Re: Hose management devices: worthwhile or worthless?

I use a swivel plant hanger. It mounts to wall over bed- when in use sticks out a

Re: airsense 10 heated tube not work?

Have airsense as well- was getting rainout so went into the menu and took it off auto and set it to warm to 85
that seems to stop the rain

sounds like your room is pretty cool-- maybe just try upping the temp? see if it works
