[quote="TANSTAF1"]When you run the ResMed humidifier on high, don't you run out of water by morning? The tank is not that big. I only run mine on 1 or 2 and the water level is usually quite low by morning.

You hve the integrated ResMed humdifier shown in your profile and the link to it is correct, right? You only fill it half full - to the squiggly lines, right?

If it doesn't virtually empty the tank when set on high I would think there is something wrong with it (although I am a noob - only 4 months on CPAP). Does the metal plate get hot and the water in the tank get warm (after it has had a chance to heat up)?

I am pretty sure I accidently set mine to 3 or 4, not the max and it was virtually dry in the morning.

I guess if you were in a more humid climaate, this would not affect it, but i am in Massachusetts which is pretty humid (fortunately not much snow yet).
