As far as we can tell, not enough sleep apnea to qualify for a machine (well, insurance won't)
So I get to clean a cpap every morning for my husband but not use one! Ah well.
This reminds me I should probably clean my cpap way more than I do...
I clean it every morning because it's just easier to do. Hose is one a week, checking filters and everything once a month. I found unscented dish soap and a toothbrush to scrub it all with. Fuck distilled water though, but the hard water is why I scrub every day.
Noted on cleaning frequency, I need to get better about it, esp the mask itself. Why fuck distilled water if you dont mind me asking? I use distilled water from Krogers and its been totally fine.
I pay for water from the city, and by the gods, I'll use it!
More seriously, the distilled water needs to be purchased, brought inside, used, only for a lot to be wasted (since the machine never gets to dry out, he doesn't sleep long enough) and since I am cleaning it every day, it doesn't build up enough to be an issue.
