Re: Slime in humidifier tank

The tank can be taken apart...It takes a little finger power and patients, but it can be done... There is a youtube video that shows you how... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scg8Nc9LkRo

I only do this procedure about every 4-6 weeks...

I use no tap water at all...

Hope this helps.

Re: Having troubles understanding machine readings.

Yes, I changed my mask setting to FFM.

Do I just keep clamping down to work on the seal?

Where do I find the following data to post?

(How about posting one of your Mr Unhappy night's data? AHI breakdown and the graphs for that night.)

Thanks for the replies so far...

I am new to the board but have been on CPAP for about 1 year. I normally use an Activa Lt Nasal mask but have switched to a Quattro FFM, due to air escaping my mouth some nights and waking me up.
