John,
Yes it is. A true passover humidifier is low and flat so the air will have more surface contact with the water to pick up more humidity, but just turning your unit to 0 will keep the water from heating and still allow some moisture to get to the mask. For me this enough humidity to make the difference most of the time.

Brenda,

Thanks, I was hoping to find out about that. I don't think I will ever need much humidity for my treatment (I live in San Diego where 55% - 65% is probably a normal day' average humidity) so I will try it out to see if that will work for me.

Have a great day and thanks for the help!

John

I have had my S9 setup with the climate line hose now for over a year with no problems,it might be a good idea to have both the unit looked at and replace the hose.
