Just yesterday I asked a young man I know if he was using his cpap, and he said yes but he hadn't been diligent about keeping it clean, and that mold was growing all gunked up in the bottom. I couldn't believe he just kept using it! Ugh!

[quote="jum001"]You could try checking with the bell captain or concierge at the hotel. Many now have distille water available as so many people travel with CPAP equipment.
