H5i Uses alot of water with climate hose vs. Slimline

[fritopie]

Does anyone have a problem with their H5i using alot of water? The slimline hose I had, I only used 1 tank every 3 or 4 days. With the climate hose, I use maybe a tank every 1-2 days depending on if I nap. The humidity is at 80%.

Wait until this winter.
Many times last winter, I had to add water after 6 hours; our house was so dry.
This winter, I hope to get a room humidifier working to decrease the need for water through my H5i.
Apparently, Resmed is not aware that some folks do not have state of the art HVAC systems.

I have had my central air on in the house around the clock almost since June set at 73, and my H5i w/climate line tubing has not used a lot of water at all. So it depends on the humidity in the room, on average.

This has been discussed in previous threads.
The consensus is that the ambient humidity of the bedroom affects the amount of water needed by the CPAP.

Mine does the same thing. It's normal.

Mine does the exact same thing also. I'll probably get a slimline hose when I replace the current climateline.

I am currently on passover. I use a tank of water once a week.

The H5i has a humidity sensor in it to monitor the ambient humidity. It then adjusts itself accordingly so a the amount of water used will vary depending on ambient humidity.

Wait until this winter.

If you use a room humidifier be aware the ultrasonic types can put minerals into the air which can then accumulate in the CPAP machine and considerably shorten it's working life. Use of demineralised water or using a humidifier with a demineralisation cartridge may help but an evaporative humidifier will avoid such problems.
