Optiflow water reservoir not filling up as well with 2L sterile water bag?

Hello All,

Has anyone had an issue with the water reservoir from Optiflow device not filling-up as well with the 2L sterile water bag vs 1L ? We use Fisher & Paykel cups.

One of our inhalotherapists reports that the cups are often almost empty when arriving in the patient room.

Thanks!
