drying out tubing with machine
My machine got pulled accidentally onto the floor and landed upside down (everything works so far so that's a relief ). As a result, I experienced drops and "rain out" in the tube. Is it okay to use the machine on "mask fit" setting to quickly dry the tube out? Or is that excessive wear and tear on the machine? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

RE: drying out tubing with machine
I think I would use a vacuum cleaner. Especially if it has a port for blowing. The velocity is much greater, and the exhaust would be blowing warm air. On the off chance you have a HVLP sprayer, its turbine would be another good choice. I'm a tightwad and don't want to waste the CPAP's blower's hours on anything but therapy.
