condensation

Post by brendaelk69 » Sat Mar 23, 2024 10:01 am

I am a new user/18 days. Why is there condensation on my water reservoir? I use Distilled water and my tube temp is set at 72. Is this normal? I have many red faces for my mask fit too! Any Feedback? :?

It's normal depending on what your ambient bedroom temperature happens to be. Condensation is Physics in action.

See this thread posts number 2 and 3...you have options available.

Mr Frowny red face only shows up on the machine LCD screen for leak management when your time in large leak (over 24 L/min) is 30% or more of the time during the night. It takes a LOT of large leak to earn Mr Frowny face.
You need to be using available software to see the leak details so as to know just how big of a problem your leaks might be.
