Post Heated CPAP Tube 
I have the heated CPAP tube which seems to have eliminated the rain-out from my mask. (Thanks to you guys) It came equipted with it's own cover which doesn't look like it can be removed. I received instructions to rinse the tubing out without getting the outside wet. Anyone out there using the heated tube with any good methods for cleaning the tube? If so, how often do you clean it, and how do you insure nothing is growing in there?   Very Happy

germs tend to grow in moisture, keeping the tube dry should help minimize this.  I would recommend after turning off the heated humidifier each morning, let the pap continue to run for a few minutes to totally dry the tube and mask.
