Have you tried a cover (Snuggle Cover, eg) for your hose?

NightHawkeye mentions the 50% cpap dropout rate which is a number I have heard before. Did anyone take notice of the dropout rate mentioned in "Streaming CPAP and Sleep Apnea News (older news) 05/15/06 Sleep Apnea Ruled a Factor in Reggie White's Death"?

[quote="tomjax"] So if the tank were full of bacteria, none would be in the rainout or condensate. The pathogens- bacteria and virus cannot hitch a ride on this. This is why there is no danger of getting bacteria in the hose- even if you use water from the toilet or the creek. The only reason to use...

I would have to clean it again before use to get the spring pollens off.

I agree with yardbird on the risks of this practice. On the benefits side, I doubt that any of the salt particles can travel to the nostrils in the tiny droplets of water. So you are only getting humidified air just as if you were using distilled water. Maybe a physicist among our forum members can ...

I was suprised to wake up about an hour after using a ComfortLite2 for the first time to find my nose full of water, water running down my face, and the top of my head wet from water leaking out at the rotating elbox. I didn't have this problem with the Swift (which fit very badly). I'm using the s...
