    You've got to be FN kidding me. I went to four different stores and none of them had it. Out of curiosity I typed "distilled water shortage" into Google and found out there is a nationwide shortage. So, how are truckers with CPAP machines supposed to stay in compliance?

    I don't use a CPAP machine but can you use purified water ( reverse osmosis)?

    Stores at home have only gotten it sporadically. Local Albertsons hasnt had any for about 3 months. I grab a couple gallons whenever i come across it but still seem to be constantly about to run out.

    Ive had to use purified water several times. Better than tap water but still leaves a bunch of gunk behind in the cpap.

    Go with reverse osmosis water, or there is a Brita type filter called a Zero water filter that produces shockingly pure water.

    I just use tap water, and clean the reservoir with vinegar once a week. Seven years without a problem!

    Put some milk in it. You can get nourishment and sleep at the same time.

    Wife and I haven’t experienced it yet. I bring at least 3 1 gallon jugs from the house to the truck which lasts me about 5 weeks typically.
    We usually get 5 jugs at one time during grocery shopping.
