ArFit F10 FFM Moisture

Post by fdw » Wed Oct 15, 2014 12:29 pm

For the past couple of days I've notice moisture around my mask when I wakeup, has anyone else notice this.

I don't use a humidifier.

Any Ideas?

no, I can't say as I've noticed any moisture around your mask...

sounds like you're drooling to me.

either that, or a small localized raincloud.

Either drool like PR said or rain out (condensation in the mask).

If drool...it won't hurt you but might be annoying and a mask liner will absorb it.

If rain out from the moisture in your own exhaled breath condensing in the mask.
Have the bedroom temps dropped a bit lately?
If it's too annoying you can try warming up the air...either in the bedroom or the air to the mask with hose cozy or even use the Climatline hose but then you would have to hook up the humidifier but you can do that and not add water to the tank.
You would have to change the setting from automatic to manual and have humidity set to 0 (if no water in chamber) and then just use the heated hose to warm up the incoming air. It can be done though...using the ClimateLine heated hose without adding heat to the humidifier.

I've experimented with a lot of full face masks and the Airfit F10 is about right on par with the ones I've tried - maybe even a little better. I think it's more a function of what's going on upline from the mask - like if you're using a hose cozy, heated tubing, your heat settings, what the ambient room humidity is and stuff like that. If it's drool, like somebody else said, try the Padacheek liner... thirty bucks shipped, problem solved.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
