I am embarrassed to ask as l feel so daft, but..... I took all the pipes etc off my C.Pap machine to clean & l can't work out how the pipe from the humidifier joins up with the air machine, or if it even does!!! Help! 🫣

Oh no! That's the kind of thing I'd do! I have no idea I'm afraid, but logically they must join or else the air wouldn't be humidified! Are there any pics on Google or the brands' website? If you need it tonight (I expect you do) I think you can run it without the humidifier?? Hope someone else can be more help xx

Update!! I think l've figured it out! The long tube that normally goes from machine to mask has to push onto humidifier... then the shorter tube from humidifier goes into the usual machine. This means that the air l breathe in will firstly pass through humidifier! Fingers crossed l have this right!!! Thanks so much everyone for very helpful comments! Nighty night! πŸŒ™ 😴

I did something similar - removed both tubes from my hearing aids at the same time to clean them! I now have it written on the box - RED is Right - as there is a coloured dot on the aid!
