    Ventilator hose warmers

    Yes you read that right. I have just bought myself a funky warmer for my ventilator tubing/hose. It has a few uses: stops noise irritation when plastic tubing scrapes against surfaces. Stops condensation and moisture build up, makes airflow quieter and no more cold tubing annoying me in the mornings.

    I got mine on eBay, there a few sellers on there as well as other sites so best bet is to do a Google.

    Thought might be of interest to some.

    These sound a really good idea!

    Put my order in today.

    Hopefully will reduce the noise of the machine and the little
    boiler on the humidifier. Also has to be better than the horrible
    plastic hose scraping on wooden furniture and metal grab rails.

    Thanks for the great type.

    The company we bought from does not seem to be on eBay anymore
    but these are virtually identical:-

    They do seem to make a difference.
