melted my hose; replace with what kind?

Post by pranayama » Sat Jan 03, 2015 2:40 pm

Happy New Year!
When I flung my mask off this morning (it was that kind of morning), the hose landed on my floor heater and I didn't notice right away. Luckily my mask missed the heater. So, the hose that came with my original set up is history. Want to order a new hose today using amazon prime. (Can't find a medical supply store open this weekend.)
Should I just replace the original, or try a different hose? The 6 six foot length seems to work for me, but the weight is bulky and annoying. Would getting a 15 mm hose (instead of 22) help with bulky/heaviness? With 15 mm hose I will need to change CPAP setting...how?
Here's one I found
http://www.amazon.com/ResMed-36810-Resm ... =cpap+tube
But I can't find the stated diameter or length. Can anyone point me to link for a hose that might work for me?
Thank you!!!
Holly

I bought this hose to use with my Devillbiss backup machine.
The included hose was too stiff for my liking.
