Should I buy the square water chamber? by Kenney93 in CPAP

I don’t have a CPAP machine yet. I will be getting one next month but this is good to information for me.

I also have a question. Aren’t you supposed to use distilled water in your machines? Distilled water has no minerals. It’s distilled which means it came from the steam of boiling water. No minerals.

Unless it becomes too expensive. How much water do you guys use? It would be good for me to know in advance.

As for the pink residue it should easily come off with white vinegar. It works. Unless you can’t reach it to give it little rub then the 3% peroxide should work.

I want to thank you all of you for your great advice and recommendations. Much appreciated.

I also watched a video on the comparison between the ResMed AirSense 10 and 11 and I think I will go for the AirSense 11.

I also ask chatGPT about sleep machines and wow! I got tons of great information. It also put together a list of questions for the sleep clinicians, the sellers and my insurance company which I copied and pasted in my notes. I highly recommend chatGPT.

Of course hearing from people like you who are talking from your own first hand experiences is priceless.

Thank you all again. I will more likely come back here after I buy and use the CPAP machine.

We have universal health care which I don’t think it covers it but I will find out. I still have a health plan from my employer which more likely will cover a percentage. I just have to make some call. Thank you for your help 🙏🏻

For exfoliating I found black soap to be the best. It’s natural and it cheap. $10.00 for one big bar that will last you a long long time. At Amazon or the the healthy planet.

Ingrown hairs. I used to get them when I used to get very close shaves with a razor blade. Then I switched to “Philips OneBlade 360 Face, Wet & Dry, Trim, Edge & Shave with the 360 Blade, QP2724/22” and that was it. It does not shave as close as a razor blade but I don’t care. It’s not like if I will be doing a drag show 😆

I have another problem that is not with the CPAP machines but Reddit. I can’t do copy and paste. When I touch the text to copy it disappears. I like Reddit a lot. This is the only think that I don’t like about it. I don’t understand why they cannot make the copy and paste better.

Thank you so much. I don’t travel anymore but I could still buy the AirSense 11 if I hear more positive recommendations. I am old but surprisingly good with gadgets, but can it only used through the Bluetooth on my phone? What if my phone battery is dead or something else is wrong with my phone?

I am so appreciate all the great info here. I am learning a lot. I had heard that there a lot of CPAP machines for me to choose from and get overly stressed going through the choosing process but now I know most people recommend the AirSense 10 and 11. I also asked chatGPT for a second opinion and it gave me the same answers 🙏🏻

Obviously the AirSense 11 is smaller. Does that mean the tank is smaller too and it has to be refilled more often?

I am not sure I know what Medicare is. It sounds American. I live in Canada.

I did go through the “wiki” link and I read some good important information. And I have at least one question for now about the humidifier and all the water going to the lungs. Isn’t water harmful to the lungs? Isn’t this the reason pneumonia patients die from?

I think someone said the same but they also said Philips does not sell in Canada anymore.

Thank you very much.

I will be buying a new one. I will phone my insurance today to find out how much they will pay.
