CPAP filters trap dust, allergens, and airborne particles, preventing them from entering the machine and your airways.
Are all CPAP filters the same?
No, there are two main types:
- Disposable filters (made of paper or synthetic fibers, replaced every 2-4 weeks)
- Reusable filters (washable foam filters, replaced every 3-6 months)
How often should I replace my CPAP filter?
Disposable filters: Every 2-4 weeks or sooner if dirty.
Reusable filters: Wash weekly and replace every 3-6 months.
Can I clean and reuse a disposable CPAP filter?
No, disposable filters are designed for one-time use and should be replaced, not cleaned.
What happens if I don’t change my CPAP filter?
A dirty filter can reduce air quality, block airflow, and strain the machine, potentially causing damage.
How do I know when my CPAP filter needs changing?
If you notice discoloration, dust buildup, a musty smell, or reduced airflow, it’s time to replace the filter.
Do CPAP filters help with allergies?
Yes, ultra-fine filters help trap allergens like pollen and dust mites, improving air quality for users with allergies.
