Water in CPAP Tubing and Mask - SOLUTION | What is CPAP Rainout?

There are a few reasons why the tube for a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine may collect water:

Humidifier: If the CPAP machine has a built-in humidifier, water from the humidifier can condense in the tube. This is more likely to happen in colder temperatures or if the humidification level is set too high.

Leaks: If there are any leaks in the seal between the mask and the face, or leaks in the tube, air can escape and cause condensation to form.

Length of tube: The longer the tube, the more likely it is to collect water due to the increased surface area inside the tube.

Travel: When traveling with a CPAP machine, changes in temperature and humidity can cause condensation to form in the tube.

It's important to drain the tube of any water, in order to ensure the air delivered is at the correct pressure and also in order to avoid mold from growing, which can be inhaled. If you have a humidifier it may help to adjust the humidity level, and to check for leaks, also can be helpful to use a hose cover to reduce condensation.
