Cleaning S9 Climate Slim Line hOse

Post by MoonBear » Tue Dec 28, 2010 4:23 pm

Hi,

It looks like the box which contained my S9 with the SLimLine Heated hose was mistakenly thrown out. I am hoping someone will write me with how to clean the hose. it's been over a week and so I really need to attend. I sure hope it dries fast! Thank you very much for the counsel. I appreciate it.

Namaste,
MoonBear

I usually just run some soapy water through the hose every 2 weeks, followed by just water to rinse. Then, to dry it, I hook it back up to the machine and turn it on for just a second to get the "cool down" cycle started--on Resmed machines it will blow a light amount of air through the machine and that usually does it--dry by the time I go to bed.

No need to panic. Some here believe steadfastly in cleaning their hose no less than once every three months, whether it needs it or not!
