- G'day, mates.
Today I wanna show you a really cool way
you can remove the foam
from your DreamStation 1 turbine casing without making any
(bird chirping)
holes in it.
All right, let's do it.
All right, now, first things first,
I did not invent this technique,
so I can't take credit for it and I'm not sure who did,
but whoever it is, congratulations, it's really clever
and I think you've done a fantastic job.
Now, for those that follow the channel,
you might remember when we first took the foam out,
we used the Dremel tool, cut some holes in the top
and just pull the foam out
using a rusty old fish hook on the end of a lower
and that was very enjoyable.
That was the first time around
and then we changed it so that you make the holes,
in sessions,
you can do it with the drill as well on the inside,
where the motor sits.
And that way, when you put the lid back on,
everything is all sealed up and that was cool as well.
But with this technique,
as you can see over here I have removed the foam
and there's no holes.
So you don't have to make any changes to the turbine casing,
which is just absolutely brilliant.
So what we're gonna to need is a drill,
these things here which are called drain weasels,
and I'll see if I can zoom in on that.
And you can see the end of the drain weasel there as little
like Velcro hooks on the end of it.
We're gonna to use that to grab the foam through the holes.
So pliers,
you might not necessarily need some of these,
but I've got them here anyway,
that's what I've been using.
And I'm also gonna show you as well while you've taken
your motor out, how you can quickly take out the screws,
give your motor a quick clean as well
just to make sure there's no foam inside the motor.
All right, let's get to it.
Here's one I just done earlier.
You can see here the foam, but I've got another one.
We're gonna take it out of this.
All right, let's do it.
There it goes,
if you wanna watch a video on how you can take apart
your DreamStation 1
so that you can get to this component
and then put it back together, just click the link above,
and that'll take you to a video.
Now, just with your drill,
you want it on a low speed.
So you can see here it says one,
we don't want it on number two.
And with the talk, if you've got talk settings,
I don't think it matters too much,
but what you wanna do is, you just wanna make sure
that you're just going nice and slow.
You don't want it to go really, really fast, okay?
So what we're gonna do here is with our drain weasel,
we need to trim it a bit.
So maybe about six inches
I think is probably good.
So that sort of distance you can see there.
And now we're just gonna put it in our drill.
All right, so it looks like that.
And now for the first side, we'll do, which side will do?
We'll do this side first.
So what we're gonna do
is we're going to put it up through there
so you can see it's going in through there.
Use a little bit force and jam it up in there
and then just nice and slow
(machine drilling)
then you just see it's starting to grip.
It's suddenly starting to grip and turn.
Once it's sort of grip,
you can see it's grip there.
What I do is, I take it out and use pliers.
Just grab some claws and just grab it nice.
Just be gentle,
if you wanna get it out in one piece.
Keep moving it up closer.
Guys, you wouldn't believe that.
I've hit pause for a quick way,
come back and forgot to hit the record button
and that was my last chamber (chuckles).
I cut it out perfect.
That was my last original DreamStation 1 chamber.
I've just done a little bit more footage
using the replacement turbine casing that I got from Amazon.
It's not quite the same
but you get the idea anyway, all right?
(gentle music)
- All right, now because I've broke this second part
when I was getting it out through this hole,
this one here, is a little bit harder.
It was just a little bit more challenging.
Took a little bit more time to get it out,
but so try and keep it in one piece if you can.
It just nice and slow, nice and easy.
When you pull it out, don't pull it out too fast,
try and keep you in one piece.
Now, while you have taken your DreamStation 1 apart,
you might as well, while you've done it,
open up your turbine, and you've got a good clean as well.
This is one of the things I actually like about Phillips,
is that you can take up the turbine,
open it up and clean it.
Whereas the resume turbines are completely sealed,
you can't really get access to the fans.
You can try doing a little bit of air compression,
but it's quite challenging either way.
So some of you might have seen
that S9 video I did a couple of days back,
showing how much dirt and agrarian dust
was in that S9 turbine.
If it was like this,
you can just pop off that in part there,
just pull off this piece of rubber, and then you are done.
Take a look at that,
and if you've got just a little brush, a foam brush,
lemme do this,
if you've got like a little blower as well,
you could just do that.
Just give it a good old clean.
Anyway just give it a good clean any way you like,
and then put it back together,
the screws back in,
and then you've got yourself
a nice clean turbine ready to go.
That's pretty cool.
Thanks for watching guys,
I hope you enjoyed the vid.
