RE: F&P Vitera Full Face Mask Whistle
Well I fixed it, I stuck the mask under warm running water and pulled and tugged and scrubbed and scrubbed, both sides with a toothbrush really concentrating on stuffing the bristles through all the vent holes many times from both sides, Then I held the elbow (with the valve) on the end of the faucet from both directions multiple times. Its been quite a few nights since I did this and no more Whistle

Clean as a non whistle.

Thanks for the feedback. My mask was brand new when it happened. Purchased a new one and no problem. I don’t get it

Sorry to revive an old thread. I'm new to the forum, and am experiencing exactly the same problem. Trying a heated tube but so far it's made no difference. I think I'll need to lower the humidity, but I know this will lead to dry mouth etc. Did you ever find a setting to combat this? Tia

Yes, I scrubbed the heck out of it including the elbow section and the valve and all the tiny holes and everything else very thoroughly. That fixed it. I did nothing to the hose or machine.

Thanks very much I'm trying that now. Going to scrub it within an inch of its life ?

RE: F&P Vitera Full Face Mask Whistle
Unfortunately I never did. Other posts speak to scrubbing it with a toothbrush and that seemed to work. I gave up on it. Sorry

RE: F&P Vitera Full Face Mask Whistle
Well I tried it last night and it worked. At least for last night. I do believe it needs a redesign though. Larger holes but fewer of them perhaps? I can't turn my humidity past 4 which isn't enough to prevent dry mouth.

RE: F&P Vitera Full Face Mask Whistle
It’s too bad because the mask has a nice fit. Best of luck!

Yes!
I have been using the Vitera for quite a while now. About every third one whistles through the feront vent holes. If you look closely, you may even see small cracks between the holes, but not always. Based on my observations, the issue seems to be temperature related. Along about hour 5-6, it starts whistling, this is usually also when my water tub runs dry. I figure the heater is heating up the air more and causing some expansion in the plastic, enough to cause the whistle. When the mask is cool, it stops. Take it back to your supplier and complain, they should give you a new one.
