water tank size on s8 to s9

Post by pb5927317 » Mon Nov 29, 2010 7:50 pm

Everyone,

I have noticed that on the s9 unit I am waking up really dry about 6 hours into treatment. The tank is bone dry. I didnt have this issue on the S8. Am I doing something incredibly wrong?

Any workarounds?

Pat

I have s9. Are you using climateline hose? My tank uses about a third of a tank per night set on 74.

I am using a S9 with climateline hose and my tank is almost empty by morning also. I wake up when this happens also. I thought I had the humidity set to high so I put it on auto with the same results. I have never had rain out so far even with the slimline hose.

My husband uses a climateline hose with the temp set at 78 degrees and the auto humidity for that temperature. We go through about a half a tank a night. I have an Aussie heated hose with my s8 and I go through slight more water than he does but when use a regular hose with my pad a cheek hose fleece hose cover, I use about half of the amount that I am using now. So, more heat used, more water used.
