CPAP Water Tank Replacement Schedule

Q: How often should I replace the water tank on my cpap?

A: Your CPAP water tank should be replaced every 6 months.

Key factors affecting water tank replacement

·       Manufacturer timeline: It is a good idea to follow the manufacturer guideline for water tank replacement. This timeline helps maintain the health of your machine.

·       Cracks: Water tanks can often develop cracks or lose the proper seal. If you notice a crack or leak, you should replace your tub right away.

·       Mold or bacteria: Your water tank should be dried out daily and cleaned weekly with a mild detergent to prevent mold or bacteria from occurring. You should also run your cpap with distilled water in the tank to prevent mineral deposits. If you notice buildup that can’t be removed with cleaning, you should replace your water tank.

It can be difficult to keep your water tank in good shape, but it’s critical to the proper function of your machine. If there are leaks or cracks in the tank, your cpap cannot maintain the proper air pressure and flow for good function. Also, any build up of mold, minerals, or bacteria can be unhealthy and should be avoided. Keep an eye on your water tank and replace it every 6 months, or more often, if needed
