Water isn't compressible, air is.

And when your machine is constantly sensing small changes in pressure (for exhale relief and "auto" therapy adjustments) the less lag time the better.

For CPAP with no exhale relief, you could run hoses from another room and it wouldn't matter.

Unlike his passengers who died screaming as the car went over the cliff...
