Hello,
My husband switched from a ResMed air touch F20 to the Respironic Wisp nasal mask. We made sure the mask type, which is x1 was set and we started with the very lowest pressure and it is blowing hard as if it was set at 20.
I have followed videos on changing it but no luck, it still is blowing really hard. Is this something that happens? How can I fix it? We are in the middle of nowhere for the next couple months for work so getting a specialist to help us in-house is out of the question unfortunately. Any suggestions would be appreciated

What do you mean by "blowing really hard"? how much air is coming out when the mask isn't on his face?
That doesn't matter (for long and complicated reasons).

Changing masks will not make the CPAP blow harder. What are the machine pressure settings?
