Resmed S9 Filter

newpapper · Post by **newpapper** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 4:06 pm

My S9 fell off the nightstand last night and it kept running. Today I have nose and lung irritation and I found that the filter fell off. So in spite of looking like it doesn't do much - it apparently really does.

You can also purchase disposable inline filters which I use since I live in a dusty desert. They are just an extra protection again dust and dirt. I also have four cats so I have cat hair in the air no matter how much I vacuum.

The filter is there to primarily protect the inside of the machine. Without the filter you are breathing the same air you breathe during the day without the CPAP. I don't believe the filter had anything to do with your nose/lung irritation.

sleeplessinaz - Are you using the this inline bacteria filter?

If so, does it work with humidified air? I read elsewhere that moisture can clog it. Thanks!

I do, it works but i has been increasing pressure about 1.5 cmH2O. Have used it about 2 months before I switched filter. Have humidification at 2 and heating hose 5. Feels better in the lungs when using the filter.

Thanks Lazer.
I ordered 5 filters. I'll set the humidification on 2. That's a good idea to increase the pressure to compensate for the pressure drop across the filter. I agree that it definitely feels better to breathe clean air.

Hi Newpapper,
Yes that is the exact filter I am using. It is not affected by the humidity - I have mine set at 4.5 but I am not using a climate line hose- just a plain regular hose. It works great! Glad to see you ordered some. I order the pack of five to six to save a bit of money since I pay out of pocket.

Hi sleeplessinaz. Thanks for the good information. I'm looking forward to trying out a filter when they arrive.
