Obviously I live in the U.K. and I just received a second hand HC 100 stand alone heated humidifier from a U.S. auction site. If it had worked it would have been perfect for my 3 cpap machines BUT it has a strange plug (3 pins, 1 round and 2 flat) and I obviously need some sort of inverter/transformer to be able to use in England. Does anybody know anything helpful? All 3 cpap machines were bought in the U.S.A. and work well with the U.K. 240 volt A.C. system and I also use them on my U.S. visits with an adaptor plug, 2 are Resprionics and 1 is Intellipap. In the meantime I can only use this HC 100 as a passover humidifier (cold water) - do passovers work at moisterising the air because the water level hardly changes?. Passovers appear to be popular and I wonder what the benefits are? Is there a F & P online manual for this humidifier that anyone knows of?

I have a second question, one of my machines is a Resprionics Remstar Auto (June 2006) and I have the correct humidifier on its plate, the heater control is on the machine but it is only on or off - no choices, and although the light goes on the water is barely tepid but the level reduces somewhat overnight, is this normal? and have they improved since then? I was hoping to use the HC 100 with this auto because it has 9 heat settings.
