Though I appreciate your willingness to write a long reply, I specifically asked people with AirSense 10 to please NOT REPLY because this is a AirSense 11 problem. I used the 10 for over seven years with no problem.

The issue with A10 people replying is that your info does not help, but it makes it very difficult for readers in the future to scroll through answers to find information that actually relates to their machine. There is a post from two years ago on this same issue and it is filled with A10 users trying to help. But there is no resolution for A11 users. That is why I posted again.

Sierra, I know you are trying to be helpful, however, I just looked back and you were the person who hijacked the post from two years ago too. Please stop doing that.

This issue is specific to ResMed AirSense S-11. Please do not reply about older AirSense models. They do not have this problem.

13 year CPAP user. I used a Resmed S-9 for 6 years, and S-10 for 7 years. Never have had any rainout of humidity / tubing issues. Just switched to an S-11 and have had nothing but problems.

I have been getting horrible rainout problems. Here are the things I have tried (multiple times)

1. Set Climate Control to Auto Result feels like no humidity at all. I wake repeatedly in the night because I am dried out and end up with a sinus headache due to no moisture.
2. Bought a hose cover. Doesn’t seem to make any difference.
3. Have tried all sorts of settings for humidity and tube temp Nothing seems to work. I am either dried out or rained out. No middle ground.
4. Replaced the heated tubing Interestingly, that seemed to help on the first night. But the second night, I was back to rainout.
5. Tried putting the tubing under the covers in addition to the hose cover. It does not seem to make a difference.

The tubing never feels warm. With my S-9 and S-10, I could feel the tubing warm up. The water tank level does decrease (but I think the water mostly ends up in the tubing).

I saw a post on here from two years ago, but saw no solution for a S-11. Lot’s of people replied with their experience using a S-10. But I have never had problems like this with an S-10. This seems specific to the S-11. There was no solution for the S-11 on the other post. Just replies about similar issues.
