>replacing it is pretty expensive.

The water tank for the AirSense 11 is something like $29 and it's a consumable item that's covered by your insurance. I just get a new one every six months.

I don't know - I guess because you could get build-ups of minerals and other things inside them and it's probably better not to rely on people cleaning them given that they're medical devices that blow air into your lungs?
