Smartwater

However, carrying big jugs of distilled water is cumbersome when traveling so I was looking for an alternative, hoping that bottled spring water is acceptable.

Tap water is fine for traveling and even OK at home. The concern with any water except distilled is possible scale in the humidifier tank. But, if you get scale (white powder or deposits), it's easily cleaned out with by using a solution of one part household vinegar to ten parts water.

"Smart" water is smarter than anyone who buys it-
But it is way less expensive than NoClean--which does nothing whatsoever.

You are wrong! NoClean cleans out the wallet quite effectively.

First you must get the germs to jump on the money, germs are pretty smart they will jump off your money if they think you are going to waste it on buying a No-Clean. Jim

As far as Smart Water, if you are thinking about buying a So No Clean, you need to be drinking more Smart Water, You Dip Stick say's you are a few Quarts Low!

You assumed I mean cleaning our germs. I was referring to Benjamins!!

You could also try sugar free gator-aid, kind of the same thing

I've used the SoClean2 for about a week. I hate the smell it leaves in the hose and mask. It smells like it's not good for you. It smells toxic. I tried letting the machine run air through it for a couple of minutes, but this does nothing to help it dissipate the smell. Keeps me from falling asleep, whereas, prior to using the SoClean, I fell asleep in several minutes.

The idea that there are lingering ozone molecules in the hose and mask are freaking me out. Ozone is noxious. How can this be good? If I can smell ozone, that means there IS ozone present. Don't tell me a little ozone won't hurt you. This is what SoClean says on their website. "Some ozone molecules may escape into the air, but they will be so dispersed in the volume of air in the room and will not pose a hazard."

Well, the smell in my mask and hose stays there for more than two hours when first in use when I go to bed. How can this be good?

The answer is that it is good for SoClean's profit, not for you.

It's not, you got suckered, return it for a refund.

and it's what all humidifiers call for

Outside North America most instructions from xPAP vendors just state "clean water", or similar. The fixation on distilled water in North America is a cultural thing.

To a certain extent, it's an availability thing. Distilled water is easily available in the US and in Canada (although it's somewhat more expensive in Canada). I don't know about the rest of the world.

Return it for a full refund! As you perhaps have read here, it doesn't clean anyway.

Probably because Canada's funny money is worth less than U.S. money, but with our national debt we are catching up to them. Soon their money will be worth more than ours. Jim

Could also be because they have to thaw the water out before they can distill it.
