condensation in tubing - cdm807 - 11-16-2021
An infrequent user, so topic might have been covered. But sometimes I seem to get condensation in my tubing, which gurgles and I have to stop using the machine until moisture is gone. Cause? Suggestions on avoiding?

Turn down humidifier. Use heated tube. Use a hose cover. Put the machine lower than sleeping height.
All of those can be the problem.

There's 4 solutions that I'm aware of. You may need to turn down the humidifier a click. You may need to add a heated hose and/or use a hose cover to insulate it. And the fourth is to use a hose hanger to make the hose travel up and away from the PAP then angled back down to your mask. Any combination of these may be your best solution.
