Humidifier without heat?

Post by clearyt » Tue Jul 14, 2015 6:23 pm

Is it possible to use the respironics system one auto A flex without heat, just cool air? Would that be advisable?

Using the humidifier without heat is OK for most people; I think it's called Passover humidification. I don't like to have the hose heating me up in the summer with the Midwestern heat, so I usually set it to 0 during the summer months.

See your no heat, and raise you, no water! 2 years now! Why keep it on, it acts as a muffler... Jim
