Water collects in the six foot hose when the ambient room air is much colder than the heated CPAP air, or when there is too much moisture being produced by the humidifier. First be sure that no vents or fans blow directly onto the CPAP hose. Next, try turning down the temperature on the heated humidifier. If that alleviates the problem but causes irritation to the nasal passages, return the humidifier to the previous setting and add an insulating sleeve to the hose. If neither response works, try using a heated CPAP hose.  more
