Re: AirSense 10/Nasal Pillow/Heated Tube -- Terrible Dry Mouth!

I want to love a nasal mask, but can't.

I switched to the F&P Evora. It has a nose pillow attached to a mouth cover. The resmed F30 is nearly the same thing but slightly different sizes.

Re: Airsense 10 - noise from air intake

You can order a new motor off amazon for a bit over $100usd or there are vendors that will replace the motor and repair any sensors and calibrate everything for about $220. There are many youtube videos about how to take it apart and replace the motor. If the sound isn't motor there are a few interi...

Re: High pressure, empty tank every night, dry eyes

I tried to do a DYI version of several different things. All resulted in large puddles of water. So, make sure whatever you do is in something to catch the water. Things I learned the hard way - 1. you need a sealed container with airspace at the top 2. you need tubes to connect both to the water an...

Re: Battery Backup solution for Resmed S9 with H5i

Well, when you consider the extra usable DOD on them they are pretty close to parity or just a bit more expensive. 12v 100ah AGM runs about $180ish, but you can't go below 50%. And you are right, they are typically rated for 10k charge cycles with less than 10% loss of capacity typically. So 10 year...

Re: Battery Backup solution for Resmed S9 with H5i

Instead of a flooded lead acid I am using a LiFePO4 (LFP) chemistry is a better deal. Much higher capacity in a lighter and smaller. Attached is the diagram of what I am using. The whole pack weighs about 30lbs, less than half the weight of a single deep cycle battery. Mine is more flexible than you...

Re: CPAP recommendation (DS1 alternative)

what is the name of the opensource project? I assume aIrbreak? So here is a question - if I already have an aircurve 10 asv would it be possible for me to just download my firmware from the ASV and then just flash it to an airsense 10 and everything work? (note - I can flash firmware on a 3dprinter ...

Re: For sale - AS11 tank + 2 heated tubes

Sorry, nope We tried with the apneaboard and did get help. She just plain cant tollerate the mask being on without a panic attack. And if I roll over in the middle of the night any any of my exhaust air blows in her direction she puts something between us. We returned the machine and are looking at ...
