Sleep apnoea water softener

Sleep apnoea

Sleep apnoea is an increasingly well-known condition in the Netherlands. In sleep apnoea, breathing stops for more than 10 seconds during sleep. In people with severe sleep apnoea, breathing pauses of up to 1.5 minutes are sometimes recorded. As a result, sufferers are unable to enter deep sleep, which can lead to extreme tiredness during the day.

To help them sleep better, many patients with sleep apnoea therefore use a CPAP machine. The CPAP machine blows air under pressure into the throat and/or nose. This keeps the throat open, so the patient no longer snores and the breathing pauses no longer occur.

Easier to clean CPAP

CPAP machines need to be cleaned regularly because, amongst other things, limescale builds up inside them. If you use a water softener So this won’t be a problem for you. It also means that dirt no longer sticks to the limescale. As a result, thanks to the descaled water, the CPAP machine is much easier to clean.

Water softener for a CPAP machine

Untreated tap water contains varying amounts of limescale. With a Mooiwater water softener removes limescale particles from the water. Customers of Mooiwater who also suffer from sleep apnoea have found that, thanks to descaled water, they need to clean their CPAP machine less often and that it works more effectively.

‘A brilliant product that every sleep apnoea patient who uses a CPAP at night should have. The air humidification works much better because there’s no limescale in the water, and the machine, the tube and the mask stay clean.’

T. van Duinen, a customer of Mooiwater.

What is a water softener?

A water softener removes lime from tap water and prevents limescale build-up. As a result, appliances with heating elements use less energy. In addition, appliances that use water will need replacing less often, you’ll need to use less soap and cleaning products, and softened water is good for your skin and hair. A water softener is also known as a water descaler, water conditioner or water filter.

Hard water, your skin and your hair

Washing your hair regularly with hard water makes it drier and harder to comb. That’s why it’s better for your hair to use soft, limescale-free water. After washing, your hair will be softer, cleaner and shinier. You won’t need to use conditioner.

The dermatologist Menno Gaastra, mentioned above, says in the same interview in the Volkskrant: ‘With soft water, less limescale builds up on your hair, which often results in softer hair. You also need less shampoo and shower gel.’
