The rain out you are experiencing could be coming from your exhaled air not the humidifier. If possible cover the nasal pillows and the short hose if you have one with a hose cover as well. There are several others who will give you some great suggestions on this forum to help as well.

I know that with the cooler air it may become more of a problem. Your wife can make a more insulating hose cover for the long hose that will help with any condensation coming from the humidifier.
I hope this helps

Karen

If you have already made a long hose cover, now make a small one but be sure its short enough not to slide down and cover your vent holes.
