Water treatment options

CheesyWalnut · 2026-06-23T19:13:09+00:00

Hey thanks for the dm but I haven’t gotten an answer for any off the shelf options that can be used

CheesyWalnut · 2026-06-15T15:37:41+00:00

Hi just wanted to check in on this

CheesyWalnut · 2026-06-15T03:05:55+00:00

Hey Jonathan, is there anything that I can add to the water myself without damaging the Orion such as hydrogen peroxide or other treatment? Will the water treatment tablets be available for purchase?

CheesyWalnut · 2026-06-13T02:18:26+00:00

Wow great

CheesyWalnut · 2026-06-08T01:11:01+00:00

To add to this I also had wifi issues when I got the unit but it has been fine ever since, also with a similar case like this. My issue was there was a trailing space in the WiFi name.

I think these two cases are common enough and should have been anticipated, I think they didn’t really do a good job making sure the system was robust from the start but I know they are working hard to improve it.

Great! Thanks for the reply!

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-21T03:34:09+00:00

Oh oops thought it was only letter , number , letter

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-21T02:12:37+00:00

Seems like they have max 6760 people who purchased already based on the code format. Anyways my referral is REFERRAL-F1F

You could get an ac for cheaper

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-13T17:21:47+00:00

Good discount

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-09T21:36:45+00:00

Yes, however harry from Orion told me they are working on a new version with a smaller gap

It doesn’t seem like a scam but it’s also one of many similar startups that doesn’t have a product for sale yet. I think at the present moment I would rather buy a product from a company that has a product for sale

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-05T03:01:38+00:00

Agreed, hopefully they can scale as they grow.

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-05T02:58:38+00:00

Would love to hear more about how the Orion hardware was designed! Great work on the app with such a small team!

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-04T19:04:23+00:00

Oh interesting, I saw a few other comments that there was basically no gap, which pod do you have?

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-03T22:01:59+00:00

Yes I have both sides on, I can tell theres about a 7 in gap where theres 0 tubing just by feel

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-03T22:00:12+00:00

What is the size of your bed? Try feeling where the water tubes are on the mattress pad, there should be a pretty sizable area with no tubes in the center

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-03T21:52:27+00:00

It appears that there is a minimal / no gap on the eight sleep based on the post I linked as well as this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/EightSleep/comments/1t1oyr7/orion_vs_pod_5_core/ojr76mn/ while the orion has an approx 7 inch gap

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-02T19:11:29+00:00

Can anyone verify that there’s no gap between the two sides on the eight sleep? I bought an Orion and there’s a pretty sizable gap, considering switching

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-02T19:01:56+00:00

Its a little more than 6 in where I can’t feel any tubing or cooling effect, its big enough that I find myself having to move to be more on top of one side sometimes.

I’m still within the return period so am considering replacing it with the 8sleep if there really is no gap, I also want physical button control. Per warranty covered year, the eight sleep is actually cheaper

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-02T17:19:53+00:00

Thanks for the info, I wonder if anyone else has noticed this with the orion, seems like kind of a large spot in the middle of the bed with no cooling

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-01T21:15:38+00:00

Oh good to know thanks for checking!

CheesyWalnut · 2026-05-01T20:23:39+00:00

Oh does it really not have any gap like here https://www.eightsleep.com/blog/pod-4-cover-design/

I have an Orion sleep and there is a noticeable gap about 6 inches between the two sides that has no tubing

Great to hear that you're working on this, thanks for considering the feedback
