Default Condensation problem with circuit

Hello,

My kiddo is vented 24/7 right now and we have problems with condensation in the circuit. We changed out the circuit on Sunday and have had wonderful nights with no alarms until last night when the water had built up. I have read on the board before about 'sleeves' that go over the circuit to prevent this but I don't know what to look for via the internet in my searches for these---does anyone know what they are called? Any tips would be most appreciated if anyone has suggestions for us to try. We've upped the heat in the house and that did stop the vent from alarming disc/sense due to water getting in the sense lines, but really we are back to the same issues.

Thank you!
