This helps. I just got my cpap yesterday and had a blissful few hours of sleep until about 2am when it sounded like water in the tube. Sure enough, rainout. I'm gonna try a tube sleeve, but for now I'm also gonna try setting the machine lower to the ground.

You may want to turn the humidity down a notch.

[@birboguapo]

Thank you for the video. I dry out the tube, I have a heated tube, I’ve turned the humidity off, there is no water in the chamber, I use tube insulation and I live in a dry climate. I still get rain out. Anything else I can try to mitigate rain out?

[@CPAPmyway]

If you are not adding water to the chamber and you are still getting condensation in the tubing. I am baffled. There should not be excess condensation without water to condense I wouldn't think. I am sorry, but I am not sure what you can do on this one. Good luck though and thanks for reaching out.

[@andrewcalhoun7214]

I have the same problem. No water in chamber and machine shuts down, "tube blocked" due to condensation, even with tube heated to 86. resmed11.

[@chrisbunker2573]

Hey. Thanks for your videos. They are very informative and helpful. I do have a question though. I have the airsence 11 and I have the humidifier set at 6 and the heated tube at 30 degrees Celsius. I’m not getting any rain out thankfully but I do get a little bit moisture in my F20 full face mask. Is this ok? Or should it by dry when u wake up? I thought it was ok because I’m not getting rain out and I personally like the moisture as it makes my sleep quite comfortable. But I can’t seem to get a straight answer about the minimal moisture that I get. Is it because the humidity is too high or could that be from my warm air as I exhale? Thanks 😊

[@WeAreColorOfWater]

So I already have the heated tube, and have a nasal mask and temperature setting at 60 degrees with humidity at 2. I tried it at 72 but don’t like heated air being forced into my lungs. It uses a full reservoir every night, and recently has been getting my nose wet with an annoying gurgle-popping sound. I live in eastern Washington with pretty high humidity this winter, but it’s been using a lot of water since early fall. My house temp is a constant 69 degrees. Any suggestions you can offer?

[@dragnbane]

@Midecoh San the only time I got a gurgle was when I accidentally overfilled it, once I drained some water it stopped

[@WeAreColorOfWater]

I will try that. mine works fine until the water level gets low, at about 3 am.then I get drenched.

[@markgreenslade5355]

After I wash my CPAP tube, I get beads of water in the tube for days. Hanging the tube doesn't help and my CPAP has auto-shutoff. Any ideas on what I can do? I bought an extra tube, so I can alternate, but I'm worried I'll get mold in the washed tube because of the length of time it is taking to dry out.

[@CPAPmyway]

I would try hooking up the CPAP tube and running the CPAP for a bit without any water in the water chamber. This dry air blowing through should dry it out pretty quick. If the unit has an Auto Off feature then you may want to put a small piece of paper towel in the end to restrict the air flow slightly and trick the CPAP into continual running. Might make your Compliance reports look a little funny. ;)

Is it better to adjust the humidifier or have it at auto?

[@CPAPmyway]

Most people do well on the Auto Setting.

[@CarnivoreNomad]

What do you recommend if you already have heated tubing and you have your tube heat and humidity set to Auto and are still getting rain out??? Switch them off Auto and mess with raising the tubing temp and lowering the humidity until you get it right?

[@CPAPmyway]

Yes unfortunately you will have to do some manual adjustment to the humidity to see what can work.

[@CarnivoreNomad]

@@CPAPmyway I just got the machine last Wednesday... and they asked me if I keep my room cold, I said yea, which is why they gave me the heated tubing... the first three nights everything went well, then I woke up Sunday Morning with water in my nasal cup and tubing, tried moving my machine to a lower level (that was what I was told by others people who use a CPAP machine) and this morning woke up with the same problem, only with more water than last time

[@Tortuga89R]

[@sueh1091]

hello - can you use the heated tube WITHOUT the humidifier? also I like to sleep with a cooler room but my nose mask which is small, collects condensation and drips on my nose within 2 hours so I essentially have to wake up every 2 hours to dry it out with Kleenex or a cloth... is there anything I can do for that problem? would a tube snuggy help with that at all, even in a cooler room?

[@CPAPmyway]

You can use a heated tube on some models without the humidifier. The colder the room, the more condensation you will see in the tubing. A tubing snuggie would help insulate the tube and reduce condensation and water.

[@janillerivera8434]

I just got all my parts replaced and now I’m getting rained on every night. It’s all on auto but the humidifier seems to be warming up more than before. Not sure what to do.

[@CPAPmyway]

First step would be to lower the humidity level. There are also some other great tips in this video for resolving water in the CPAP tube.

[@bobmarjoram7791]

So what if you use the heated tube and still get the popping sounds in the tube? I had to turn up the humidity to 5 from 3 because I would wake up with a dried out mouth in the night and morning. Could the heated tube be failing?

[@CPAPmyway]

Are you seeing a temp setting in the patient settings? If not the heated tube may not be working.

[@tstahler5420]

The only reason it "pops" is because your chamber is over filled. It says full or max for a reason. Once the water level drops below full, the popping will stop. I know this because I did it last night. 😂 Watching Dexter and not paying attention to the level. Just a little over and the popping started. Took about 30 mins to stop. Live and learn.

[@CPAPmyway]

Hmmm.......That does not sound right. The heated hoses have a universal 22mm connection on all models except the new DreamStation 2 Heated Hose. Those connections should fit any mask. In the DreamStation 2 case there is an adapter that i have linked below for you. The adapter will allow you to connect the mask direct to the heated hose. That should help. Two hoses would definitely cause rainout. If he is not using a DreamStation 2 Heated hose, then something else is up I think.

Have a heated tube (F&P). Can't completely dry the damn thing out after washing. It just won't dry out. Plugging into machine doesn't seem to help, as the air powers down when it detects I'm not using it (not completely off, but not enough to be any use).

You may have to use something like a hair dryer or hang it up to help with that unfortunately. I would definitely adjust the humidity down if you can though to limit the continuation of the issue.

You shold definitely decrease the humidity setting on the CPAP until that humidity issue is gone. You can add a heated tube, but will have to consider the oxygen bleed in if you do. They make specific heated tubes for oxygen bleed in.

Ohmygoodness. Thank you!!! This is very very helpful. I'm still just a little bit confused about the difference between lowering the humidity setting and increasing the temp. I've had no issues until this past week or so, when I started waking up with a very wet mask and nose area, and sometimes getting splattered in my face when I take the mask off. I have been using my ResMed CPAP machine since the beginning of March. It has been on the Auto settings from the beginning. I have been afraid to mess with the settings, but I think I do need to change something now. I'm just not clear on if I should change the humidity or the temp. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me

[@CPAPmyway]

You should adjust the tube temp in accordance with the humidity setting usually. However if you have rainout/water in the tube, then you may just want to increase the tube temp slightly to help that issue.

[@thvirginian]

got rid of the water altogether couple weeks ago. still tries to drown me.

Not sure if this is related, but I'm jut trying to reach out to anybody. My machine fell off the nightstand yesterday and now it seems like no air is going through the hose, despite the power being on and it sounds like it's working. I feel no air in the hose when I take it off the mask and the only air I feel, is my own exhaled air out of the exhalation port instead of the machine air. I took the hose and the water chamber in and out. I have also unplugged the machine. I am getting replacement supposed being shipped on schedule, but that was prior to the incident. Is my machine broken?

[@CPAPmyway]

Well hopefully it is not broken. Did any of the water from the humidifier get back inside the CPAP at all?

[@SLCoolJ2K3]

@@CPAPmyway, maybe. I went thru all sorts of troubleshooting through things I read and videos like yours. I even joined some support groups on social media. I talked to my sleep center moments ago. I'm scheduled for a machine evaluation tomorrow and I'm potentially getting a loaner device tomorrow.

@@CPAPmyway Update: Went to my sleep center. They had my machine for a week. I am picking it up tomorrow morning. I had a loaner in the meantime. Seems like the machine was fine. It may have been damaged supplies because in my newest shipment of supplies, the loaner device worked fine. As long as my new supplies will work with my original machine, I should be good to go.

[@simmon81au]

What about water under your machine?

[@CPAPmyway]

That would be from a leaky humidifier chamber in almost all cases. Need to replace the water tank. Link to them below. cpapmyway.com/store/water-chamber

[@tjafallen3]

Won’t running tube not attached with mask to my face show up as air leak on the scorecard

[@CPAPmyway]

Yeh. In that case you may want to remove the tube and drape it over a doorway.

[@amandasteven1400]

we can set it to AUTO (3:11) but what does that mean though? doesn't mean condensation will AUTOMATICALLY not form in the tube b'cuz we tried it :)

[@CPAPmyway]

The Auto setting is built to calculate the rooms temp and humidity so that the proper amount of humidity can be added. it doesn't work for everyone. Some users will still have to make manual adjustments to get their perfect setting

[@amandasteven1400]

Help please!!! 😥 My partner has been coughing since using this machine (heated tube one). It's a very SERIOUS cough that will make him vomit and nearly pass out in the morning. The cough continues throughout the day but not as bad as the morning. I've gone to the specialist we bought this from, doctors have given him breathing tests and puffers galore but they can't seem to figure it out. Now, he was not cleaning it properly for a the first year. He didn't even know it had a filter. We've only been together 5 months and it has gotten better because I'm forcing him to do something about it. I’ve been doing all the research, cleaning & Journaling of every change or medication to try & rule things out but I REALLY think it's from the machine. Doctors have no idea what it is. I don't know if he's even telling them about the cpap. The company we bought it from has no idea. We've gotten ride of the ozone cleaner which apparently is not fda approved and as upset he is about how much he's spent on that machine, that alone seems to have helped a bit but, still I'm scared I'm going to lose him to this darn coughing!!! Any & all advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!! Thank you!!

[@CPAPmyway]

Wow! That does not sound fun. Unfortunately, I do not think that I would be able to help much outside of recommending proper maintenance on the CPAP. This sounds like something that would be best addressed by a Specialist Dr. Sorry I can't be of more help.

[@ChrisStumer]

I'd talk to your doctor about that as soon as possible.

[@charityschneidewend479]

Things i thinknof when reading this is ; not clean, mold, filter needs to be changed, rais the humidity, dry air is not good for breathing. Also go get his lungs checked.

[@Guitarman841]

What about water in the mask I have the medium pillow?

[@CPAPmyway]

That usually stems from the same problem and can be solved in the same way as the tubing issue.

[@405oso]

Will this cause you to wake up with a mouth full of water as well ?

[@CPAPmyway]

That sounds like a pretty extreme case of "rain-out", but it would be a possibility to get water in your mouth.

[@rickbee7016]

Not true mine just shoots water up when using mouth piece

[@CPAPmyway]

Sorry that the water issue has been so bad on your CPAP.

[@alistairbalistair9596]

I have the heated tube but the condensation occurs in the nose piece :(

[@CPAPmyway]

Unfortunately that may not be easily fixed. The only thing that you can try is to reduce the humidity setting on the CPAP and see if you can resolve the condensation issue without drying yourself out. If you feel dry after reducing the humidity level then you will have to turn it back up.

[@alistairbalistair9596]

@@CPAPmyway thanks for reply... i reduced it to 1 last night and I was still woken up with cool water in the nose piece :( not sure what to do... id rather sleep poorly than not at all

@@alistairbalistair9596 You should probably try a new Heated Hose in case it went bad.

[@mimiashford5544]

Yeah, hanging the tubing over a door to dry out just isn't practical at 3AM. I am one who had their AMAZING Dream Station replaced by a MASSIVELY INFERIOR RESmart Auto & all the thing does is gurgle & spit water all night long, even at the lowest humidity - A problem I never ONCE experienced with 4 years of using the Dream Station. (To the point that I thought the machine was toast right out of the box... I had no idea cpap/bipap machines do this.) Doesn't help that changing RESmart settings is difficult AND won't allow for a stronger ramp level. Wondering if anyone knows where to purchase a modified (replaced filter) Dream Machine?

[@CPAPmyway]

Thanks for input.

[@Hs-tu2sl]

My heated tube popped all night I have no clue what I'm doing

[@CPAPmyway]

Almost certainly condensation in the tubing. I would dry it out really well, and then increase the tube temp for the next night.
