RE: Central vs Obstructive Apnea - EERS Device and Trial
The problem is apparently expired moisture/humidity, and it seems to be condensing in the EERS assembly. I assume you have insulated that tubing? Would there be anyway to include silica gel desiccant into the HME?

Yes, I put a fleece cover on it all the way up to the mask.  There are probably better more insulated covers available but I don't see any evidence it will be enough to matter.

I am using a similar set up for EERS and also have had issues with the water buildup...I have found that bringing as much of the hose as possible "under the covers" to keep warm really helps. A heated hose is also handy especially in conjunction with a cover.
