After using the CPAP from Feb. to August, my electricity bill has also been refigured for Jan.-June. I am on a budget payment plan and the payment has increased from $76 to $115! I live in a one bedroom condo. How can this be? It is the CPAP running all night (with water canister) which is the new electric addition. Do others have these big increases in electric bills? Is there a way to eliminate this cost? Why aren't we told of this huge cost before we agree to it?

You don't breathe distilled watter in a CPAP machine, but the air brought into the machine is passed through distilled water before it is sent to your mask. This humidifies the air and prevents your mouth and/or nose from drying out while you use the machine. If distilled water is not available, you can use plain tap water, but: The reservoir in the machine will have to be cleaned more often and more thoroughlyif your tap water is heavily chlorinated, you may find the smell of it unpleasant
