Glad I came across this thread.
I recently switched over from a recalled Philips Dreamstation to a ResMed Airsense 10 auto. I had been using a humidifier and heated hose on the Philips machine and never had any issues. I could also always feel the warmth of the hose on that unit.
On the ResMed, if I leave the climate setting on auto there are no water issues. However, I’ve been feeling like it’s a bit too dry. I tried going to manual and setting the humidity to 6. Both nights I tried this, I woke up at some point to a “rattling” sound when exhaling. The first night when I heard this I moved the mask away from my face and got sprayed with water and also felt moisture being sprayed from the vent in the elbow connecting the hose to the mask.
All conditions in the room are the same as they were with the Philips machine but I definitely don’t feel any warmth in the ResMed heated hose. I’m thinking there is some sort of issue with the hose.
Since this machine and equipment are only a week old, I got the DME to ship out a replacement hose. We’ll see if that helps.
No where in your post do you mention anything about increasing the temperature of your hose.
The solution is to increase your hose temperature. Did you?

I did not. Never had to do that with the Philips. I will give it a try tonight. Thank you.

Keep in mind that to adjust the temp of the hose, the heated hose has to be attached to the machine at the time. If it's not attached that option does not appear in the menu.

It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong.

I have both the humidifier and the heated hose set to Auto. What's strange is that some nights, as I'm falling asleep, I'll feel the heated hose and I can feel that it's warming up. Other nights I don't feel the warmth but in both cases the hose is dry in the morning. Not so with the defective hose that I replaced.
