No, the blue light inside the humidifier is decidedly NOT a UV light.
If it were, it would be listed and promoted as a feature,
and the price would increase by $70-$120.

Yes, but they're all natural, holistic, organic, free-range germs, not tank grown artificial CPAP germs.
Those are the kind of germs I prefur too. They taste better, and are stronger. They are survivors, but still make good flavoring in noodles. Jim

2 months since I cleaned my tank, and 10 days since I washed my mask. Pray for me"
(The upside is, my leak line is the lowest it's ever been with this mask.)

The germs and bacteria must be doing a great job in sealing the leaks!

Maybe they are holding hands.
I thought I heard then singing, "kumbaya--something"

For some strange reasion, I have the "chill" and"fever" tracks from dr. Mario going through my head. The Only thing we are doing with all this blasted "germaphobib" is letting the strongest germ survive. Here is my feeling. Only use distilled watter. If upu can afford a home distiller, then make your own every day. Keep your gear clean. No need for anti microbial treatment unless you have been sick.

I boil my water and then put in a little rat poison to kill off any remaining bacteria. Course I have a block of Urainum 232 in the bottom of my humidifier. Of course I think the rat poison is overkill, but you can never be to safe.
