1st equipment failure after 2.5 yrs

Post by Cardsfan » Thu Aug 17, 2017 11:14 am

Well, I knew to be prepared for it- thanks to the help on here. My mask nose cushion has a split in the silicone where it hooks into the short hose. I have been hearing an odd sound, off and on, not constant, for about 6 weeks. When washing my mask, I saw the 1/4 inch -tiny- split in the silicone. I hope that is where the noise was coming from.
But, I was prepared with an extra cushion on hand.

So glad you could identify the problem and that you're prepared with a backup.
I'll know to look more closely when I'm cleaning things. Thanks.
