Question on Swift FX/tubing replacement schedule

[tigeragent]

My insurance is like most, where I can get mask replacement after 3 months, along with new tubing. I can also get 2 pillows monthly for the s9.

I am replacing my pillows every 3 weeks or so, and I'm happy with the FX.
I am at the 3 month point now.

Is there a reason to replace the headgear and/or climate line tubing? Do these items ever wear out? I wash the tubing /headgear once a week, but I don't detect any change from 3 months ago.

I keep spares on hand at all times of standard tubing, headgear, mask, filters, and several sets of pillows. Whether my insurance pays for them, or I order them online much cheaper online depends where I am in the deductible/insurance year--ultimately I pay for them all anyway. I do not keep a spare Climateline on hand--but do have a roll of repair tape (air tight to 100 psi from Menard's) available.

I agree with Scrapper. Good idea to have backups of everything. When things spring a leak, it's always in the middle of the night on a long weekend. Or if you're traveling, it's good to have backups. All my items are washed and ready to use.

My former S8 AutoSet II is my backup for the S9 AutoSet. I run it every few months, just to make sure everything stays lubricated.
