#1 Please ignore the snarky comments about being a SoClean user.

#2 After 5 years of using the Resmed 10 and constant sinus problems (even though I cleaned it DILIGENTLY), I purchased a SoClean machine. The sinus problems disappeared. I've only had the SoClean for 18 months, but suddenly this week I'm seeing bits of filter floating in my water chamber. Clearly I have the same problem as you. I'm not sure how to solve this because I don't want to destroy my machine by disassembling it. I'm going to follow up with ResMed regarding the warranty. I will let you know if I have any success.

You might want to read this. If your machine falls in this time frame SoClean will pay for the repairs. https://hartmedical.org/blog/post/socle ... rification

Maybe so. But it looks the same.

Idiocy, pure and simple.

If the SoClean can break down the foam in a Resmed, so to can the ozone that exists in the air around us cause degradation of the foam, just at a less accelerated rate than what the SoClean is capable of.

There is *exceedingly* little ozone in the air around us. it very rapidly reacts and breaks down.

nothing compared to using an ozone generator on a cpap.

Don't be stupid.

Larger cities may be more prone to having higher concentrations of ozone due to the pollutants that produce it. Perhaps if you have breathing problems, you may have an 'air purifier' in your home that not only filters out junk in the air, but uses ozone to kill those pesky bad germs and marketed with some techno-fancy name that doesn't hint to be an ozone generator which as well releases ozone into the room air.

Ozone in the air isn't going to do any thing to the foam in Resmed machines as it's not concentrated enough. And I live in DFW and we have some serious air pollution.
I have a Resmed 9 that has over 30, 000 hours on it and the foam is as good as the day they installed it.
