You might also give some thought to trying the machine without the humidifier. I know it's almost heresy to say that on this forum, but some of us never use the humidifier and have found that (a) we don't find it necessary, and (b) we don't like the overly humidified air that it produces. If your room air is already high in humidity, you probably don't need additional humidity in your CPAP. It's not as if it's pure oxygen, which dries membranes. It's just air at a rather gentle pressure (e.g., 10 cm), and it does not rush in and out, as some people like to say. Some people find they need the humidifier, and some of us just don't. Just my opinion.
