Hello everyone,
I just received my new mask the Quattro, should i have to have a real tight to get a good seal because that is the only it will seal.

Re: New Mask The Quattro
You may have your straps too tight. They need to be loose enough to let the mask seal yet tight enough to make it seal, if that makes any sense. Also top and bottom need to be balanced so they cooperate to form a comfortable seal. A trick I learned here is to put a couple of wraps of teflon tape (like plumbers use) around the elbow that enters the mask. If the elbow leaks, it feels as if the entire mask is leaking. With a pressure of 12 you should be able to get a good seal with minimal discomfort. Hope this was at least a bit of help. Keep adjusting until you are comfortable and don't give up on the Quattro, it's a great mask once you tweak it out.
