I have to wear a mask, use a hose connected to a machine and turn the machine on. So I bought the climateline (heating hose) when I got my S10 Autosense for her. It came with a slimline. (Darn DME supplier.) I use a hose hanger as Big Guy suggested.
I *think* that having a humidifier helps my treatment. I *think* that having the temperature of the air increased using a heating hose improves my sleep quality.
And I added a humidifier on my furnace after my ukulele cracked. Now I have enough capacity in the ResMed S10 reservoir tank in winter! It doesn't boil away all the water before I wake up. Yes. Canadian winter. Though it's very warm here in Toronto.
When I travel I leave the humidifier tank behind. I bought the conversion plate for the S10 so I can do this. Except I'm not travelling at all.
