Yep - I Need Humidifier

Post by edatlanta » Sun Apr 08, 2018 3:43 am

I'm visiting my daughter this week and last night was the last night here. I checked the water level in my APAP humidifier last night before bed and it was a little low, but I thought it would make it through the night. Above 4:00am this morning when I woke up for other reasons I noted my nose felt as dry as the desert. Yep, humidifier was empty. Now I know I do need it. At least at this ambient temperature and humidity and time of year, etc. I have my humidifier level set to 4.

Not sure if this is a question, but running out of water overnight could be because of excessive leaks. Maybe the humidifier just doesn't have the capacity to run at 4 all night, try 3 and see how that does.
