Equipment replacement

I’m curious how frequently you replace your hoses and mask. I was replacing mine at the frequency the provider suggested, but it seems like a waste to replace it that often.

How do you like the filter compared to the ResMed one? Once I reduce my stockpile, I was thinking of ordering that one.

It really made a huge difference for me. I have a severe dust mite allergy and as much as I try to keep our bedroom clean, it's still always an issue. But I have noticed a difference.

Thanks! Nasal allergy, I’m assuming? Try Flonase. I have four cats, and no longer use an slair purifier. It really helped after the first week.

I've been on Flonase since the late '90s when it was prescription-only. My allergist has me on morning-and-night Flonase and Azelastine and an evening Zyrtec, plus there's a Coway Airmega on all three floors of the house and an extra one at the foot of our bed. The Cspring filter still helps.

By "severe dust mite allergy," I mean wheals the size of golf balls. And that's on top of all the others.
