Re: Distilled water Posted by Rob L on December 16, 2023, 8:41 am, in reply to "Distilled water" Hi Neil You can purchase distilled water in pouches inexpensively at Pollo, the hardware store on the south side of the jardin, next to the new "bubblegum pink" ice cream truck. It is actually sold as distilled water for batteries, but is perfect for CPAP machines. That being said, you do not need to use water at all in your CPAP machine in this humid climate. You will not have any 'dryness' issues here! If you have any questions, email me roblinmex@gmail.com

Re: Distilled water Posted by Ron Smith on December 16, 2023, 9:12 am, in reply to "Re: Distilled water" As Rob says, you don't need to use distilled water in your CPAP machine in this humid environment. and the machine is easier to travel with when the reservoir is left at home. The distilled water at the pharmacy is expensive, and that at the hardware store works fine. I even tried making my own with multiple pans on the stove, but i eventually decide that I didn't need it. ronsmitharchitect@gmail.com

I order a distilled water machine, order two by mistake, so I do have an extra one and it is so easy to make. Let me know of you are interested. Mary Shanti

Re: Distilled water Posted by Neil on December 18, 2023, 7:59 am, in reply to "Distilled water" Gracias for your responses. Nice to know it may not be necessary to use and available if needed. I will not be in LaManzanilla until the first week of the new year.

Re: Distilled water Posted by Julie S on December 18, 2023, 9:43 am, in reply to "Re: Distilled water" Having to use distilled water in the autoclave at the Cisco’s clinics and Rusty having a BiPap and Cpap I recommend you do not use the ‘distilled’ water from the hardware stores , for ironing or pharmacies. They all have additives that I could see in the machine after using them and you would not want to breathe this stuff in. You can buy the real stuff from ‘Infra Medical’ in Manzanillo. The stuff from the pharmacy is not ‘Agua Desmineralizada’. Even Euchari nurses don’t know the difference. It’s very frustrating. If you want directions Google Infra Medical Manzanillo,mx
