Rainout Help Please!

Post by vonhelheim » Sat Feb 11, 2023 6:29 pm

This seems to be a very popular topic. I am having this problem with my Airsense 10. Tried everything, different settings, hose holder, hose cover, new climate line hose, new face mask, raising and lowering machine, every combination of this. Presently I have set climate line to off and humidity to off, no help. My room is a constant 22-23 C 71-73 F yet within 4-5 hours of sleep I have rain out. So much so that I have to remove mask and reach for a towel to dry my face. I would really like to solve this problem.......any advice?

What mask are you using?
Where is the condensation...mask level or hose level?

Have you tried simply turning up the heated hose air temp instead of turning it off?

Thanks for a response. I am using a Resmed mask covering my nose and mouth. The moisture (rainout) seems to come from the hose and drops onto my face, runs down my cheeks. It works its way under the silicone mask seal also.
