Is this possible?

Post by Joshaldo » Sat Feb 02, 2013 11:53 pm

Hey guys currently it is Summer here in Australia and there is no need to use my humidifier with my s9 autoset. Is it ok to plug the tube straight into the autoset and just not use the humidifier?

Yes, as long as you don't need the extra humidity it is not a problem to disconnect the humidifier and plug your hose directly into your PAP machine. Some people never use a humidifier and do that all the time .

You can also turn the humidifier setting down to zero and you'll get very little humidification because the water is cold. You could even empty the water tank, but it will stink if you accidentally turn the humidifier heat heat on.
