I linked you back because the answer to your question is there.Country4ever wrote:Maybe I'm dense........but you linked me back to this thread. My machine has the option of slimline or regular.
It is not a heated hose slimline.
I'm wanting to know if anyone has used both, and has noticed a difference.
the *ONLY* advantage to a slimline hose is that it's LIGHTER.
if you have a bipap with high pressures, you shouldn't use one because it creates too much flow restriction, which is why resmed sells a larger heated hose, not just the original slimline heated hose.
for normal users, there's no difference in the received treatment, as long as you have your machine set up properly (having selected the right tube size).
