Back Up Machine is Busted
Okay so the back up machine is the exact same as the regular machine and set with the same settings. I did a switch to see if perhaps it was just my boyfriend's house that was trying to kill me, but no, the back up machine is malfunctioning. With the backup machine I have severe dry mouth, it is loud when it runs (boyfriend confirmed that the back up machine is loud but he can't even hear the regular one) it sometimes shuts off at random times, and it give me gas so badly that I am doubled over in pain. Lovely. Same hose, same mask. So, what do I do now to get it fixed, or is that even possible? It was bought on an internet auction over a year ago. Any suggestions?

Go to Craigslist.com for your city. There are always CPAPs for sale. 2 years ago I bought an S8 II auto with 200 hours for $200.Jaylee wrote:Okay so the back up machine is the exact same as the regular machine and set with the same settings.

Re: Back Up Machine is Busted
Call manufacturer and ask if they do rebuilds.
Or take it to the nearest college engineering department and let them play with it.
If they can fix it you may only be out the cost of parts.

IF it costs more to repair than buying another from CL keep it for your hose dryer or to inflate the kids toys. No kids? Better get busy

I have no doubt, how I sleep affects every waking moment.
I am making progress-NOW I remember that I can't remember
If this isn’t rocket science why are there so many spaceshots?
