Rescomf

[wpgbrent]

I am brand new to this forum just bought a Rescomf ozone cleaner and am pleased so far. How does this affect my cleaning regimen? Do I still need to wash everything and is this just an extra step?
Any feedback is appreciated.

You still have to physically remove the facial oils, dirt, grime, slobber, snot or whatever with soap and water.

It did clean your wallet though.

Ozone scares the hell out of me....it can seriously damage the lungs.
Even if it could physically remove the snot, slobber, etc....I wouldn't want it in my bedroom.
I might run it outside on the porch though....if it meant I never had to use soap and water which of course isn't going to happen.
All it can maybe do (big maybe) is sterilize all that facial oil, dirt, grime, slobber and snot so nothing is alive in it.

What is there about it that pleases you?
I do not own one and am just curious.

I have always wondered how you can tell if these ozone units are doing anything. I guess you can have a comfort level and assume they are doing what they are advertised to do....but you have no way of measuring it. If ozone was important the manufacturers would recommend it...currently they recommend soap and water.

In the mid 80s CPAP was invented and since then been gold standard for Apnea treatment.

In 2011 the SoClean invented the first Ozone cleaner and created a crisis, that didn't exist. There has been no study that demonstrates that CPAP users get respiratory infections at a rate greater than the general population and a few studies that demonstrate pathogens are simply not being transferred via CPAP.

SoClean has created a marketing strategy based on fear and deception and since then, other Ozone cleaners have entered the market.

Welcome to the forums, Zonker should be along shortly to get you started.

Exactly my thoughts.

People are too trusting sometimes....they believe everything they are told.
Which includes all bugs are bad and will kill you and nuking equals cleaning which of course it doesn't.
Appeals to the lazy side of people.

Or maybe they have a lab in the basement and they actually put the before and after culture medium discs into actual testing and test for the level of pathogens in not nuked vs nuked equipment.

I have never seen proof of a need first of all....and then I have never seen proof that everything was nuked if it was there in the first place.
Them telling me it happened doesn't constitute proof for me. I want facts.
Plus as soon as I touch anything freshly nuked...I just contaminate it immediately with my own bugs anyway...I can't nuke myself.

And I have no desire to invest in a lab to prove or disprove their claims. I got a perfectly good brain full of common sense that can do that and it's free.

But again...whatever floats your boat and lets you sleep well at night I guess is okay to do but ozone is scary crap and can hurt you...so people need to understand its limitations.

It's an extra step and a useless step. They don't clean anything.

Your CPAP machine warranty has likely been voided. If you ever have a warranty issue with your CPAP machine, don't let on that you used an ozone cleaner.

Of course you "still need to wash everything".......Ozone doesn't CLEAN, it's a (debatable) disinfectant.
Your body oils are still on the mask. Most of these machines have instructions in their manuals which specifically instruct the user to use soap and water (or their version of soap) to actually clean the equipment before using the "cleaner".
Worthless junk that mainly "cleans" the bank accounts.
Too late to get your money back? I'd try if it were me......but then I wouldn't have wasted my money on it to begin with.

You forgot the fact that SoClean is now being sued due to not warning about their harmful ozone levels.

At $38, with luck it won't even power on, your loss wou;d only be your cost unless it puts too mich ozone into your room, they the coost could be much higher. You should still have almost 8/10 of your money to invest in a No-Clean therefore getting the full va;ue of a billfold cleanout! Jim

I am brand new to this forum

Welcome to the forum! We hope you like it here, with the direct, blunt truth being given to questions you ask.

just bought a Rescomf ozone cleaner and am pleased so far.

Because it hasn't burst into flames, yet?

How does this affect my cleaning regimen?

It doesn't, you still have to do the same soap and water cleaning you've always done.

Do I still need to wash everything and is this just an extra step?

Yes, an unnecessary, and potentially harmful step.

Ozone erodes most things it touches, plastics, your lungs, etc. If I were you, I'd try to get my money back for the thing.

I saw this on line a while back...I don't know how valid it is...

to the original poster, please forgive the irrelevant side chatter!

[chunkyfrog]

Starting is easy.
Just chuck the ozone whatsis in a corner . . .
Unless you can get the shyster who sold it to buy it back.
It is useless and hazardous.
Sorry they lied to you.
