I recently developed pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs, multiple ones unfortunately) and I'm on O2. They won't release you from the hospital until you're under 5mlpm, most of the oxygen generators and tanks will only provide with a maximum 5 ml per minute. They provided an adapter that pl...

I was out overnight in my truck last night and had old faithful, my Respironics Remstar Pro with HH, and powered it with my Cobra 800 watt inverter as I usually do. I also use a Remstar Auto with a F&P 100 humidifier at home on my alternative power house which is powered by a large inverter. I do no...

For the Remsatar Auto the humidifier has to be restarted each time you turn the machine off, it doesn't function independently. So after you restart, hit the heat button and fire it back up, when the little green light comes back on, ya good to go........

Lepeu63, sleep apnea isn't a death sentence, not treating it could be, it has become just another hobby that I partake in. I have been able to stay awake and live again! It's just something else that I do in my life, I have no hangups about it, an attitude that everybody should have. So if ya see a ...

I went to a Fisher & Paykel HC100 myself due to the fact that the Remstar unit didn't provide sufficient heat for me. Also the tank is a bit larger and I don't run out of water. So now I have better control on my stuffiness, not enough humidity and this thing on the end of my face slams shut. Plus i...

I'm not familiar with the S8, the Remstars run on 12volt dc, it's just that the humidifiers require 120volt ac. So if you can get by without humidification a battery should run the machine for many days at 12volts.

Fortunately we have been getting only rain for the most part. There was a little ice on everything this morning, maybe about 1/8 inch on everything but the rain has run that off. Nuthin but a big puddle on the ground. Currently running 32 degrees and rain but it may move in latter. So far at over 4 ...

Last time the ice knocked all the power out we sat here on the ridge not knowing that nobody had any power until we watched the news, one of the advantages of living on alternative power! Got the generator running to make sure that the batteries are full, we shall survive! Have fun, Charlie
