Amazing reviews and info. I’m scoring 98 to 100 every night thanks to you with a fine tune of pressure and temperature. No more nose pillow leaks and the dreaded stuffy nose and dry mouth. Feel amazing. Miles more energy and clarity. Keep up the fantastic work!!!
The ResMed 10 is now 10 years old South Australia does not have the 11 as yet as today they could not tell me when it is coming I do not have any unit I was going to get one today The 10 with face mask is over $2,000 and it’s old technology What do you suggest Get model 10 ? Jump to another brand ? Wait for 11 knowing the reviews are not as good? Can you please start selling machines Greg
If you cannot stand hot steam blowing in your face, you can turn off the heat in the tube and maximize the humidity. Of course, this is going to cause rain out, but I've learned that putting a paper towel in the bottom of the full face mask each night will absorb it. It is strange how you refer to temperatures in different areas. I'm going to go way out on a limb and assume that most of us who have CPAP machines live in heated homes
Thanks for this! It's rare to get such an in depth tutorial for any product, let alone something as niche as this. You're doing a massive solid to the world!
Being able to turn off the humidifier and hose heater can be very important if you’re experiencing an electrical black out and running off of battery power.
This video is WONDERFUL! I wake up in the morning with my sinus so dry that I have blood clots! My old device was much more efficient. But it's been in the low teens and my machine sets on the floor (we live in a camper). I noticed that my water reservoir was still full this morning, so pretty sure it isn't heating the water in the reservoir. I changed the hose temp and the humidity level. Hoping it does tge trick for me mate! THANKS!
Great information once again. I'm still trying to get my AS 11 set up. It's funny, but I didn't have this much trouble with my old AS 10. But again, you're the best and I'm so happy to see your channel growing the way it has. You're definitely the CPAP go to guru!
This video is frickin’ superb Nick! This has been a significant topic on the FB page. You explained climate control (not to be confused with climate change) brilliantly mate. Cheers!
Hey Kath . Oh that's very kind of you to say my dear . It's bloody hard to explain / understand that's for sure but once you understand a few concepts it certainly helps when making changes to the therapy climate. I think explaining climate change would probably be easier haha. All the best mate and i see your badge has changed to 1 month so thank you for that extra support. You rock. Nick
Great explainations, thanks. On night 2 of my airsense 10 and my first machine. Night one was pretty good, nose and throat werent too bad but my lips and bottom of my nostrils were pretty dry and sore. Increased the temp a degree tonight and will see how it goes. Climate still on auto.
Good information. I started out with the obligatory Auto/Auto setting. That was a wreck. Read a bunch of Resmed information and watched some UA-cam videos. They all say the same thing. If you are congested, increase the humidity and/or temperature. That was even a bigger wreck. Finally (slowly) worked my way down to a level that works. 74 degrees with the humidity set on 1 or 2 (usually 1). If I increase the humidity, my sinuses will be congested within 5 minutes. The only time I get dried out sinuses is if I have a large mask leak, which hasn't been the case for a while. Also, when my sinuses congest, my events will increase as well. So my experience is that the advice to increase humidity might decrease your congestion, but don't hesitate to go the other direction and lower your humidity to get a better night's sleep. It worked for me. (Airsense 11)
I just got diagnosed with sleep apnea April this year. I'm desperate for sleep. I'm tired all day long. I sleep 3 to 5 hours a night followed by what I call a worthless nap. I'm desperate for sleep and energy I won't give up CPAP therapy.
Over the last 2 vids, I have learnt a lot. I have now adjusted the max pressure to 20 and the low to 7. As I have an airfit 20 full mask , I felt sometimes that I wasn’t getting enough air.. after I have adjusted with the clinical settings, I am breathing better. Just for some info- my first assessment before purchasing a machine, I was having about 99 apnea per hour with the longest being 90 seconds. Now my AHI is 0.7 and AI 0.3, central AI 0.
The average pressure for most people is around 10 More severe apnea may be higher. Setting your pressure from 7, to 20 i would not recommend that. The machine doesn't start adjusting Pressure till it senses that you're asleep by the way you breathe patterns are. Pull those numbers closer together 20 is very high pressure And 7 is low Giving you the feeling you're not being able to breath & the high pressure at 20 may cause central apnea to happen. The goal is to find a number the lowest number which still gives The pressure to treat your apnea. My pressure settings are from 10 to 12 1/2, I average around 11. You can see your average on your machine in the menu. On the air sens 10 you also have the ability to switch from auto to constant pressure cpap. Once you narrow down to that number that works for you this is the best option for most, my number is 11.
I have been watching your videos on the ResMed, and I get mine TOMORROW!!!!! A ResMed 10 auto!!! I can HARDLY wait!!! My AHI is 16 and deep sleep AHI is 63!!!! GEEZ!!! do I even BREATH???? Always exhausted and sometimes wake up with night terrors. Thank you for all your information! REALLY helps.
Brilliant tutorial. I’ve had the Aiden’s 11 for almost 2 years and just took it in this morning for repair just barely within the warranty period. I started getting an error message saying heating system error. Therapy may run without heat. I now feel I have an understanding of the climate and heating systems and can use them correctly assuming the machine is repaired properly.
Hi Nick A very informative video! Unfortunately my Phillips was recalled and I ended up getting a Res Med. Worse mistake ever!! With my Phillips I could set the humidifier at 3/4 out of 5 and wake up with water still in the tank. (normally still half full) My Resmed? Waking up in the morning with a bone dry water tank. With my lips stuck to my gums, dry and sore throat. Doesn't matter the setting as I've tried settings from 4 clear up to 8. Tried with and without the heated tube still having a empty water tank. Even with a recall I'm seriously considering going back to my Phillips so I at least don't have to suffer with my dry conditions. Best wishes Duane
No wonder it feels like sticking my face in an oven! 80 freaking degrees? I turned my tube temp off completely and turned off the ramp up, so it's blowing fairly cool air. I turned the humidity up to max, and put a paper towel in the pouch at the bottom of my full face mask to soak up the rain out. Nice cool moist air. Scored my first 100 when I did that.
A newbie and a Brit who has just started with my ResMed AirSense 10. Due to a cliff fall accident as a child I smashed up my nose, then a few operations in life I now at 70 can't really breather through my nose and most of life always had a dry mouth. What I am having a problem is that my machine set by my Doctor and told me to just get use to the mask, which I am slowly doing and then we can look at tweaking, which I see the sense in. What I am finding hard is that the air being pump feels to 'warm' to me, and have had a couple of panic attacks requiring to stick my head out of the windown or even go out into my garden, to breathe 'cold' fresh air. I don't have a humidifier or special tube but what you spoke about and I saw in the setting 'temperature' IF can do, with the special would I be able just to make the air become COOLER only and stop sometimes the feeling of suffocating. I was told by the British compnay that sells ResMed, I could try putting a bowl of ice cubes right next to the air suction filter, I did, plenty of them but I could tell no difference. Would really appreciate an answer please, as I am close to giving up as the stress, not getting sleep and panic attacks, at my age I think will kill before the Sleep Apnea does.
I would like to say a huge thankyou for letting us know about the Phillips debacle. I contacted Phillips about November last year. I have just received a notification they are replacing my unit with a new one. All I have to do is send them the settings. It's a fixed pressure unit. It will then be sent to me. I expect it may take a while. If it was not for your incredible work I would never have known! I also would not achieved the excellent result. Again thankyou for all your great work. I also purchased the BMC AUTO machine you recommended. It's excellent :) All the best :) Brendon
Been using the manual tube temp and humidifier controllers past 5 years. Pretty much have it “dialed” in :-) If it’s raining and high humidity = humidifier down tube mid range. Cold dry winter nights tube temp up and humidity up. Dry hot summer nights tube temp down humidity up. GBU
Great detailed video, my issue is I like my room to be very cold when I sleep usually between 55 and 60 degrees fahrenheit, how can I set my machine to give me maximum humidity at a low room ambient temperature and not have rain out?
Helpful info! I find that the auto-auto mode on my Resmed 10 end up causing "rain out" in the nose mask, flooding the mask and nose with moisture. So at present I'm using manual settings to have the system provide some moisture, but not enough to "rain out" the mask.
Nice on Matt, thanks for sharing your experience . Here's the thing, once that air leaves the heated tube it can quickly cool down in the mask as the mask does not have any protection from the outside elements. When that warm, humid air hit's the cold walls of the mask cushion it can easily condensate (think breathing on a cold window). Rainout in the mask is very hard to overcome however heating your room a little will also do the trick. Best wishes mate. Nicko
Thanks Nick, I am definitely one of those who has stuck with the auto mode. Never been able to stop water accumulating in the tube with more humidity before. Something to try. Cheers.
Manual mode decouple tube temp and humidity but you have to deal with consequences, if your tube air isn't heated enough to carry all the humidity that the humidifier is generating then your tube and mask will start to have condensation and you will feel splashes on your face waking you up possibly. Once you play with it for few nights you will discover your favourite settings relative to your season and bedroom temp(air conditioning).Good luck.
Buenas tardes, teniendo en cuenta que en América Latina somos muchísimos los pacientes que usamos estos productos, sería de gran utilidad que hubiera versión en Español de estos videos.
Is it ok to put a tube cover over the Resmed Climateline tube? Due to a medical condition, I feel cold sometimes even with the tube temp set at 30°. So I'm trying to warm things up a bit more. Thanks for your videos.
I didn't understand how to use manual instead of auto, when I was getting rain-out. Thanks for this tutorial. Hoping for a better sleep tonight with all this new information.
Thaks very much for this video.. It's chock full of useful info! Quick question: besides the heated tube, do I need to purchase any other piece to make it work on my AirSense 10, or do all the AirSense 10`s come pre-equipped to provide power to the tube?
Hey!! I wasn't offered a Resmed but was sold a Luna II by 3B medical - I hate it LOL. BUT, I figured I'd let you know I just received an email from Philips saying MY REPLACEMENT IS ON IT'S WAY!! Yeehaw, LOL. I do not know WHAT machine they're sending tho, I just got a fed ex tracking number. I'll update you when I get it. Thanks for all of these videos and staying on top of this. :)
Thanks for your information! No one follows up on my use. I get calls to refill parts, but no explanation for fine tuning. Do you have a video for dummies setting up Oskar or other programs??
Thanks for the video. I am not sure why 30/86 degrees is the default. It seems to be pretty high if I compare (wrongly perhaps) to HVAC settings inside a house that is at least 10 degrees lower. Can you explain? Thanks
The "Tube Temp" option on my AirSense 10 sets digitally, it doesn't look the way it looks in this video, and, it doesn't have an "Auto" setting. Possibly because I don't have the humidifier installed, which is also possibly why I don't see the "Climate Ctrl" option on my display, either. I have my heated tubing set to 82 degrees, and it's very nice. No more ice-cube nose from breathing cold air! My takeaway from this video is that it's best to just use the "Manual" setting, then you can adjust the tube temperature and humidity independently of each other.
Thanks for the advice. Ive been pushing my temp up trying to allieviate the dryness in my mouth and the need to drink water a number of times thru the night. Now that i know i can increase the humidity hopefully ill make some progress🙂
Hello Nick from the great state of New Jersey. I usually put a glass of water in the fridge to really cool down the water chamber before retiring for the night. I enjoy cool moist air before falling asleep. I have humidity and tube temp on auto right now. Unfortunately, the tube heats up too quickly for my taste. Is there a way of retarding the speed at which the tube heats up? BTW, i have learned more about sleep apnea from you in the few vids that i have watched than what i have known for the last 6 years. Keep up the great work!
HI Mate, thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you can teach an old dog new trick . There's no way to slow the speed mate . All the best brother. Nicko
Hi, thanks for the content!!! ¿What happens when the Airsense 10 runs out of water? ¿Does it keep warming the water chamber (and therefore warming the air)?
Hi Katrina, tough question mate. If you're using an AirPro and have the humidity and heated tube on then it's going to drain it pretty fast the higher the heated tube / humid settings. Most people use any battery systems with heated tube and humidity completely switched off so that the battery lasts longer. If you are charging it up each day then it might last 1-2 nights with heat and humidity settings on but i would keep them low as to not draw to much battery power. Best wishes matey. Nick . Have fun away camping
Thank you! Just what I needed. God I love UA-cam. It would take me an hour to get this info on the phone with my gear provider. Probably more, they'd probably make me bring it on, or do a house call and bill me.
Thanks for the video. I struggle with this issue all the time, especially in winter. I am in north Texas and it gets cold sometimes. I am a mouth breather and I routinely wake up very very dry. If I increase the humidity level beyond 5 with a temp of 81 or 82 F , I get a lot of rain out On manual mode. I also have a tube covering that is supposed to help, but it doesn’t seem to do much. Would it benefit me to try the Auto feature instead?
cornerstoneproductio. I agree. Very relaxed and informative....(not forgetting humorous, you deviot 🤣) I've been waking up regularly throughout the night with an incredibly dry mouth, a coarse dry cough and a very annoying runny nose, which lasts all day.I had blamed my CPAP for that and decided to try having a break from that, then was tired for days. So, when all else fails...you Tube it, and here I am.I got in and had a fiddle with some of my adjustments. After 2 nights, no more dry throat, cough or runny nose. No tiredness either. Thanks for all the advice.
I'm in the middle of watching your video. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I just received the machine today and will be using it tonight. Allow me to throw a "what if" out there, lol. What if you're an over the road truck driver who has to take and use the machine every time bedtime comes. Shutting down to go to bed in a number of different states that are at different climates, and where the temperature can be a difference of 20 degrees fahrenheit +, -. Should I just use auto?
* Hello. If people tend to live in arid-type climates (i.e., Southern California) would we need the Resmed Climate Line HEATED TUBING? We live 40 min. inland from the ocean...and it is arid-dry. Hardly any humidity.*
I purchased the airsense 11 and no matter the temperature I select, the tube doesn't feel warm. Is this normal? Ran the machine on 30°C for a few nights and it was still cold. Resmed looked at the machine and said there was nothing wrong. Long story short, should the tube feel warm during the night? I'm onto my fourth climateline tube in seven months! Cheers, Andrew
Q. Did you develop your view on how the Climate Control works from trial and error OR has someone at ResMed provided help? I ask because ResMed was very unhelpful when I raised questions. Folks should also be informed that using supplemental O2 affects Climate Control operations as well.
Hi Dan, unfortunately ResMed never provides any help to me an i figure out all this stuff by myself. I have wrote to them many times but if / when i receive a response the answers are normally very vague and uninformative. Thanks for the info on the 02 stuff also
I have one of these machines and I live in the USA. Is there any way to have the machine tell you when the water is getting low? Also I notced something on your machine. You have a pressure relief setting, my machine does not have this setting.
I watch your videos a lot. Thanks for those. I replaced the motor on a ResMed 10 thanks to you. Had a very noisy machine. However now I am getting super back pressure when I wear the mask, to the point where its impossible to release after I inhale. Got any pointers?? thanks
Hello there! I´ve finally got the climateline tube! Yay! I´ve been waiting for months to have it. I am from Argentina and now is more than impossible to get Resmed products thanks to our brilliant goverment. All imports are heavily restricted... yes, even medical devices and stuff alike :/ I love your channel, is helping me a lot!
Hi there, i understand however if i went into every possible scenario the video would be 5 hours long. I did mention a few times that colder air can hold less humidity and i've also done many other videos on rainout in the past. All the best. Nicko
% humidity year round & A/C tries to DRY it out, playing havock with CPAP/APAP settings. My sister owns the house & given she controls the temperature, plays havock with my comfort & APAP. Love your Videos & try to catch everyone. 🤠
Thanks a lot from all the way up there, New Brunswick Canada. Although my first language is french acadian, i have no probs understanding your accent. Salut.
Nick mate, you explain very well. But you do not address my apparent problem. That is. I find in the morning that I have droplets of water throughout the length of the tube. Also in the early morning I get loud popping noises from the mask area (small valves flapping in the mask attachment ?) as I breath. Too noisy for my wife (and me) Which makes me to turn off the machine. My thought is that the outside temperature drops in the early morning and the moisture inside the tube condenses and bungs up the small valves in the upper tube to mask adapter, creating the noise? But I not sure what to adjust to stop my problem. I have the An ResMed AirSense 10 with heated tube. I am currently on Auto for Humidity and Temperature. I think I can deal with the manual adjustments and fix this by trial and error. Raising the temperature and lowering the humidity? But you may be able to short circuit this process for me. Can you help?? Thanks I have solved my problem. Go Manual. Increase Temp of tube and decrease Humidity. Worked.
With a setting of 8, my unit only gets warm,not hot to the touch. I have nearly a half tank of water left after 6-8 hours. Is the plate faulty? I also wonder if it has the correct fuse? Mine says D98C.
Sleep Tech here & I actually researched out the “Auto Climate Control” due to patients complaining of issues with dry throat/mouth, sinus issues etc on Auto Climate settings. The information is not readily available! I have even searched ResMed’s site for patients & Providers & I couldn’t find an explanation nearly as good as you have done. I will definitely be sharing this video with colleagues & recommending it to my patients!! Thank you 🙏
I’m 18 days in and I want to give up. I messed with all the settings and can’t get it right. Have 2 good nights. I get water drops in my noise currently. Woke up feeling like I couldn’t breathe. Humidity set at 2. Tube temp 82 degrees

The ResMed 10 is now 10 years old
South Australia does not have the 11 as yet as today they could not tell me when it is coming
I do not have any unit
I was going to get one today
The 10 with face mask is over $2,000 and it’s old technology
What do you suggest
Get model 10 ?
Jump to another brand ?
Wait for 11 knowing the reviews are not as good?
Can you please start selling machines

A ResMed 10 auto!!! I can HARDLY wait!!!
My AHI is 16 and deep sleep AHI is 63!!!! GEEZ!!! do I even BREATH???? Always exhausted and sometimes wake up with night terrors.
Thank you for all your information! REALLY helps.

Thanks for your helpfull information. SETTING in Manual Mode: Humidity Level 4 and Temperature 27 °C. Greetings from Germany.
You are welcome!
Thanks, I have lean slot from you, I'll try to change the setting, after I change to N30i, almost every night I have dry mouth. I from Singapore.
You are awesome. You have the best explanations out of all UA-cam. Subscribed.
Thanks for this, I am still trying to get my system dialed in and your videos are a life saver. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome. Have a great day!

You're so pleasant and funny! Pretty astounding considering the material. Thanks for a great, informative, video. ❤
Been using the manual tube temp and humidifier controllers past 5 years.
Pretty much have it “dialed” in :-)
If it’s raining and high humidity = humidifier down tube mid range.
Cold dry winter nights tube temp up and humidity up.
Dry hot summer nights tube temp down humidity up.

Great detailed video, my issue is I like my room to be very cold when I sleep usually between 55 and 60 degrees fahrenheit, how can I set my machine to give me maximum humidity at a low room ambient temperature and not have rain out?
Nicely put fella, I'm looking for less humidity, more heat, winter approaching here in Scotland, be trying manual tonight. All the best 👍🏻
Nice one buddy, there's another vid that goes into it in more detail if you're interested - ua-cam.com/video/a_-VBpXOV8s/v-deo.htmlsi=f_ZC_J0u0dP2eFts
Helpful info! I find that the auto-auto mode on my Resmed 10 end up causing "rain out" in the nose mask, flooding the mask and nose with moisture. So at present I'm using manual settings to have the system provide some moisture, but not enough to "rain out" the mask.
Nice on Matt, thanks for sharing your experience . Here's the thing, once that air leaves the heated tube it can quickly cool down in the mask as the mask does not have any protection from the outside elements. When that warm, humid air hit's the cold walls of the mask cushion it can easily condensate (think breathing on a cold window). Rainout in the mask is very hard to overcome however heating your room a little will also do the trick. Best wishes mate. Nicko
Thanks Nick, I am definitely one of those who has stuck with the auto mode. Never been able to stop water accumulating in the tube with more humidity before. Something to try. Cheers.
Nice one legend . Thanks for sharing your experience. Nick
thank so much Nick for this video. love the way you delivered the instructions. take care.
Manual mode decouple tube temp and humidity but you have to deal with consequences, if your tube air isn't heated enough to carry all the humidity that the humidifier is generating then your tube and mask will start to have condensation and you will feel splashes on your face waking you up possibly. Once you play with it for few nights you will discover your favourite settings relative to your season and bedroom temp(air conditioning).Good luck.
Buenas tardes, teniendo en cuenta que en América Latina somos muchísimos los pacientes que usamos estos productos, sería de gran utilidad que hubiera versión en Español de estos videos.
Is it ok to put a tube cover over the Resmed Climateline tube?
Due to a medical condition, I feel cold sometimes even with the tube temp set at 30°.
So I'm trying to warm things up a bit more.
Thanks for your videos.
I didn't understand how to use manual instead of auto, when I was getting rain-out. Thanks for this tutorial. Hoping for a better sleep tonight with all this new information.
Thanks! The instruction booklet doesn’t say the tube have to be plugged in. You helped a lot.
Thaks very much for this video.. It's chock full of useful info!
Quick question: besides the heated tube, do I need to purchase any other piece to make it work on my AirSense 10, or do all the AirSense 10`s come pre-equipped to provide power to the tube?
I run mine in manual. Tube temp set at 21 degrees & humidity at 4. This setting is perfect for me living in Sydney.
just reporting in, Australian Canberrian Southside, Got a Dream machine 2 replacement done today, I hope this time they did good on their replacement.
Hey mate, are you sure it's a DS2? Is it black? I didn't know they were sending out DS2 here in Australia.
Cheers. Nick
@@CPAPReviews hey no it's the white dream machine not hooked to the system yet lol thanks for checking
Hey!! I wasn't offered a Resmed but was sold a Luna II by 3B medical - I hate it LOL. BUT, I figured I'd let you know I just received an email from Philips saying MY REPLACEMENT IS ON IT'S WAY!! Yeehaw, LOL. I do not know WHAT machine they're sending tho, I just got a fed ex tracking number. I'll update you when I get it. Thanks for all of these videos and staying on top of this. :)
Thanks for the info. I’m debating wether to change to manual settings. Haven’t slept good enough to decide
Thanks for your information! No one follows up on my use. I get calls to refill parts, but no explanation for fine tuning. Do you have a video for dummies setting up Oskar or other programs??
Thanks Nick for the helpful info
You're welcome brother
Thanks for the video. I am not sure why 30/86 degrees is the default. It seems to be pretty high if I compare (wrongly perhaps) to HVAC settings inside a house that is at least 10 degrees lower. Can you explain? Thanks
Thanks a lot man. Just got a heated tube from the VA because I was dealing with rain-out. This helped clarify a lot of the new settings. 👍
The "Tube Temp" option on my AirSense 10 sets digitally, it doesn't look the way it looks in this video, and, it doesn't have an "Auto" setting. Possibly because I don't have the humidifier installed, which is also possibly why I don't see the "Climate Ctrl" option on my display, either. I have my heated tubing set to 82 degrees, and it's very nice. No more ice-cube nose from breathing cold air! My takeaway from this video is that it's best to just use the "Manual" setting, then you can adjust the tube temperature and humidity independently of each other.
Thanks for the advice.
Ive been pushing my temp up trying to allieviate the dryness in my mouth and the need to drink water a number of times thru the night.
Now that i know i can increase the humidity hopefully ill make some progress🙂
awesome thank you, I didn't know that you could automate so much on a cpap!
Great Video! Is the Resmed 11 the same?
Yes, it is!
Hello Nick from the great state of New Jersey. I usually put a glass of water in the fridge to really cool down the water chamber before retiring for the night. I enjoy cool moist air before falling asleep. I have humidity and tube temp on auto right now. Unfortunately, the tube heats up too quickly for my taste. Is there a way of retarding the speed at which the tube heats up? BTW, i have learned more about sleep apnea from you in the few vids that i have watched than what i have known for the last 6 years. Keep up the great work!
HI Mate, thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you can teach an old dog new trick . There's no way to slow the speed mate . All the best brother. Nicko
Hola y no es peligroso para los pulmones usar agua fría alli, ya que nuestro sistema esta diseñado para recibir aire caliente por la nariz 👃
FANTASTIC thank you for this video it's really helped me.
I have learned so much from watching your channel. Thank you!
Thanks, I really needed this right now. Perfect timing for me. Take Care!
Hi, thanks for the content!!! ¿What happens when the Airsense 10 runs out of water? ¿Does it keep warming the water chamber (and therefore warming the air)?
Hi Nick. What is the air and humidity level I would put say in June when I go camping using the pro 360 battery
Hi Katrina, tough question mate. If you're using an AirPro and have the humidity and heated tube on then it's going to drain it pretty fast the higher the heated tube / humid settings. Most people use any battery systems with heated tube and humidity completely switched off so that the battery lasts longer. If you are charging it up each day then it might last 1-2 nights with heat and humidity settings on but i would keep them low as to not draw to much battery power. Best wishes matey. Nick . Have fun away camping
I have a slim line tube, not a climate tube, which settings I’m I able to use for humidity without ruining the tube ?
Thank you, sir. for this video. I've learned so much!
I don't have a heated tube but hit like button just the same. Keep the vids coming! Love them all!
Home too warm for me sometimes in the summer put small ice cubes in water revisor slept ok .
Thank you! Just what I needed. God I love UA-cam. It would take me an hour to get this info on the phone with my gear provider. Probably more, they'd probably make me bring it on, or do a house call and bill me.
Thanks for the video. I struggle with this issue all the time, especially in winter. I am in north Texas and it gets cold sometimes. I am a mouth breather and I routinely wake up very very dry. If I increase the humidity level beyond 5 with a temp of 81 or 82 F , I get a lot of rain out On manual mode. I also have a tube covering that is supposed to help, but it doesn’t seem to do much. Would it benefit me to try the Auto feature instead?
Hi Cheryl, yeah i think it would! Certainly can't hurt trying . All the best mate
Thank you! This clarifies so much things! 🎉🎉🎉
If I were to adjust absolute humidity whilst keeping relative humidity the same, would that affect how much rainout I get?
Hello Nick,
Should I buy Redmed Airstart 10 instead of Resmed Air sense 10?
Can u pls check and tell your view?
Does the ClimateineAir provide any benefits in a hot and humid climate?
Great job Mate ! A very clear and relaxed info video, keep up the great work awesome!
cornerstoneproductio.
I agree. Very relaxed and informative....(not forgetting humorous, you deviot 🤣) I've been waking up regularly throughout the night with an incredibly dry mouth, a coarse dry cough and a very annoying runny nose, which lasts all day.I had blamed my CPAP for that and decided to try having a break from that, then was tired for days.
So, when all else fails...you Tube it, and here I am.I got in and had a fiddle with some of my adjustments. After 2 nights, no more dry throat, cough or runny nose. No tiredness either. Thanks for all the advice.
😮
Good presentation. I learned a lot.
I'm in the middle of watching your video. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I just received the machine today and will be using it tonight. Allow me to throw a "what if" out there, lol. What if you're an over the road truck driver who has to take and use the machine every time bedtime comes. Shutting down to go to bed in a number of different states that are at different climates, and where the temperature can be a difference of 20 degrees fahrenheit +, -. Should I just use auto?
G'day, yes if there's a lot of humidity, temp changes then auto will make life easier. Cheers
* Hello. If people tend to live in arid-type climates (i.e., Southern California) would we need the Resmed Climate Line HEATED TUBING? We live 40 min. inland from the ocean...and it is arid-dry. Hardly any humidity.*
Thank you for the great video.
Wow what a great video. That really helped me. Great explaination.
I purchased the airsense 11 and no matter the temperature I select, the tube doesn't feel warm.
Is this normal?
Ran the machine on 30°C for a few nights and it was still cold.
Resmed looked at the machine and said there was nothing wrong.
Long story short, should the tube feel warm during the night?
I'm onto my fourth climateline tube in seven months!
Cheers,
Andrew
Q. Did you develop your view on how the Climate Control works from trial and error OR has someone at ResMed provided help? I ask because ResMed was very unhelpful when I raised questions. Folks should also be informed that using supplemental O2 affects Climate Control operations as well.
Hi Dan, unfortunately ResMed never provides any help to me an i figure out all this stuff by myself. I have wrote to them many times but if / when i receive a response the answers are normally very vague and uninformative. Thanks for the info on the 02 stuff also
The company my dr want 2 get my ResMet mechine says there is nothing 4 tempture control.
Im on tracheostomy bipap, will this be useful for me?
Great tutorial! Now if I can only keep the mask on for more than 45 mins 😂 Been struggling for the past six months.
I have one of these machines and I live in the USA. Is there any way to have the machine tell you when the water is getting low?
Also I notced something on your machine. You have a pressure relief setting, my machine does not have this setting.
I watch your videos a lot. Thanks for those. I replaced the motor on a ResMed 10 thanks to you. Had a very noisy machine. However now I am getting super back pressure when I wear the mask, to the point where its impossible to release after I inhale. Got any pointers?? thanks
Hya mate, can I still use my hose cover on my heated tube ?
yes you can buddy. Cheers
Thanks 👍
Hello there! I´ve finally got the climateline tube! Yay! I´ve been waiting for months to have it. I am from Argentina and now is more than impossible to get Resmed products thanks to our brilliant goverment. All imports are heavily restricted... yes, even medical devices and stuff alike :/
I love your channel, is helping me a lot!
You failed to say that in winter, in manual mode, high humidity setting with low tube temp setting will pretty much guarantee rainout.
Hi there, i understand however if i went into every possible scenario the video would be 5 hours long. I did mention a few times that colder air can hold less humidity and i've also done many other videos on rainout in the past. All the best. Nicko
I'm thinking about going with the Luna 2. So is Luna 2 a better machine than the ibreeze ?
Should the air coming out of my heated tube, which is set at 30c be warm?.it just constantly feels cold to me
How do I stop all of that air from blowing into my digestive system.
Great video again, I was so confused
I discovered the humidity and tube temperature settings by accident. Living in Houston, Tx area is generally above 50
% humidity year round & A/C tries to DRY it out, playing havock with CPAP/APAP settings. My sister owns the house & given she controls the temperature, plays havock with my comfort & APAP. Love your Videos & try to catch everyone. 🤠
Thanks a lot from all the way up there, New Brunswick Canada. Although my first language is french acadian, i have no probs understanding your accent. Salut.
Could you please tell me if the ibreeze algorithms are any good?
who do i call about may replacement of my phillips recall
Nick mate, you explain very well. But you do not address my apparent problem. That is. I find in the morning that I have droplets of water throughout the length of the tube. Also in the early morning I get loud popping noises from the mask area (small valves flapping in the mask attachment ?) as I breath. Too noisy for my wife (and me) Which makes me to turn off the machine.
My thought is that the outside temperature drops in the early morning and the moisture inside the tube condenses and bungs up the small valves in the upper tube to mask adapter, creating the noise? But I not sure what to adjust to stop my problem.
I have the An ResMed AirSense 10 with heated tube. I am currently on Auto for Humidity and Temperature. I think I can deal with the manual adjustments and fix this by trial and error. Raising the temperature and lowering the humidity? But you may be able to short circuit this process for me.
Can you help?? Thanks
I have solved my problem. Go Manual. Increase Temp of tube and decrease Humidity. Worked.
Thank you for the update. Going to try to increase temp and lower humidity. Hopefully it helps..
With a setting of 8, my unit only gets warm,not hot to the touch. I have nearly a half tank of water left after 6-8 hours. Is the plate faulty? I also wonder if it has the correct fuse? Mine says D98C.
Thank you..superbly explained
The problem I have when I put humidity, my tube comes full of water, how can I do ?
I got all steamed up viewing this.
😂
Sleep Tech here & I actually researched out the “Auto Climate Control” due to patients complaining of issues with dry throat/mouth, sinus issues etc on Auto Climate settings. The information is not readily available! I have even searched ResMed’s site for patients & Providers & I couldn’t find an explanation nearly as good as you have done. I will definitely be sharing this video with colleagues & recommending it to my patients!! Thank you 🙏
I’m 18 days in and I want to give up. I messed with all the settings and can’t get it right. Have 2 good nights. I get water drops in my noise currently. Woke up feeling like I couldn’t breathe. Humidity set at 2. Tube temp 82 degrees
Great video! Thank you so much!

But a/c inside.
Thank you for the info, you’re very entertaining 😊
