How do I get more humidity with a Fisher Paykel Sleep Style 600

I recently had my CPAP machine replaced because I thought it wasn't working (no moisture making it to mask - humidifier heating though). And the new one is doing the same thing so it must not be the machine. Is it possible that a pressure setting of 15 is just to much air to provide a lot of humidity compared to a lower setting? My settings are at the highest for humidity and warm air. I have tried adjusting air temp but that does not help. I would appreciate any suggestions. I am waking up all night due to the "dry" air.

Thanks,

Melanie

If you raise the humidity of the room with a humidifier then the combination of the saturated room air and what the machine adds might do it. Keep the receipt incase it doesn't.

I agree with Fritz.
