Water in the tube after adding water tthe humidifier reservoir beyond a certain point

[drago7579]

I have a Resmed AirSense11. When I add water beyond the first line (approx halfway to the max), I will notice water entering the tube. Have any of you run into this issue? Wonder if this a flaw with my specific machine or a common issue or something to do with my settings? My humidity level is set to 5.  The problem with just adding water to that first line is I'll wake up with my sinuses congested after the water runs out.

I've only had that issue due to rain-out, but never seen any water actually go through and into the tub from the resovoir.

It should not happen. It might be condensation. You can use a heated hose.

I think I will try raising the hose temperature  to 84 (from 80) and lower the humidity slightly (from 5 to 4).

This device requires so much experimentation. A year and a half and I still don't have it right.

Lots of folks here who struggle with condensation use a hose lifter.  Amazon sells lots of different ones.  Here's an example of a cheap one that works well:
