Leakage rate getting Better

Post by ChipsXJ » Wed Mar 11, 2009 8:06 am

I think the hose management I started using last night may have helped the leakage rate a little.

I am really anxious to get the leakage rate under control......so I can increase the pressure a little..........to work on the snoring issue.

Wow, that looks A LOT smoother. Surprised that the average leak only dropped 1 lpm, but the graph looks a lot better.
