    How do you clean your tank,hose, mask? I was told to soak in water and vinegar.

    This is true
    Go heavier on the vinegar than what they say and definitely don’t use tap water in your tank
    Use distilled water only

    X2 also if you have insurance, when they call for replacement masks ect. every 6 months, get them

    I use straight vinegar to clean the reservoir.

    I learned the hard way my first week to clean the mask daily. The bridge of my nose looked like a pimple faced teen’s.

    It’ll take time for your skin to get used to it. I wash mine in soap and water and then rinse in a vinegar/water mix. I had 2 different masks at first and switched nightly for awhile until I got used to them. I’ve had a CPAP for over 15 years now.
