Noise at high altitude
Hi. I haven't posted for a long time since my C-PAP use is going pretty well. I have a question about altitude. I live in the desert at about 2000 feet altitude. We have a cabin in the mountains at about 9,000 feet. It seems like, in the mountains, I have problems with my machine making noise...like air escaping. Could this be due to the change in altitude? My air pressure is set at 8.

RE: Noise at high altitude
Is water getting trapped in the mask or hose?
At significantly different altitudes moisture condenses at different temperatures.

RE: Noise at high altitude
That could be it. I'll turn down the heat on the water tank and see if that helps.
