Hi, everytime I buy distilled water, it has been ozonated (in the fine print). I am wondering if using ozonated distilled water is poisoning me. I feel better with boiled tap water at this point. Nobody seems to know or care or even have one microgram of curiousity. I think its a serious concern given the ozone issues with CPAP cleaners.

Hi, thank you for bringing this up — it’s a thoughtful and important concern. Ozonated distilled water is commonly found on store shelves, and the “ozonated” label usually means ozone gas was used briefly during the purification process to disinfect the water. Ozone breaks down quickly and doesn’t remain in the water long-term. So generally, ozonated distilled water is considered safe for use in CPAP machines. That said, your sensitivity is valid — especially given the well-documented risks of using ozone-based CPAP cleaners, which can leave harmful residues or affect machine components if not used properly. If you’re feeling better using boiled tap water, it’s possible your body is responding to something specific in the store-bought water, even if it’s subtle. Just keep in mind that regular tap water — even when boiled — can still contain minerals that might build up in your CPAP over time. If you continue to feel unwell using ozonated water, you could try sourcing distilled water from a different brand or supplier, or even look into making your own distilled water at home with a countertop distiller. Your health and peace of mind are what matter most, and it’s absolutely worth paying attention to how your body responds — even if others aren’t asking the same questions
