Good Hose Management

Post by rockncountry101 » Wed Jul 15, 2015 8:55 pm

I ask this because I have the right machine and the right mask. However, I have to hold my hose all night long because if not it will pull on my mask. Any suggestions? Thanks.

One of our members came up with an easy inexpensive way to manage their hose using an ID badge clip and a velcro tie. Here is that thread. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=102762&p=964474#p964474

I did indeed offer those as holidays gifts to those that wanted them. If you want to send me your name and mailing address I can send one to you as well as a belated 4th of July present.

If you have a headboard, run the hose over the top of it (from back side to front). It will work as a hose hanger. Also, if you get a snuggle hose cover, the noise from the hose scraping across the headboard will vanish. Plus, it makes the hose much more comfortable when it touches your skin. (get the snuggle hose cover with the zipper, it's so much easier to put on than without the zipper)
Another good one is the Cozy Hoze Boss hanger system. I use that when I travel. Works like a charm. (you can google it)
