Something wrong with my new machine!

Yup. Just trying to tell you that it seems like your old machine was defective in one way or another. I can't imagine it leaking water and not air. This could account for part of the difference in how you feel too.

I just ordered the Hose cover from CPap.com to remedy the rainout problem!

As I understand it, when the first batch of M series came out there was a problem with leaking reservoirs. I think they eventually caught on and fixed the problem so that the new ones no longer leak.

As Blarg stated, there are different approaches to fixing your rainout problem. The easiest thing to do is to just turn up the heater tempurature of your bedroom at night.

You can wrap your hose in a blanket until the hose cover comes. I have a polar fleece throw that is the exact length of my hose, I just roll the hose in it, it works great.

I found a piece of fleece that was just sitting there waiting to be used and made my own hose cover. Eventually I will buy one ready made. My homemade one doesn't look too hot but it works just fine.

JUST seeing this and I am mystified because my machine, same model - Remstar M with heated humidifier - has developed a problem in the last month. Most mornings, if I lift the machine up, there is a pool of water under the machine.. I am not overfilling it, none gets in the tube, the only problems are that it is ruining my night table and obviously at some point the air I breathe is no longer humidified.

I am theorizing the suction is pulling water through the seal between the top and bottom half of the reservoir. But everything looks fine as it always has. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Guest, the M series humidifiers were defective when they were first introduced. You should be able to return yours to the DME and get a replacement.
