Inexpensive hose drier

[Pachyderm's Nose]

So how long is everyone going to extend this thread trying to out flame the other person?

Do we need further proof they're trolling this forum? Clear as day here...

Funny, everyone you are calling a troll has been here longer than you have, and most of them (except me) have more posts than you do. I would also presume that unlike you, they are actually helping folks rather than just being a turd!

Not trying to flame you but -- if you see this thread appear on your screen ... don't click on it.

Hope that helps enough.

You actually approached funny on that one DS. I cracked a smile but couldn't quite get to the laugh point. Keep trying sir.

According to this, pathogens CANNOT be carried out of a humidifier tank to the user. (take out the spaces)
(it's also been posted numerous times on this forum)

so I guess when a PAP machine is sold with a bacterial filter, it is placed so as to filter the incoming air, i.e. right after the usual filter?

I've not seen those; but I thought it was at the end of the tube, an extra-cautious measure to prevent possible bacteria growth in moist areas, i.e. especially the hose, to reach the patient. The usual air filter alone will not block bacteria from entering the system, where the path is dry until you get to the humidifier.
In hospitals, where is it placed?
