Re: Heated tubing? Heated humidifier?

Please, explain about that 'rainout' How,where and when does it occurs in this processing of using a heated vs non heated tubing?
You want to find a good compromise between comfort (temperature and humidity) without rainout.

Re: Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset As Replacement For S9?

I was referring to moisture that is generated from the heated water chamber. I apologize for the confusion.

Re: Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset As Replacement For S9?

Oho, I got it wrong. Thank you Pugsy. No machine generates Humidity. I was referring to moisture. In fact, It looks like lots of moisture is my preference.

Pugsy, thank you for feedbacks. That makes sense really. And the volume of water filled in the water chamber is the same for both units. Correct?

Re: Need Help Finding Resmed S9 Replacement

Just out of curiosity, what did you had in mind when you stated here in part, "Word of warning...avoid the AirStart models." Were that a typo when you mentioned 'AirStart'? Do we really have airstart models currently in active service? I bet, you probably were meaning to say AirSense but just is uns...

Re: What Is The Effect of Sleep Apnea On Your Job?

Antonin Scalia, the late former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States died in a hotel with CPAP machine besides him. Can we conclude he had sleep apnea before? Just wondering.

Re: Long-term cancer, etc. risks of CPAP?

The worry of getting cancer may be way to far and unreasonable. Think about it. Since being born, have you not been brushing your teeth with a plastic brush? Cannot we say that direct contact might have exposed you to some kind of BPA to your body? Not sure but just asking.

Re: Sleep Apnea and Alcoholic beverage Consumptions

Five years onward, I continue drinking but in moderation. No issue. Sometimes, will get good sleep with or without two battles of beer. Often tend to limit that to about three bottles. That is all I can share. What's your experiences or updates since the start of this OP?

Re: The Dishwasher Safe Water Chamber for H5i™ Heated Humidifier

I bought my humidifier used, so I can't answer how it was new. But I will say I'm worried about those four tabs breaking so I do what I said in post #2 It is very sturdy unit but I hand wash vs using the dishwasher because I believe eventually the plastic will craze. I have not removed the trim pie...
