Re: MB and all who are on O2

[Guest guest]

I put the website on my favorites. We can look at them when he comes in. He is still mowing and somehow I think he is going to finish. I usually takes him 3 hours to mow everything around here. He just flies on that thing. Are you on liquid O2? I have been wondering if people are on liquid or compressed. He is thinking he wants liquid. Are there pro's and cons?

I can't remember what liter flow Don is on bat at 5 liters conserving the tank will last me 3 or 4 hours, on continuous it will last about an hour. I think mowing would be a great thing for him to be able to do. He might find he needs a mask if the dust stirred up bothers him but maybe it won't. It's so smart to find things he can do to help keep the focus off what he can't do. This is where I got my backpack. http://www.tri-medinc.com/TM/page10.html Hope that helps!

,

I've been using a concentrator at home and compressed gas tanks when going out pretty much since I've been on O2. I experimented a bit with liquid for a couple of months but ended up switching back. Honestly I think it's more about what you get used to than anything else. Everyone has there preference and there's no right or wrong answer.

The liquid portables are considerably lighter and do last longer so when someone is at a higher flow liquid can be much easier to manage.

I didn't like refilling the liquid portable. They have a tendency to freeze up at times and it's a pain in the neck if you're trying to get ready to go out and you have to wait around for the silly thing to thaw.

But like I said, it's what works for each person. No right or wrong answer for this one!!
