Glad the rainout has been better lately.

You said you got an ebay hose holder, but that shouldn't raise your hose really high above your head. You don't want a long drop in the hose to your nasal interface.

Remember, the bigger the drop the bigger the drip. (hehe, I just made that up).

I had a lot of rainout. I kept a bucket by the bed to drain the water into. This woke me up
At a conference in Nashville a few weeks ago there were snuggle hose covers made of fleece. WOW, what a difference. I have not had rainout since on 5 in a cold room.
I still get rainout in the pillows, but it does not bother me.
I have also not noticed that the air is warm. Check the filters, and the area near the filters. This should not be blocked or it will cause warmer air.

Thanks for the tip on the filters. I think they MAY be getting blocked by the way I set the machine up. I have it facing a wall, with the power module between it and the wall. I'll re-do that configuration.

I'm not getting rain in the hose, I've discovered. Just the pillows.

Thanks all!

i am having rainout, too. yes, my room gets down to 50 at night, and i love this season for that. i have always kept the cpap device below mattress level because i do not want to risk H2O getting into my lungs and causing pneumonia! my 6 ft tube is covered with a quilted fabric. i use nasal pillows. the electric tube used almost a full reservoir of H2O per night, then it caused a burn mark inside my humidifier without running dry... maybe a short was caused? so, i am back to a non heated tube. 4 is default for my humidifier. i have it on 3. if it is lower than 3, my mouth gets too dry... and, i DO want to keep my teeth! any suggestions for me?
