Re: Semi-OT reminder: Never leave melatonin out for the visiting grandkids to get to.
We had neighbors who lost a toddler, due to finding his mother's iron supplement. This was in the early 60's. Almost anything can be deadly. Kids are very clever at getting things open. "Child-safe" containers are little more than a challenge to a bored child. Lock and key is better; at least until ...

Right after my post, I watched Adam Savage build a guitar case for Eric Idle on YT.

I would trust what you see on the machine itself.
That data is closer to the source--and MyAir is slightly suspect, IMHO.

Re: Medicare and Masks
So, "Mask of patient's choice" is no longer acceptable?
That kind of makes it harder to get started successfully.

Cellular signals are dependent on the locations of cell towers, as seen outdoors. --big, tall constructions, with large-ish dish antennae hanging off the side. Wi-fi requires a compatible device within a few FEET, like in McD's or at home. The hardware is very small, as is the signal strength. Linka...

Re: valves seem to close when I exhale
If you are looking at a flexible valve at the front of a full face mask, that is the ANTI-ASPHYXIA valve. It should be closed unless your machine is not running, like in a power outage. The exhaust vents always release gases while the cpap is running. They wash out carbon dioxide, which you want gon...

Re: A question to those who have successfully mouthtaped
Does Trident contain xylitol?
I hear that's why xylimelts work.
If so, Trident could be an alternative to xylimelts.
Thank you, Granny, for sharing.

Or a FLIR (infrared) camera.
My heated tubing never feels "warm" to my skin.

Re: H20 Distillery
Our local water is 13 grains hard; and reverse osmosis water leaves a white powder. RO does not correct hard water. Our distiller is similar to the one posted by Zonker, but candy apple red. The bullfrog has to delime it very frequently to maintain efficiency. It still beats the heck out of buying j...
