CPAP question

My CPAP has developed a nasty habit of throwing water at me, and it's getting really annoying. I'm up this morning (one of my few this summer to sleep in) before either of my kids, only due to rain on my cheeks. I'm using distilled water - though gotta admit, I have used tap water on occasion when I've run out - but that shouldn't affect anything, should it? The water doesn't go through the machine, so there can't be mineral buildup in there. Am I missing something in machine/hose/mask maintenance? Or is it a machine setting that must be taken care of by the company who brought it to me? HELP! I really don't need to be watered - and I'm afraid I'll keep growing if this keeps happening! Beth

Hi Beth - How high is the cpap machine relative to your bed? I was having trouble with condensation (spitting water at me****il I found out from my pulmonary therapist that placing the machine and humidifier at the same level as my head would solve the problem. He was right. It's worth a try. Judy

I had the same problem, mine was setting higher then my head and it started to rain. I then placed it on the floor next to the bed and no problems since.
