AirSense10 w/humidifier

Post by ggledhill » Fri May 11, 2018 2:40 pm

Used my new AirSense10 with humidifier and heating tube for 1st time last night. After about 4-5 hours of comfortable use I began to get loud annoying gurgling sound apparently coming from tubing.
Rainout?
Any thoughts on how to remedy?
Thanks

Probably should increase the hose air temp in the heated hose.
It's probably set to "auto" and most of the time auto works fine but sometimes when the ambient bedroom temps are on the cooler side of things the auto temp control doesn't quite get the job done.

Though there are several options available. See posts #2 and #3 in this thread for the various options available for dealing with condensation/rain out in the mask or hose.

Easiest fix IMHO...just increase the hose air temp a bit. Sometimes all you need is a couple of degrees.

also, keep the water level at or below the full line. if the reservoir is overfilled even a little bit it will send water in the hose. the way around that is to have the hose come from the machine and go up and come down to you. normally my hose comes off the machine and goes down to the floor and up to the bed. the one time i overfilled it. i hung the hose above the headboard and it was fine.

I over filled my tank once which I thought was impossible because it has sort of an overflow gutter. Well I somehow filled my hose with water but it was intimidate.

Had to drain it.
