Used humidier water chamber o.k.?

Post by Iowamv » Thu Nov 07, 2013 3:07 pm

I'm not generally a germ-o-phobe, but I'm about to sound like one:

I bought a used S9 Elite, and it came with the original humidifier chamber (tub?). Does it seem safe/healthy/reasonable to use that chamber? I washed it with warm soapy water when I got it. Any special cleaning that you'd likely do for it?

Wow, this really does make me sound like a germ-o-phobe!

I did the exact same thing when I bought my used M series... gave it a good clean and it works like a charm, no health issues using it every day pastfor the 2+ years.
Started cpap in 2010.. still at it with great results.
