I just purchased a SoClean machine to clean my equipment. Has anyone else used it? I’m noticing that it’s kinda loud when it runs. Is that normal?

SoClean can't "Clean" the CPAP equipment, since it is just a weak ozone generator that runs dilute ozone through the machine and mask. Actually there is no verified proof that it even kills bacteria though it claims to do that. I am a 32+ year CPAP patient and I do CLEAN my mask and hose and water reservoir with brushes and warm soapy water. You can buy a LOT of detergent for the $300. or so that the SoClean costs and tap water is rather inexpensive. I suggest that the CPAP mask and hose benefit far more from washing than from flowing dilute ozone through it.

Not successfully, because So No Clean doesn't clean anything, you must clean anything you want cleaned first by hand. To me it sounds like washing the car before you take it to the car wash. Jim

Soclean is for suckers, what those in the con industry call "marks" and if you'd bothered to search here, you'd find tons of information saying it's a waste of money.

Seems like not a week goes by that someone posts the exact same question.

Our deepest condolences.
It is infuriating that we cannot head people off before they get scammed.

Hi Sleepless... flightco is a long-time member of the forum. Hope this gives you enough information to make your own informed decision:

I will give you some facts, and I base the facts on the fact that I am the one who works in the industry of low temperature sterilzation

1. So Clean claims they use the same technology as is used in hospitals. LIE - the hospital ozone sterilizers cost upwards of 100,000.00 and require an O2 farm (a room with 15 to 20 tall O2 cylinders) to provide pure oxygen to extract the ozone. Besides the fact that SoClean lied about this, why on earth do you think a 300.00 device can even come close to what a 100,000.00 device can do. If SoClean was validated to sterilize or even high level disinfect, hospitals would have hundreds of them rather than the 100K devices. The SoClean just does not have the power to do what you think it does.

2. It does not clean. Period. You think it does, place a small dab of peanut butter in your hose and see if it is still there when the cycle is complete. You think this is not a good test, it is the basis of the VA soil test, the test that all medical cleaners must pass or they cannot claim to clean.

3. Amazon reviews - nothing but feel good stories. I have not read one Amazon review that can factually claim that the SoClean kills germs. If you know of one, please post the link because I would like to read it. What is the basis of a 5 star review when all they can go on is they like it? Meaningless.

4. I did own a SoClean on the 30 day trial, when I realized what it was vs. the claims they make I returned it under the 30 day return policy. Why not just get one of the room ozone fans and hang your mask in front of it, they would both do the same thing which is nothing.

I am just repeating the same thing I have typed here about a hundred times; for now on I will just say it is awesome, give the scammers your money, you will love it.

I promise that I have not used your equipment or your machine.

Try making it wear sneakers.

I will NOT get sucked into another SoClean thread. I will NOT, I tell you. I WILL NOT!

you joined this forum on may 3 2017. in all that time, you've NEVER READ ANYTHING HERE ABOUT SOCLEAN?!?!?!

it has never occurred to you to do a FORUM SEARCH on this subjet?

FFS....

Now that you mention it, sir, after I drank one bottle of ShillClean, all my rhumatism, bunions, and CPAP-cleaning nightmares immediately healed right up and disappeared into thin air, just like my money. I highly recommend it.

What it needs is its own sticky! Then we could point people to it, or away from it , thus eliminating one source of friction in the forum. It would also give a few people additional time to get outside and do some skipping.

How about instead of getting in a religious war about it we simply answer the OPs question.

Yes it is normal for it to make a lot of noise when it is running. This is the period when it is generating the ozone. It should run for 7 minutes by default. Don’t open it during this time period and don’t open it or use your CPAP for 2 hours after, while the light is orange.

Does the American Sleep Apnea Association (or any foreign equivalent) take a position on this? I googled for that but was unable to find anything, positive or negative.

Not really, NO Clean gets enough free advertising, here By their Shills, and people coming here asking about No Clean but are unable to search or read previous posts on the subject. All because they can't find true facts and process them for themselves. Jim

Maybe if any time the work So Clean comes up in a post, it could become post delete fodder, would be come a good thing.
