Does the SoClean machine require water in the humification c

wnorm · Post by **wnorm** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:49 pm

I am having problems with my check valve with the So-Clean. It keeps getting filled with water and I keep changing it. I read somewhere that you can run the Soclean without water in the hum. chamber. No other info was given. Any thoughts? BTW this is a brand new machine . The old one was replaced because of similar problems.

If it's brand new, send it back for a refund. It's garbage, a scam, and won't clean zip. Do a forum search on it... and get to the PO.

Throw it in the garbage.

Here is an accurate review -

I agree that it's at best worthless. Just so you know mine is not just a layman's opinion, I am a microbiologist with 25 years experience with sterilization and disinfection of equipment and facilities used in the production of sterile pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, a good friend of mine bought one without consulting me. I haven't had the heart to tell him what I've said here but I have cautioned him that he still needs to clean his reservoir, hose, mask, and cushions at intervals, since ozone does not clean, and that it will damage his headgear and possibly cushions. If this were a medical device requiring FDA approval it never would have made it to the market.

I will add that ozone will not clean the biofilm that collects on a mask. Bacteria and viruses need a biofilm in which to survive. So, you still have to clean off the biofilm with soap and water. And that soap and water takes care of the cleaning. No $300 ozone machine needed.

Sorry, you were scammed.

That's no good.

The right answer is to demand one's money back.

Send it back.
DEMAND a refund.

This is a new machine sent to me free of charge because the old one had issues with the check valve. Please I appreciate constructive comments. Unless you can offer me polite and helpful answers please do not respond. Thank-you.

So they replaced it instead of giving you a refund?
Thank you for sharing how their "warranty" is conducted.

You probably won't receive any constructive comments regarding your question because most of the people here believe the same as those who have already posted. But I do believe the previous comments, although not related to your specific question, are constructive in that they warn other folks who read this not to buy it.

And just as a general rule for me, if I'm sent a product to replace a defective one and the replacement also has a problem--same as the first problem or a different one--I usually ask for a refund.

How is it not constructive to point out to you that you've been ripped off? That it is in your best interests to get a refund if at all possible?

If you're looking for robots to be polite and only back up what you want, regardless of whether it's right or wrong, you're in the wrong place.

Few people on this forum will admit to owning and using the so clean machine. As previously stated, many of us think it is a waste of money. If you have questions concerning that machine, you need to contact the people you bought it from. If you feel it is necessary, then continue using it, but don't expect to find answers concerning the operation of the machine here on this forum.

The same as you would not look for sausage recipes in a vegetarian forum.

You should be able to just get a new check valve from the company. It's the valve in the line to your machine.
BTW, apologies for the assh*les here on this so-called forum. They put down anything and everything. I think they wish they could afford a Soclean. I have been very pleased with mine. I suggest you Google "apnea board" to find a form that is actually helpful.

It's always amusing when people who are faced with reality just stick their fingers in their ears and go LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
