FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY IS THERE CONDENSATION IN MY MASK AND/OR AIR TUBING?
You may experience excessive condensation in your mask or air tubing. This may occur
seasonally, particularly when the room temperature is low or cool air is circulating
around the tube. Turn the control dial down to a lower setting until the condensation
decreases.
You may have to adjust your humidity setting from season to season.
DO I HAVE TO USE DISTILLED WATER IN THE WATER CHAMBER?
Using distilled water will maximise the life of the water chamber and reduce mineral
deposits. See “Cleaning your HumidAire 3i” on page 11 for further details.
WHAT IF I STILL HAVE SYMPTOMS OF DRYNESS?
If you still experience symptoms of dryness, then your humidity setting may be set too
low to be effective. Gradually turn the humidity control dial up over a few nights until
the symptoms disappear.
If you are still experiencing symptoms of dryness, even after increasing the humidity
setting, 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.
