Jayunker, I'm out of town right now, computer less that optimal and I'm helping daughter move. I'll answer when I get back but answer involves conditioning the air in the bedroom by controlling temperature AND humidity. I haven't experienced any rainout yet but not over the dryness either but it is getting better. The temp in the bedroom is usually between 64 and 68, and the relative humidity is between 55 and 65%. Sometimes I raise the temp to 70 to see if I can get more moisture in air which of course I can. I check for condensation on windows and walls to make sure I'm not saturating the air. I measure the humidity in several locations but especially somewhere near cpap device. I use an evaporative humidifier placed about 6 feet from S9. I have also measured the water temp of humidifier, tube exit temperature, and tube exit humidity for all settings of PR system one machine and several settings of S9. I hope this helps somewhat. I can answer in much more detail if you are interested. For other reasons, the S9 has been a real answer!
