Question for Fog

Posted by Joy on October 31, 2001 at 11:18:06:

I also have had similiar problems. I don't consider myself a expert equal to Fog but I have made my own observations. By the way I believe I am in agreement to Fog's assessments. First of all, I was under the impression that the Heated humdifier would heat the air going into my nose and mouth. Cold air caused the Foggy feeling as well as dizziness. Now I realize it is the moisture content only that is produced by the heated humdifier. The temperature of the room has more to do with the Symptoms than the humdifier. For instance my F&P 100 instructions for Heater Setting states" If the room temperature gets very coldduring the night a lower setting may be necessary to prevent excess condensation. If overnight teperatures remains high, a higher setting my be more confortable." I have been doing just the opposite. Curiously, I don't get rainout yet I have it on high when the room is colder. But I believe this just might be the problem resulting in the Fog. I should think the room humdity has more to do with it along with the temperature of the room. I am still experimenting and leave it on 5 no matter what the room temperature and believe I might have resolved the problem. I just started a few days ago and don't want to celebrate yet. Hope this helps. I also would like to hear what Fog thinks. Joy
