Thanks for the video. I’m new to cpap. My mom has the older SoClean model, which I’m not supposed to use with my machine. Your video clarifies for me why the new one is ok. I think I prefer the closed circuit of ozone through the tube.
Great presentation. I would appreciate comments comparing the SoClean 3 to the 2. Mention the 3 does not cycle through the Cpap water reservoir, plus it is more labor intensive in that with the 2 you put items in the unit without having to disconnect the hose. I think I'm going to miss my SoClean2, which gave me 9 years of service. The 3 is also wider, so bummer with my small night table.
I used the SoClean original with my Resmed machine. I loved that it pushed ozone through the machine and water resovoir. This obviously does not do this, probably not needed though since there aren't any instructions to actually clean the machine except the filter and resovoir. In fact my new CPAP machine states that an ozone machine used on the equipment voids all warranties. I guess this is why I have not gotten a new SoClean since it will void my warranty. Although, I really doubt it will do anything to it since it didn't ruin my last one despite using SoClean for 9 years on it.
Surprised to see that the ozone hose no longer connects to the CPAP machine. I have a ResMed 10 with water reservoir. Disconnecting the hose is an inconvenience now since my hose connection is fairly tight. CORRECTION. Connecting to the ResMed 10 is the same as with the SoClean 2 with the ozone hose connecting to the water bath. The filter check valve is not necessary.
The SoClean 3, you now have to disconnect and then reconnect the tubing from the reservoir every time the SoClean 3 is used. The 3 also takes up more space on my nightstand. I dont have to do this disconnect/reconnect my SoClean2. So, what is the advantage of upgrading to a SoClean3? I already have a usb connection on my wall outlet.
I’m wondering if this is to prevent the companies from invalidating the warranty on the machines. I was told not to use a SoClean device because of potential harm to the motor. The 3 would take care of that issue because it’s only running through mask and tube.
Is there a way someone could make a filter for a bpap that has a menthol smell to it that helps support breathing and of coarse the smell in the air. When I go to bed. Everything is clean. The air quality is great in my room due to having a dyson air purifier machine. But the smell through my mask while wearing it smells so bad. So I wash it constantly or just replace the hose or mask but after the first night after washed or replaced then it smells again. So I thought well maybe if that made a filter that is odor fighting and different menthol smells just as original or cherry menthol or orange menthol. Not only making the smell that the air passes from the air through the filter better but still performing just as good as a current filter.
@@CPAPmyway Please do expand on that subject ozone vs. Uv light. . I've gotten used to the awful smell of the ozone most of the time, however it Would be nice if So -clean would research a way to resolve the ozone smell problem as it is very annoying and may be unhealthy, as well! So Clean manufacturer PLEASE Respond!!
Thank you so much! This was very informative to this 73 year old Lady!❤
You are so welcome!

Glad I could help!
I just got a so clean three to replace my original one thank you for the tips, man
You are welcome.

Great point!
That so very helpful. thank you, sir.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much! I was wondering why it wouldn't start. I had overlooked the one time activation! The old brain doesn't function like it used to!😂
Thanks for watching.

Yeh. This is a common conversation from users like you.

I am not sure that I would advise you to upgrade unless you like the feature of not having the adapter connected to your CPAP machine.

What about the basin that holds the distilled water? Can you place that in there also?
It likely will not fit.
What about sanitizing the reservoir also? Doesn't that need to be done too? Will this need a repeat operation and another hour & 15 minutes? Thanks
This is not geared to handle the reservoir. You might can make it happen, but it is not set up for that.
I saw your answer for the reservoir. How do you clean the reservoir? By hand?
Yes. It is light soap and water like a dish. Rinse it very well.
Thank you!!😊
thank you!!
You are welcome.
Can I just connect it to the resmed machine like the So Clean 2? I would like to clean the reservoir as well
Yes you can.
What if you want to interrupt the cycle. I mistakenly restarted when I wanted to open it.
It has to run through a cancellation cycle I believe.
Can i just empty my water reservoir and put it inside the so clean 3 to clean it?
It will most likely not fit.
You might mention too that the unit has a phone charger built into the back?
Yes the USB port is a nice feature on there.

Or maybe even putting drops in the distilled water that is menthol that helps with breathing and smell
That is a very interesting thought.
Connectors don't work with my machine. They aren't they same style connection I have for my heated tube.
Thanks for the input.
is the so clean compatible with Res Med 11 ?
Yes it is.
UVC light vs Ozon which one is better?
I need to do a video on that for a deep dive, but it is really up to you. Both have pros and cons. I need to expand on that soon.
