Sounds like you are getting too much humidity. Maybe you should turn down the humidifier or bypass it altogether. If you live in a humid climate the humidifier may not be necessary. I don't use my humidifier in the summer as the humidity in the air is plenty, but I have to use it in the winter as the heating system makes my home extremely dry. My respirologist cautioned me about too much humidity. If there is moisture at the output vent where the hose attaches to the CPAP machine, there is too much. He warned me that the mositure is getting into the machine and can destroy the inside of the machine. The machine is too expensive to replace especially if it could have been avoided with less humidity. Hopefully this info will prevent any further drowning.
