
