      If you put water in the tank, the air will blow across the water and pick up moisture. If the water is warmed up by the heater, the air will pick up more moisture. Most machines have you push a button to start the cpap. Try turning that same button to the right and see if a little symbol lights up that looks like heat waves or water drops. A number may also show.

      Turn the button to the right after you start the machine.
