Moisture in the tubes

Post by DePac » Tue Mar 15, 2016 9:08 am

I have been using the Airsense 10 Auto for a couple months. I love it but some nights the condensation builds up and wakes me up. I use the humidity level all the way on 8 because I get a dry nose if I don't. I use nose pillows. I wake up to the noise and have to get out of bed and raise the entire tubing above the machine to drain it out. Short of placing my machine on the floor does anyone have any other suggestions?

Can you not put the machine on a lower table relative to the bed - is the floor the only alternative? How about something like a milk-crate or sturdy box covered with material that matches your decor?

Do you use a heated hose ? or a hose cover... two other options that might help.
Also could suspend the hose for a hanger or the headboard.
If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!
