For me, breathing warm air reduces the need of the humidifier. If the humidifier is sucking 48F sir I need the humidifier. Because of where I am now in an unheated house I will be sticking the entire machine and hose under my comforter starting tomorrow. Letting the mattress pad normalize the temperature. It's supposed to dip to the high thirties F on Thursday. The humidifier does not stand a chance. For the last couple of weeks the temperature has been slumping. Using half a reservoir of water but I wake up with froze-nose and cheeks.
Been there done that. The Respironics did not even get warm under the covers with the humidifier set on 5. Tongue stuck to roof of mouth 5AM is not my idea of good therapy. So I cranked the mattress pad up to PRE WARM, covered the humidifier and then checked it periodically. Getting overly warm was not part of the program. I sleep with the pad on "2"
And yes I have verified the humidifier is grunting and puffing it's little heart out. 3.9 additional amperes worth. Went to far as to shine the heating pad in the reservoir and under the water reservoir. Even put dielectric grease to aid heat transfer. Tomorrow night under the comforter.
