Question Answer
Why is there
condensation in
my mask and/or
air tubing? Excessive condensation in your mask or air tubing may occur when the room
temperature is low. To prevent condensation, turn the control dial down to a lower
setting. You may need to adjust your humidity setting from season to season. The use
of a ResMed Tubing Wrap can help reduce the effects of condensation.
Do I have to use
distilled water
in the water
chamber? Using distilled water will maximize the life of the water chamber and reduce mineral
deposits.
What if I still
have symptoms
of dryness? If you have symptoms of dryness, then your humidity setting may be set too low to be
effective. Turn the humidity control dial up.
If you are still experiencing symptoms of dryness, you may be breathing through your
mouth. Mouth breathing or mouth leaks cause drying and irritation of the upper airway.
If this is a problem, a full face mask or chin strap may help. Consult your clinician or
equipment supplier for details.
