heated humidifier

[haynow2b]

there was a post earlier about this & I still would like to know if the air coming out of the mask should feel warm. I stopped w/ my treatment a couple of months ago & humidifier about to try again but when I stopped one of the reasons was my inner nose & throat would be cold & I kept having congestion problems. Could my rem heated humidifier not be working? It will use up the water but so die my old C-pap that wasn't heated. Should I just turn up the humidity setting?

The HH is supposed to heat up the water slightly, so the air can pick up and hold more moisture. It is not a air warmer, the mask you use does get cooler than some. If you get the HH too high, you will end up with rainout. (water build up in the hose. )

Products are made to help that. (Hose Covers) (Heated Hoses) To stop rainout with out them, turn down the temp on the HH, sleep with the room warmer. Also with a nasal mask, you can be letting air out through your mouth, that will make it feel colder and dryer, and it also will keep your treatment from doing it's job. A FF Mask and or taping mouth closed are the best solutions for that. Jim

With a hose cover my nose was still freezing. I got the Aussie heated hose and love it. My nose stays nice and warm all night.
