By Anne G. RPSGT, RST, MScRegistered Sleep Therapist, Registered Polysomnographic Technologist and Master in Sleep Medicineanne@respshop.com The main reason for a heated hose is to avoid moisture build-up in the CPAP tube. If you use a fan at night or if your bed is near a window, sometimes the moisture from the humidifier can condense and pool in the hose before it gets to your airway.When this happens, it can wake you up by creating a loud popping sound as the air blows past the water, and in some cases can cause what we refer to as "rainout" where the water starts to splash onto your face or pour into your nose.The heated hose insulates the air from the cooler temperatures in your room to avoid this. As an added bonus, you can even adjust the temperature in the heated hose for your comfort, making this a great upgrade to the standard hose!
