1. A sleep apnea treatment system comprising:

  • a hose with a hose magnetic assembly at an end of the hose;

    a blower with a complementary blower magnetic assembly and a retainer that prevents the complementary blower magnetic assembly from separating from the blower, the complementary blower magnetic assembly constructed to freely rotate relative to the retainer, wherein the hose magnetic assembly experiences a magnetic attraction to the blower complementary magnetic assembly when the hose end is brought into close proximity to the blower, wherein the magnetic attraction is sufficiently strong enough to bring the hose end into contact with the blower;

    the blower further adapted to produce a flow of pressurized air to the hose when the hose end is in contact with the blower; and

    wherein the hose magnetic assembly and the complementary blower magnetic assembly further configured such that these two assemblies can rotate relative to the retainer and the hose can be attached without rotational orientation dependency.
