summertime rough

Post by kb3cxl » Thu Jul 12, 2012 6:04 am

Running the humidifier during warm nights is a killer esp when nights are cool enough for fans and not a/c but it makes it hard to breathe that warm air and if I leave it off then its not moist either any ideas thanks

Don't use it?

It's a comfort feature, nothing to do with therapy until it does matter (if you dry out too much, and open your mouth to get more air, you'll lose what should be going down and not out), so turn it off, or at least down. I only ever use mine for a few weeks in winter but live relatively near the ocean so it's always more than humid enough.

Ditto - I remove my humidifier completely in summer and pack it away until autumn.

Cheers,
