What could happen if you use leftover distilled water in cpap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CPAP: If you are not rinsing / emptying out the CPAP water chamber regularly, residue can build up as well as mold or other organisms that can cause infection. Best to add new distilled water right before use at night.
