Philips Respironics DreamStation 2 CPAP Water Tank

Tips for Philips Respironics DreamStation 2 CPAP Water Tank

Proper Filling

Always fill the water tank to the marked maximum fill line, which is typically at 325 mL. Overfilling can lead to water entering the CPAP machine, potentially damaging the device.

Regular Cleaning

Clean the water tank daily with warm, soapy water to prevent any build-up of minerals or bacteria. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains, and allow it to air dry completely before reassembling and using. Visit our cleaning solutions for CPAP products.

Weekly Deep Cleaning

Consider a deeper clean once a week with a mixture of water and vinegar (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) to disinfect and remove any stubborn mineral deposits. Rinse thoroughly after this cleaning.

Check for Wear and Damage

Regularly inspect the water tank for any signs of wear, cracks, or other damage. A compromised tank can lead to leaks that might damage the CPAP machine or reduce its effectiveness.

Timely Replacement

Replace the water tank every six months to ensure optimal performance and hygiene. Regular replacement can prevent issues related to wear and tear that might not be immediately visible.

Use Distilled Water

To minimize the risk of mineral buildup, always use distilled water in your CPAP machine's water tank. This practice will help extend the life of the water tank and the overall device.

Ensure Proper Installation

Make sure the water tank is correctly installed in the DreamStation 2 machine. Improper installation can lead to air leaks that might affect the CPAP therapy's effectiveness.
