S9 pressure w/humidifier vs without

Post by chocl8guy » Mon May 31, 2010 7:07 pm

perhaps it's my imagination but I find the pressure is stronger when the hose is plugged directly into the unit than when plugged into the humidifier. Anyone share this experience? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I wound not doubt your observation, since the air is blown accross the heated water, however the reason I went to an auto-set machine is to have my pressure adjusted to my nightly needs. I like the S-9 with humidifier. I am waiting to get the heated hose.

The new Soft Gel Mask is great!!

It is likely very, very close to designed pressure. Your machine is new unless it is broken.
Humidified air feels different but pressure is pressure...
