Need more water

[Dustin28906]

I have a newer AirCurve 10 Auto. I wake up every morning with a really dry mouth. I have really high pressure and use a Amara View full face mask. I wake up every morning and my water tank is empty. Is there a bigger tank or a way to get more water. Please advise. I use a heated hose and I’ve tried lowering my humidity but it doesn’t help. Please advise if y’all can help me out. I’ve been on a CPAP for over a year. Thanks in Advance.

Your home must be really dry with the heat on. That along with a medium to high humidifier setting will use a lot of water. If you are a mouth breather, that would account for the dry mouth.

So is there a way to tap in to another container to feed my water reservoir?

I don't believe there is. You could add a small room humidifier to increase the ambient humidity of the room so the CPAP unit would use less.

Thank you I appreciate ur help. I’m new to using the humidity on my machine. My humidity is on 3 and my heated hose is on 82 F and my water gets all used up in about 6-7 hrs.

What is your leak rate running?

Maybe get one of those gadgets that measures the humidity in the bedroom....figure out exactly how much because a setting of 3 is on the low side in terms of added moisture.

Where do you live...what kind of heat in the house?

The factors that affect water consumption are:
1....ambient humidity
2....pressures used
3....leak rate
4....humidifier setting

Dustin I used to get that with my Resmed s9.
There were 3 contributing factors.
1. My pressure would be between 18-20 most of the night.
2. I had the humidity maxed to open up my nasal passages.
3. I had lots of mask leakage.

3. Was solved by not over-tightening the mask straps
2. Figured out that I only had to max out the humidity for the first hour to open up my nasal passages
1. Losing weight has dropped my pressure requirements to 10-12 most of the night.

Hope at least some of this is applicable to your situation.

DIY supplemental water tank.
No need to add a sensor, that just complicates things. Water does a good job of levelling itself out naturally.

Add an external "Tupperware" tank with an air tube above the fill line and a water tube below the fill line.

The picture shows the external tank, without the airtight lid on. The lid must be on in order for it to work.

Now that’s what I’m talking about.

I live in Murphy NC. We keep the heat low like 65 66 in winter. I have very little leaks most of the time.
