[Equipment] NP10 exhaust leak.
#1
NP10 exhaust leak.
After running mask check on my machine it appears I have excessive leakage from the front exhaust vents. It seems to be sealing ok in all the places it should seal except the exhaust. The grumpy red face is present. Maybe their is something on vents that wash off over time. It's my 2nd NP10 mask. Has anyone else had this problem

One member here reported having the pillows rotated 180 degrees on the base causing excessive leaks.

RE: NP10 exhaust leak.
That's not possible. If you wear the mask up side down it leaks bad from the cushions, I'm getting excessive leak from the exhaust vent . Im guessing I may have washed it in water that was too hot and wrecked it. I wore my F&P Brevida nasal pillow mask last night and had almost no leakage. Trouble is I find it hot to wear and not as comfortable as the p10.

RE: NP10 exhaust leak.
I agree with you on the Brevida and P10. I would like to use the Brevida 100% of the time, but find it too warm as well. Perhaps it will be a winter mask!! It does make my leak stats quite a bit lower.
