Re: Respironics PR System 1 users ??

I'll share my PR secret for filling with out spilling. Remove the tank and stick your index finger (OR WHICH EVER FITS TIGHT) in the side hole while filling from the top. As soon as your finger feels the water, stop pouring. This fills mine every time with no spill or over fill.

Re: Questions for Mirage Liberty Users ?

Mine will vary according to the room humidity. Now that the AC is on it is fairly dry and I use a "3" setting unless I notice water in the mask, then I dial down to a "2". Try going down to a one and see if you are better.

Re: Hybrid/Liberty comparison, please

I have both. I use the Liberty every night and have a Hybrid fit and ready as a back up. The leaks have not been a severe problem for me. When i do notice leaks getting severe, I take that as a sign to change the seal and nose pieces. I sleep on my side primarily, but like a lot of folks, I never kn...

Re: Would you put your humdifier chamber in the dishwasher?

An easy fix is to dump the water daily and wash it every 2-3 days with white vinegar first and then distilled water. I find that the mild acid in the vinegar removes any slime or gunk.

Re: PR System One humidifer "icon" light?

Something as lite as a tissue works in a bind. As for the beeping. Unplug the unit and remove the power cord from the machine. Let it stand for 2-3 hours and then plug it back in and try that. mine would beep and throw a fit on start up. I put up with it for a couple of months and finally decided to...

Re: Respironics System One Humidifier

I'll throw my 2 cents in here. My system seems like it won't use much water and then the 2 or 3rd night drain the tank. Plus the lights all blink and beep when it starts up and some times I have to unplug and start it alll over because it sticks in a nonstop beeping mode? bad? Can't be sure.

I keep it for a back up all sized and ready to go. someday? Anyway tighten the straps and you should be ok. If not then size is a concern. My DME...
