Re: ResMed S9 humidifier emptying too quickly

When was the last time you tried a lower humidity setting? All too often, when people experience humidity problems (rain out, dry tank) they try everything but lowering their humidity settings.

Re: ResMed S9 humidifier emptying too quickly

The 35 L/min leak number from the machine itself is what we call a 95% number and all that means is the leak was AT OR BELOW that number for 95% of the night. Most likely the bulk of the night you were well below 35 L/min but even if you were at 35 all night long I don't see it emptying the water c...

Re: ResMed S9 humidifier emptying too quickly

What is the ambient humidity in your bedroom? What do your leak numbers look like? Leak = 35L/M I looked it up and that is on the high side. I use nasal pillows so I may be opening my mouth during REM. Would this explain the fast-emptying reservoir? And what do you recommend to stop the leaking? Sh...

Re: ResMed S9 humidifier emptying too quickly

If you've suddenly turned the heat on in the house, that would do it. That may be a contributing factor. Not sure how I can verify one way or another.

Very dry!

Thanks!

ResMed S9 humidifier emptying too quickly

Hey there folks. I am here because of one problem. For some reason the reservoir in my humidifier suddenly started emptying ever night ever before the night is over. I didn't change any settings. Humidity setting: 4.0 Tube temp setting: 70 I'm sure someone has had this problem. And before I posted t...
