[quote="Snoredog"]is your machine a AutoSet Spirit?

You say it is a S7, similar function to the S8 but the older machine.

I would:

Remove the filter at the rear and clean it with water, dry with a towel.
Wash out the humidifier tank putting in a teaspoon of bleach and sloshing it around letting it sit for 10-15 minutes then rinsing it really good.

I would also run water through your hose for a while soapy if you can, they can begin to smell like a dead rat if a loop is allowed to remain for any time.

You need to find out your machine type (autoset vs non-autoset) and pressure settings. You have no EPR with a S7. So it is either a auto or its not.

someday science will catch up to what I'm saying...
