Overview
This replacement tank holds the water for the humidifier built into the Philips DreamStation 2. The machine warms it as you sleep, adding moisture that helps keep your airway from drying out through the night.
Philips made it for the DreamStation 2 CPAP and Auto CPAP, Advanced models included. This is part 1142832, the full tank with its lid, so it replaces a worn set in one order.
Key features:
- 325 mL capacity: One fill to the max line is meant to last a typical night, according to Philips.
- Complete with lid: Tank and lid arrive together, which saves ordering the lid separately when both are showing their age.
- Hooks and a front tab: Hooks on the lid catch the tabs on the base, and the front tab snaps it shut so you can feel it close.
- Dishwasher safe: Rated dishwasher safe by Philips for the lid, base, and seal, top rack only and no more often than weekly.
- Straight in, straight out: It slides along tracks under the base and latches into place once it's fully home in the machine.
- One-year service life: Philips puts the tank's expected service life at one year, which makes it easy to know when a spare is due.
It's the right tank for anyone sleeping with a DreamStation 2 who wants a fresh one or a spare for when the first wears out. Original DreamStation owners need a different part, because their humidifier is a separate module on the back.
Note: This tank does not fit the first-generation DreamStation humidifier, which uses its own Philips part. Check that your machine says DreamStation 2 before ordering.
How it works
Taking it out
Wait about 15 minutes after therapy for the heater plate to cool. Press the indented area on top, grip the tank top and bottom, and slide it away from the device. Lift the lid by its front tab and pour out what's left.
Filling and refitting
Stand the base on a flat surface and fill it with distilled water up to the lines at the back and sides, never while it's attached. Hook the lid over the base, press down until it snaps, and slide the tank back until it latches.
Daily and weekly care
Philips says to wash the lid, base, and seal separately every day, or run them through a dishwasher weekly, top rack only. For weekly disinfection, soak them in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes, rinse, and air dry. Press the seal back into the rear of the base until it sits fully down.

Humidity without an extra box
The DreamStation 2 heats this tank from inside the machine, so moist air reaches your mask with no separate module on the nightstand. Philips says a tank filled to the line should last through a typical sleep session.
A whistle that isn't your mask
If you hear leaking and the mask fits well, Philips lists a missing or loose tank seal as one of the causes. Check that the seal is pressed fully into the back of the base, the tank is latched, and the tube is attached.
Slides out on its own tracks
Tracks underneath guide the tank in and out of the machine in one straight motion. Taking it out also opens up the filter area and the SD card slot, so routine upkeep starts in the same place.
Lid with seal
A seal between the lid and the base holds the water in, and it pulls free so each part gets washed.
Top-rack friendly
Philips allows a weekly dishwasher cycle for the lid, base, and seal, as long as they sit on the top rack.
Press to release
Pressing the indent on top unlatches the tank, and a grip underneath helps you slide it away from the machine.
Three-side fill lines
Max fill lines on the back and sides let you check the water level from whichever angle you're pouring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my original DreamStation?
No. The first DreamStation uses a separate humidifier that clips onto the back, with its own tank. This one fits the DreamStation 2 CPAP and Auto CPAP, including the Advanced models.
Do I need the version with the lid?
Philips sells the tank with a lid, without a lid, and the lid on its own. This listing is the complete set, so it's the one to choose if your lid is cracked or missing.
How do I wash the DreamStation 2 tank?
Philips says to take the lid, base, and seal apart and wash them daily in warm water with mild liquid dish soap, using a soft brush for a minute. Rinse each piece for a minute and let them air dry.
How often should the water tank be replaced?
Philips lists an expected service life of one year for the tank. Replace it sooner if you notice cracks, leaks, or worn parts when you take it apart.
Can I use tap water in it?
Philips specifies room-temperature distilled water only, with no chemicals or additives. Anything else may irritate your airway or damage the tank, according to its manual.
