TUBING
It is normal if moisture or condensation
appears in your tubing during a treatment. This
can be a natural effect of your environment’s
temperature. If this happens, finish your
treatment and then disconnect the tubing from
the nebulizer. Leave the other end attached to
the compressor air outlet and let run for a few
minutes. The warm air from the compressor
will dry the inside of the tubing. Use a damp
cloth to wipe the exterior of the tubing.
