welcome raos * rainout is excessive condensation in your mask (very aggravating)caused by a difference in room temperature and humidifier settings. type in rainout in the search window above to find better answers than mine . also click on the yellow bulb at top of page. there is a mountain of knowledge on this site along with loads of caring folks that face the same challenges as you. tim
