Wow large leak

Post by moombeam » Sat Mar 28, 2009 11:40 am

Now I know what a large leak looks like on my Encore
read-out Lots of red indices in the LL line.
One would figure that it would affect one's AHI's but
I still had 1.4 The hose pulled lose from the machine.
Another event in the life of full blown air head.

Just out of curiosity what did it show the leak rate to be?

The AHI that you're seeing... is deceptive. It doesn't record when you get a large leak.

If I am reading correctly
Large leak 84.0 min 17.7 % of the night
Showed a long line of red indices above the 100 mark on the LL

Showed a blue line above my normal 25 at the 45 line
It read average leak 45
All the flow limitations Oa H had their normal indices showing.
I haven't learned how to use Photo Bucket yet.

So if it doesn't show what is doing ?
