The Resmed website says "ResMed has observed that prolonged and repeated use of an ozone device may eventually cause internal damage to a ResMed machine, leading to an increase in motor noise. The ResMed limited warranty excludes damage to ResMed machines caused by use of ozone devices.
You may prefer the Lumin Cleaner. No ozone. Also the Sleep8 and the Purify O3 does not introduce any ozone into the CPAP. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I've been using Distilled Water and washing Water Resivwoir, Hose and Mask in Palmolive Anti-Bacterial soap for 7 years 365 days/year. Soup also removes skin oil from mask cushion. No expensive ozone filters.
Know of one that does not leave any kind of scent I’m having a terrible time finding one that doesn’t leave an odor afterwards I’m very sensitive to it.
With the soclean and the dreamstation. does the reservoir have to have water in it during the clean cycle? I ask because my reservoir is usually empty by the time I wake up in the morning and don't fill it until bedtime. Thanks
Is it normal for discoloration on the nasal pillows? I have a sleep8 cleaner and after about three uses I started noticing discoloration on the nasal pillows. I use the resmed P30i pillows and the discoloration is right around the removable piece on the front of the mask. I wondering if I should remove that piece when I clean the mask?
I am a cpap user not related in any way to the guy in the video. I used to use one of these devices and then read reliable medical sources that O3 emitted from these devices is damaging to your health. I don’t use my sleep8 anymore except for items to “sterilize” that do not contact my body. I am interested in a uv steralizer.
That would be fine however about 70% of those with CPAP, actually do nothing to clean. This option is perfect for those folks. I’ve seen too many respinfections and trying to help. Thanks for the comment.
I have gotten mold in the area of my DreamStation that holds the water chamber because it stay damp. It appear the SoClean system would eliminate that problem whereas the others you demonstrated would not. Do you have any thoughts on this?
I just hook my machine to end of climit hose hooked to resmed and run it for the 30 minutes let sit for 1.5 hours more so ozone dispensers so cpap,tank and hose gets cleaned. Then use standard tube to hook mask to my machine and zip the mask in reamed case, run same way mask, case get sterilized.

Thanks for a great video covering so many options so clearly. Very helpful.
Thank you!! You are most welcome.
This clearly shows me what I can do with the hose, mask and the humidifier. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thakyou, sir. Best demo on TH-cam.
Thanks to you as well. Much appreciated!
I have the same CPAP machine and the only way I can control the temperature is with the heated hose

@@affinityhm Thank you!
Do you have concerns over the recall of Phillips Cpap machines?

Do I need to clean these daily?
Know of one that does not leave any kind of scent I’m having a terrible time finding one that doesn’t leave an odor afterwards I’m very sensitive to it.
The Lumin uses UV light for cleaning.
With the soclean and the dreamstation. does the reservoir have to have water in it during the clean cycle? I ask because my reservoir is usually empty by the time I wake up in the morning and don't fill it until bedtime. Thanks
Either way it works the same. So no there does not have to be water in the reservoir for it to do its job. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Good question
Is it normal for discoloration on the nasal pillows? I have a sleep8 cleaner and after about three uses I started noticing discoloration on the nasal pillows. I use the resmed P30i pillows and the discoloration is right around the removable piece on the front of the mask. I wondering if I should remove that piece when I clean the mask?
Yes I’ve seen some discoloration. If you use wipes on the mask from time to time it will help. Personally I wouldn’t remove parts before cleaning.

Do you have to empty the water out of the reservoir before using the So Clean 2 on the RedMed 10?
It’s not required every day but should be emptied and replaced every other day at least.
Why can't yu use the Lumin to clean the hose?
Aileen Beyer in the Lumin drawer the light could not penetrate to the inside of the tube. That’s why the bullet is needed.
What about SoClean and recall from Phillips.
SoClean is not good with Philips units.
Can any of these be used for people with asthma? I bought one that made my asthma really bad.
Aileen Beyer hi. Yes. I would suggest the Lumin. It cleans using light, instead of ozone.
@@affinityhm thank you. I did not realize that the ozone cleaners would affect my asthma so much.
@@aileenbeyer5559 ozone takes 2 to 3 hours to change back to oxygen so you are supposed to wait for that time befire using your mask and machine.
@@kinglord5429 I waited longer than that. If you read the small print in the So Clean commercial it says not to use if you have asthma.
You missed the best and cheapest option. A bowl, warm water & soap

Any of these cleaners will effectively sanitize the water chamber. After mold has built up to this point I recommend a new chamber.

I like soft clean
thanks for watching!!
What about the blue filter?
Are you referring to the SoClean charcoal filter?
@@affinityhm the cpap filter... does it stay in place
Oh yes indeed. That filter stays in place.
@@affinityhm thank you for your reply.
Why does my resmed smell like burnt plastic
Not sure. May need to get it checked out by your supplier.
Great video but the resmed will void warranty due the ozone is there an alternative
