First Night With My Machine
So finally after many moons and suns of waiting I was able to use my very own machine! It's definitely going to take some time adjusting but I woke up feeling a little better I felt like I was getting trapped air bubbles in my stack at times but other than that I felt ok. My pressure setting is at a 9-13.

Re: First Night With My Machine
Thanks!!!!! I'm so glad the wait is FINALLY over and I have it all in my possession.
Question, Do I dump out the distilled water from the humidifier every morning?

Re: First Night With My Machine
No need to, but keep an eye on the inside 'seams' of the tank and at the first sign of anything that wasn't there to begin with, dump the water and clean the tank (there was just a great thread recently - do a forum search - on how to use salt to do it, though there are other ways as well).

Re: First Night With My Machine
Ashlization -- congrats on your new machine. I've got one too and I'm relieved (but still tinkering to make it "perfect" -- or as perfect as these things get).
I started experimenting with the distilled water level and found that I don't need to fill it to the top line every night. That saves some water because I do dump my water every morning and let the basin dry.
I recommend that you go back into your User Control Panel and change your equipment settings so that folks can read the text version. It's way easier for people to identify your equipment that way. (Got that tip from another user and it does make a difference.)
Good luck on the journey . . .

To someone with OSA, this saying takes on a whole new meaning:
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
