Cleaning equipment question

Post by dorilda » Sat Oct 06, 2007 6:25 pm

It has been two weeks now on Bipap. Average about 7 hrs on Swift wake up about same time every morning. Have been washing 6ft hose, humdifier container and nasal pillow every morning and letting air dry. From reading a topic recently seems like most people do not do this. Should I continue or do it less often? I want to thank Slinky about boiling the water. She said I should use detilled water so I did go and get some that same day. I wouldn't want to do anything to harm the equipment. I noticed while driving today that I am not sleepy at all whereas before I had to fight the urge to close my eyes. So thankful for that.
