I used my humidifier for the first time last night. The water tub level dropped one increment (from full to first black line) during 7.0 hours usage.
Used auto setting with climateline which should have produced 80% humidity if I read the info correctly. Is my usage in line with others using an H5i?
My pressure is set at 5cm.
Is one increment on yellow tab normal usage for S9 H5i?

In contrast, my humidifier tank goes virtually empty every night. I run at 10 to 12 cm with Auto Climate Control and a temp of 86 deg. My bedroom humidity is probably about average. With your pressure of only 5 cm you would normally use less.

Re: Is one increment on yellow tab normal usage for S9 H5i?
I use between one increment and three increments below max depending on the room temperature and humidity. Right now, in winter, I reach the latter with the temperature set at 82 and very low humidity (I live in New Mexico at 6940 ft.); at times with mild temperatures and higher humidity, with the temperature set at 74, I reach one increment only.

I also average down to the first line below full each night with pressure at 10-13 and temp set to 75. But, I also have a whole house humidifier which keeps things in the 35-50 % RH range, so my H5i doesn't have to add as much as it would without the WH humidifier.

That is normal for me as well. I have the S9 H5i and use a pressure of 7 cm at a setting of 75-80%.
