Quick condensation question...

Post by Kumbakaran » Tue Sep 09, 2008 11:55 am

Greetings,

Quick question:

If I put the machine below my bed, and run the hose up to bed level to my mask, and
condensation occurs in the hose. Isn't there a chance the water will condense inside
the hose, and go back towards the machine and possibly ruin it?

It should go back where it came from, which is the humidifier. Which is full of water ... already.

Just be sure not to overfill the humidifier. Before bedtime hold it up to the light and see where the water line is. In the morning look at it again to see where the line is down to. You'll get a feel for how much you use.

And use distilled water.
