Running out of water - worthog - 07-30-2021
Can someone advise why my watertank runs very low on water at night.
I have the settings for Climate Control on and tube temp set to auto
Resmed S10 machine

Winter in Oz==humidity is low.
Summer here in Canada....but I have the same issue in winter. I added a humidifier on my furnace (after my ukulele wood cracked). That made things better.
I have the same machine; same settings. My machine is new to me. I haven't investigated how to turn down the humidifier settings.
Do you have an issue with rainout? Do you have water in your hose and mask at night?

I've reduced the tube temperature on my S10 to 18C with Auto climate control and water usage is way down even in Melbourne winter. I find without humidification my nose is too dry and with higher tube temperates (=higher humdity?) I get more nasal congestion.
Given that Mountain Creek is about as far south from the equator as Florida is North and is close to the ocean it shouldn't often get that dry..

Hi Dave, no issue with water in hose or mask at night.
Hi kappa, will try hose temp at 18 tonight and see how it goes
Thanks for both responses
