Hydrogen Peroxide for Cpap Machines

I have been using about one teaspoon of Food Grade 3% Hydrogen Peroxide in my Resmed Cpap machine reservoir for two years now and never had to clean it. The distilled water stays fresh as ever...oddly, I haven't had a cold or any other respiratory infection for two years either......a coincidence? The only cautions I can stress is that you use Food Grade H2O2 at 3% and one teaspoon per full reservoir...if less than half, use less H2O2 accordingly. FYI: H2O2 breaks down to water and oxygen.

Some have done likewise--it seems to be harmless.
I use a teaspoon of bottom shelf vodka when the fungus creature invades.
The air smells . . . festive.

Probably a coincidence.

Many people report the number of colds and respiratory infections they contract drops dramatically after starting to use CPAP. And they are not using H2O2.

Call me crazy, but I’ve never felt a need to add chemicals to my distilled water to make it fresh or clean.

I’m more into following the science. Your evidence (one random person who hasn’t been sick for 2 years while huffing hydrogen peroxide) isn’t to me at all compelling.

I prefer to follow the data, which also is common sense to me.
Inhaling hydrogen peroxide can result in:
-nose and throat irritation
-lung irritation
-pulmonary edema, a buildup of fluid in the lungs, which is a medical emergency and can be fatal
