I think this old thread needs to fade away and not be revived again.
So.....I will be locking this thread.....
that way no one will resurrect it again.

I found this study on the use of H2O2 in nebulizer. The subject of this thread is NOT nebulizers. I apologize for reviving an old post Yet, you did it anyway. Sigh. I knew I shouldn't have never approved the new account person's post who resurrected a long dead zombie thread. Just look at the crap ...

I apologize for reviving an old post, but I thought there might be several here interested in new research about this topic, and my looking into it is actually how I found this forum. I found this study on the use of H2O2 in nebulizer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ Most studi...

Could it be that red bacteria?

It is something that grows in moist areas. Can be difficult to remove and from what I have read, is generally considered to be harmless.

If it is, Vinegar/water or Hydrogen Peroxide should be able to remove it until the next time.

... leave a hose or other equip to dry. I never leave my chamber open to air dry for those reasons. But I don't usu have to clean it and if I do I use peroxide or vinegar and rinse with distilled but think its futile to dry it since I will be putting more water in it. Just make sure the label doesn't ...

... be safe and effective in sterilizing CPAP equipment. I know nothing about Steramine so can't answer that. I will say if you get a spray bottle of Peroxide from the Dollar store you can squirt that when you see this mold. I am definitely not a germaphobe but I noticed mold growing on the silicon ...

... me nausea meds and motion sickness meds. I googled how to get rid of inner ear fluid. They things I've tried are a 50/50 mix of alcohol/hydrogen peroxide in ear, swimmers war drops, gargling with salt water, and nasal rinses. Pretty much did all those at the same time as I was feeling so horrible. ...

I have been using about one teaspoon of Food Grade 3% Hydrogen Peroxide in my Resmed Cpap machine reservoir for two years now and never had to clean it. The distilled water stays fresh as ever...oddly, I haven't had a cold or any other respiratory infection ...

Probably a coincidence.

Many people report the number of colds and respiratory infections they contract drops dramatically after starting to use CPAP. And they are not using H2O2.

Some have done likewise--it seems to be harmless.
I use a teaspoon of bottom shelf vodka when the fungus creature invades.

These byproducts of energy production will damage cells if not neutralized and removed from the cells. They cause many different pathologies ...

Today's Hydrogen Peroxide Trivia H2O2 is produced naturally in cell mitochondria. Once it has served its purpose, the body has a way of neutralizing it to prevent damage. Mitochondria are considered the major cellular site for hydrogen ...

I can't speak to the safety of putting hydrogen peroxide in your water. However, I do know that if you put vinegar in the water chamber, the top of the heater plate inside the water chamber will degrade. My father-in-law did this to clean his water ...
