For the last week and a half....

Post by Meowser » Sat Dec 03, 2011 9:44 pm

I've had the same leak number (4.8L) every night...

seems super strange to me. It looks too consistent and leaks can't be same everynight right?

possible leak from the hose itself maybe?

Unplug your machine from electric outlet for about a minute. The plug it back in and see what happens with the report from tonight. There have been a few instances where the machine seems to get "stuck" reporting the same data every night. Unplugging and plugging back in will force a reboot of the machines internal firmware like rebooting a computer will sometimes fix weird issues.

It is odd that leak doesn't change but not impossible. Forcing the reboot hurts nothing to try though.

Thanks Pugs.... will try that and see what happens.

Yeah, just seems strange that the same data has been recorded every night....

For 3 nights my data on the screen was exactly the same. Even after noon. Doing exactly what Pugsy suggested corrected the problem.

well, unplugged it lastnight.... plugged back in...

this morning about 8 woke up, checked numbers... leak was 3.6L then after putzing around, went and laid back down for about 2 hrs. Check again, my leak was 2.4L how is it possible to go down? or is it an average of all usage till noon?

Noon is when it starts a fresh reporting period.

So your leak was so minimal during the nap that it lowered your overall average.

Think its time for a new mask....

I have found that when i start leaking more, time to replace pillows/swap out...because i dont wanna tighten them tooo tight to my face to prevent leaks.

I do toss sometimes and because of the hose being heavy it pulls on my mask alittle.... hrrrumph.
