Note to self

Post by Janknitz » Tue Dec 27, 2011 1:41 am

Note to self: when traveling in the high desert far away from the foggy Northern coastal climate, it's reasonable to expect more humidifier water to be used and one should check the water level in the tank more frequently.

Hi, this is SELF, with a reminder to Janknitz,
Whenever you travel please do include a can or two of DEhydrated H2O, so that when you run out of your distilled, you can quickly mix up some of the dehydrated to put in the humidifier. Also, don't forget to check the level morning and evening.. you could attach the can of dehydrated to the CPAP as a visual key to jog your memory. Hope Y'all had a great Christmas. from SELF

The really sad part is that I noticed my nasal passages were bleeding from the dry air, so I turned the humidity up but never thought to check the water level. DUH!
