Please share your actual NUMBERS.
Preferably with your DOCTOR.
If there is an actual problem, it is unlikely putting ice anywhere will help.
I remember someone trying ice, but it was for COMFORT, as I recall.

Exactly, Sheriff.
I did the daily thing until I noticed it was really hard on the stuff I was cleaning.
My stuff lasts a lot longer now.
The DME is none too happy, but I am fresh out of effs for them.

Or wear reading glasses.

How in holy heck does the most obvious solution escape notice!

It took me around 3 months to find my groove.
This is not uncommon.
Hang in there!

Some doctors do not trust the patient to have "too much" information.
Been there, so, yeah, it happens.

Heated tube setting is 78 degrees. I don't understand how the company's Product Development could have approved a water pot mistak...

. . . the rubber . . . Not rubber, but silicone, please. There is no rubber (latex) in any cpap equipment, due to allergies. Simmering silicone parts in water and baking soda can help. Full or extended boiling might be unwise. My nuwave induction hob allows better heat control than any other cooktop.

After checking hose /tank connections, and generally freaking out, I withdrew a piece of paper that was blocking the AIR INTAKE! SILLY, STUPID FROG! To think, I used to prank my c...
