Re: Six months and still struggling

... Others need additional humidity regardless of the room humidity. Some find the auto humidity setting to work for them. A heated hose will prevent rainout. The temperature of the room can cause the humidified air in the hose to condense. A heated hose can prevent this. Some have success using a ...

Re: Whistling FF Mask Wakes Me Up - Mask Rainout

FWIW and if it helps anyone else I ohm'ed out the connections on two hoses and they were comparable, so likely not an issue with the hose. The sensor in the hose appears inversely temperature sensitive (temp goes up, resistance decreases. temp goes down, resistance increases). Measurement shown is a...

Re: Whistling FF Mask Wakes Me Up - Mask Rainout

Heated hose as noted set at 82-84 deg. No hose cover. No gurgling in the hose as 'rainout', so the hose seems to be doing what it should and does feel slightly warm to the touch. The condensation is occurring in the mask. I've kinda wondered if the humidifier heat ...

Whistling FF Mask Wakes Me Up - Mask Rainout

I use a F&P Vitera FF mask with my Resmed AirSense 10 Auto. I've finally got the mask adjusted that leaks are at a minimum, but it seems in doing so any excess moisture in the mask is trying to escape through the vent holes in the frame and when it does it creates a sound like a tiny whistling teapo...

Heated tube for Resvent iBreeze?

... CPAP for a few months. Now it's cool-weather time of year here in the northern hemisphere, so I've just encountered condensation in the hose. (Aka rainout -- if that's not the same thing, someone please correct me.) The obvious solution is a heated hose, to keep the temperature of the inside surface ...

Does a 'short tube cover' exist?

I've never used tube covers as I have a heated tube. However, since I started using the AirFit F40 recently, I'm occasionally getting a little rainout. Condensation is forming in the short tube supplied with the mask, now that the outside temperature is dropping. Is there a short tube cover available ...

Re: Help Setting CPAP Temperature and Humidity Level

The ResMed machines have an algorithm built in to optimize the humidity level and avoid rainout. I set the tube temperature manually and leave the humidity level in Auto. In the auto setting the machine will vary the humidity to avoid rainout. If you set the tube temperature ...

Re: CPAP Humidifier Pushing Water Drops Through Hose

You may have a problem with condensation...It's called "rainout". Condensation is formed when your room temperature is lower than the air in the hose, If you are using a heated hose, set it to auto. Check out this web site... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctw73sdPU6k.

Mostly because it is counterintuitive - "how could more humidification make my already runny nose better?", "if I'm getting rainout in the hose, I must reduce the humidity level, right?", and so on.

A couple of mask problems

... decide what to do about my mask. Issue 1: I keep the machine lower than my head and off the floor, and keep the humidity low because I was getting rainout. I also got a hose cover to help with that. But now I'm getting condensation in the mask, but not in the hose. Is this something that a mask ...
