... I clean the active one at the end of the week and hang it in my closet to dry. It can still be moist inside after a week. How do you suggest drying it? I've found little fans that blow into the hose. Do they work? On the infrequent occasion that I wash my hose..I drape it on the heated towel ...

... just hook it up at bedtime to my machine and use it that way. In the morning the hose is completely dry. If you think that you need some method of drying the hose look for one of these battery-operated air pumps that folks use to pump up their air mattresses, or the like. I have one for an airbed ...

I have two hoses. I clean the active one at the end of the week and hang it in my closet to dry. It can still be moist inside after a week. How do you suggest drying it? I've found little fans that blow into the hose. Do they work?

The inside of the tubing never fully dries ever, so I want to get a drying machine. The hurricane.

no answer for the full face mask. (sorry) but have you tried just turning on your machine and letting it air dry your hose?

... I clean the hose and all the other parts weekly, but one week I might forget. The inside of the tubing never fully dries ever, so I want to get a drying machine. The hurricane. But, I’ve missed maybe two weeks total from not wearing my cpap and 90% of those days were because I was too congested ...

... properly has your open mouth full of pressurized, humidified air. A mask that leaks has the air rushing through your mouth and out into the room, drying your mouth and tongue just like a brisk wind dries laundry.

... need a setting of 2 to try at some point. If at some point I try to go full mask, generally you need a high humidity level to keep you mouth from drying out, is that correct? Thanks

... use. A comprehensive exam is necessary to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. Thanks for your perspective. I understand the risks for the drying eyes and don't believe that's what my issues are related to. My vision does not improve throughout the day as my eyes get more moist. I have ...

... there's just a tiny bit of pressure on the inside corner of my eye. In your case: You need to be sure that the heated pads are not aggravating the drying. My question is, I'm making better progress in the sleep dept, but have noticed the sight deterioration due to constant dry eyes. I need my sleep, ...

... setting, its always been on auto, particularly as Im in florida and had issues with my eyes being dried out and in one respect, I have the drying out eyes issue whereas you have the nose issues. So fully understand. Recently it's been cold and the RH has dropped to the 40's but at times ...

... setting at 6 and no rain out with above parameters but some rain out with the setting of 7. So far I seem to be able to deal with the minor drying of the nasal mucosa with only a little bit of allergy like symptoms (mainly sneezing but some congestion and runny nose). I don't have those ...

... working on figuring out ways to make it work. I didn't even try to count the number of times I had to moisten my lips because the steady wind kept drying them out. For the lips: Licking your lips to moisten them only results in more chapping. It's better to slather them with Lansinoh nipple cream ...

... Time spent actually sleeping -- 0 minutes I didn't even try to count the number of times I had to moisten my lips because the steady wind kept drying them out. I could feel myself working to breathe against the airflow pretty much the whole time, except when the flow was ramping up. I finally ...

... mouth or lips are opening and air is leaking out. This is a common problem. It needs to be addressed. (Humidifiers keep the nasal passages from drying out, but are not designed for a leaking mouth.) I will rent another brand for 4 weeks to see the results change. Post again in this thread after ...
