RE: Updated CPAP settings , feedback required please - quiescence at last - 08-28-2024 For most it just takes some time, and reasonable settings. You got the machine set, now log that time.

Increasing the minimum pressure from 7 (might) show a decrease in those numbers. Thank you both How do you learn to interpret the graphs like that? To like 8.6 how can you be so accurate? Genuinely curious I have set the min pressure to 8.6 will report back in a few days RE: Updated CPAP settings , feedback required please - Deborah K. - 08-28-2024 I suggest that you also raise your high pressure setting to 13 or 14. You are bumping against the 12 pretty often, so you need a little higher setting. RE: Updated CPAP settings , feedback required please - xirokx - 08-29-2024 Last night I changed min pressure to 8.6 , all other settings were the same and I felt very dry. So in the middle of the night I changed tube temp from 26 to 25 and still felt dry. I am still keeping humidity off and there is no water in the tub. Any ideas whats happening pls? Let me know if you need me to upload stats screenshot from Oscar Thanks RE: Updated CPAP settings , feedback required please - G. Szabo - 08-29-2024 Put distilled water in the chamber and set the humidity to Auto. RE: Updated CPAP settings , feedback required please - xirokx - 08-29-2024 (08-29-2024, 07:44 AM)G.

Out of curiosity what's the difference between using boiled kettle water, distilled water and tap water? Thanks RE: Updated CPAP settings , feedback required please - G.

Distilled water has no salts, leading to no deposit in the chamber. Boiled (and filtered after boiling) tap water or well water will leave no deposit in the chamber as long as it is not run completely dry. Hot water can remove this deposit. Tap or well water leave deposits in the chamber, which vinegar can remove. However, prolonged use of vinegar might damage the chamber's metal (aluminum).

What humidity setting would you use with distilled water? As previously even a humidity of 1 , caused rainout in my hose... Thanks for your help RE: Updated CPAP settings , feedback required please - G. Szabo - 08-29-2024 Distilled water has no practical influence on humidity settings. Use a hose cover from Amazon to prevent heat loss and condensation in the heated hose.
