BEER--now we know where this type of thinking originates.
Sometimes it is best to STAY SOBER.
This is one of those times.

Oh, I do.

The math is actually simple, though one does need to know what pressures the OP is using to calculate accurately.

Right now I have the ClimateLineAir™ Oxy Heated Tube connected to my AirCurve 10 ST-A bi-level, using a 25ft tubing connection to the concentrator. I use a bubble humidifier during the day when just using the concentrator via nasal cannula. I'm not 24/7 oxygen dependent, but sometimes I do use it during the day if I find myself getting tired (I have a lung disease).

Wondering if it's fine to use the bubble humidifier on top of the bi-levels humidifier? I use distilled water for both devices. I use 2-3LPM bled in, and find my throat gets kind of dry. I figured more humidity can't hurt, but don't want to wake up in a water bath or something :mrgreen:.
I use an O2 concentrator with bubble humidifier on my Bipap. Been doing so for almost a year with no problems. The only thing I have found which isn't related to your question is that I require a higher O2 setting at night than during the day to maintain my O2 levels. If you dont have some type pf recording pulse oximeter that you can see what's going you don't know what is happening. Originally I was prescribed 2 LPM but I find I need 3 at night.

I'm willing to bet Granny doesn't actually care, she's just pointing out that you don't know what you're talking about.
It's sport to catch them in their own trap.
