Oxygen concentrator users help

Post by Stormynights » Thu Jan 02, 2014 1:37 pm

I got a water bottle for my concentrator and I am so happy with it but the short tube that goes from the bottle to the machine gets a crimp right above the bottle. Does anyone know how to fix this? I was thinking about maybe trying to get a spring from the hardware store but I thought maybe someone had a better idea.

I don't use the bottle never have, if you are only using it with your xpap, the hh would probably be enough, I don't use my hh with water. My compressor has a 3 or 4 foot hose to hook mine up, so a longer hose would fix the problems, as long as you don't exceed 50 feet its ok. Jim

I use oxygen during the day now too. It was really drying me out without a water bottle.

If you really need it, I would ask my supplier for a 3 ft hose or close. if that's not a option the spring may work or maybe mount the container different, velcro comes to mind.

P.S. My Xmas O2 change out failed, they gave me another bigger O2 unit, it's working fine. So we are now working on number 3. Jim

I feel like I have been set free. I can go outside anytime I want to and road trips are easy now. I am thrilled. I am on a 25 ft leash inside. I just have to remember not to go in circles.

Hope your tie up chain is close to your dog house, in this weather it's nice to be able to get out of the wind. Jim
