Rainout in pillows with Climateline tubing

Post by tigeragent » Fri Nov 12, 2010 6:10 pm

I am getting a lot of condensation in my S9 with swift fx pillows. I have ordered a hose and pillow cozy from padacheek, however in the meantime until it arrives, should I be putting my climate setting up or down?

I am using climateline tubing - tried settings at 80, 75, and 70 degrees with no improvement. Should I crank it up to the max(86) or go down in the 60's (my room temp is about 62).

Also, should I switch out of auto climate control and tinker with it manually?

Try putting the hose under your bed cover until you get your hose cover or raise your room temp an extra 5 or 6 degrees.

I had that a few times and discovered it was only when it was really cold (around zero celsius) in the bedroom and only after I had taken off the mask for a bathroom visit. Now I unhook the mask and keep it on, so the pillows do not get cold. Maybe that works for you too? Or you could put the mask under your doona when taking it off? Good luck with experimenting.

Doona is Australian slang for quilt or blanket
