Just received my HC150....
Time to store the integrated M-series HH in the travel bag for travels....
Actually just got back from San Luis Obispo -- Stayed in Morro Bay and it's the first time I've ever seen the sun in Morro Bay for 3 days in a row. Usually it's extremely foggy and damp -- so I usually don't take my HH with me when I go....Did 3 nights with no HH without issues.....

I think I'll enjoy not having to fill the HH every night anymore -- the tank on the HC150 looks very much larger!!!

cheers

Yep, it has a lot more capacity than your M humidifier's water chamber.

From one of my old posts
viewtopic.php?p=206305
comparing the amount of water several different humidifier chambers can hold:

______________________

I just now measured the water capacity of three water chambers, filling each just to their "fill line":

Respironics M series humidifier - 11 ounces
I wouldn't try to overfill this one at all.

Respironics non-M (classic) humidifier - 14 ounces
Can be overfilled another two ounces without problem - to 16 ounces.

Fisher & Paykel HC 150 separate humidifier - 16 ounces
Can be overfilled one more ounce without problem - to 17 ounces.

Those "overfill" numbers I'm using are from my own experience using cpap pressures in the range of 8 - 16 cm. If a person is using more cpap pressure than 16, you probably wouldn't want to overfill a humidifier chamber much, if any. The greater force of air hitting the water is going to cause more turbulence on the surface of the water.

You know you've overfilled a humidifier tank if you hear splashing, spitting, or gurgling sounds when you turn on the air. Need to pour a little out and not fill it that much next time. Been there, done that!

When I use an M series machine, I never use the integrated humidifier for it. I always use my good old F&P HC150 humidifier connected to the M machine. Holds a LOT more water than the M humidifier.

Such a handy humidifier to have, that F&P HC150. Can be used with any brand/model machine.

You can't run a business or anything else on a theory.

I beg to differ.....
Just about everything begins with a theory.....
