Customer Reviews
Worth It
TEXAS TIM – MAY 08, 2011
"This should be a mandatory part of the CPAP prescription. I don't have to worry about how to get the hoses dry and if they are growing something in the moisture. Well worth it."
Excellent
MIKE, MI – MAY 05, 2011
"Working extremely well right out of the box. Would recommend to anyone."
Finally, a way to dry my mask parts!
GREGORY A, IL – APRIL 09, 2011
"I've searched high and low for a method of drying my mask and hose quickly and easily. I have found that method in the Hurricane CPAP Equipment Dryer! A little bit large, but it has to be in order to accommodate the hose. Despite it's size, it works great and I don't know how I got along without it!"
Great Product
BRAD M, IL – APRIL 04, 2011
"I would disinfected my CPAP nasal pillow and tubing every night with Control III, then rinse with hot water. Drying it was the problem. I would the gear around like a helicopter to try to get the water out. I still would get several drips of water back into the mask. This will dry most of the gear in 30 minutes or less."

Information
You should always shake your cleaned, wet CPAP supplies over a sink or basin to remove any extra water after rinsing. This prevents large amounts of water from pooling in the dryer, possibly causing an over-flow of the water tray and potentially preventing the items from becoming thoroughly dry.
Always empty the water tray after each drying cycle of supplies. CPAP headgear should be thoroughly squeezed of excess water before placing in the dryer for best results.
Recommendations for Best Drying Results
All items placed in the dryer should be disassembled for cleaning and drying
Separate the CPAP humidifier chamber from its base if possible
Separate the CPAP mask cushion or nasal pillows from the mask frame
Headgear can remain attached to the mask frame for drying
Place smaller parts in the bottom portion of the basket with the narrower "basket webbing"
Insert just one end of the CPAP hose over the hose-port. There is a notched hole, which must be kept clear to help evacuate excess water in the tubing. If you are drying CPAP hoses with a pressure-line in them, only place the end of the CPAP hose over the hose-port that does not have the pressure line protruding out of the side of the hose end
Air Filter Maintenance
Reusable foam filters should be replaced when they deteriorate and begin to fall apart, much as a sponge does. The foam filter should be washed with a mild detergent monthly and should be replaced every 6 months or more if the foam is torn.
