My new hybrid

Hey all,

I ponied up and bought myself a new hybrid off of ebay for a song, and i gotta say, its pretty impressive. The first few nights, my AHI got almost as low as 10 which for me so far, is really good. Last night I realized it was getting a little grody so I took it apart to clean and man did I have trouble afterwards. First off it was difficult to re-assemble, but more importantly now I'm pretty sure its not getting a good seal anymore. Each time I readjusted it I used the S8 mask fit thingy to check how the leak rate was and it reported excellent every time. Through the night I could feel that something just wasnt right and it felt like the nasal pillows were leaking. Come morning, I checked my AHI and was a little PO'd to see it was 30 (!!!)

Any thoughts on how to keep this thing clean without totally screwing it up? And for that matter, how the heck do I put it back together so I can get my nice low numbers back?

Thanks,

-Lee
