Humidifiers

Post by creampuff » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:24 am



Reading many of the subjects and replies about humidifying the air in the

CPAP or other systems, plus some using a humidifier in their bedrooms, I

did not read what type of water is being used for these units.

Straight from the tap or demineralized water?

Also is anyone using a air purifier in their home as well?

I have a water purifier hooked up to my faucet and I use water from that. Somewhere in this forum, I thought I read that you should use distilled water

For maintainence free plug-n-play ... use distilled water.

If you like to clean and maintain things ... use other kinds of water.

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

I use distilled. That's what Resmed recommends. I've had no build up on my machine.
