Thanks very helpful. All this is new to me. I am now taking care of my 94 year old mom who is dependent on this type of system.

One big thing that I ran into, with humidifier bottles, If you are using a 20 foot or 50 foot connector, then you MUST put this water bottle on the cannula end of that connector. If you don’t, the water gets on the interior walls of the connector and NOT in the air at the cannula

A more effective reset of your machine will require turning it off ( no need to unplug ) then pressing the reset button ( what this lady calls an alarm button ) and turn on the machine holding down both at the same time until the beep. It is my job to troubleshoot Oxygen equipment, so do this many many times a day.

Idk if this is still you Miss Girl, I am having a problem getting my mother's inva care to fill a bottle. I've been watching all the videos I can find & I've tried what I could. In case you can help, let me explain symptoms as best I can. There are no alarms except the normal beep when turning on bottom. I let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Everything seems normall.. I plug the bottle in then turn top Machine on. It stays on the yellow "low air " for quite a while, maybe another 5- 10 minutes when it switches to "fill" & the green light comes on. The green light only stays on for 10 seconds or so before switching back to the yellow light. It stays there got 2'-5 minutes (it. Varies) them green light for 10seconds then repeat. I know thus isn't tight so I normally turn it off before it cycles much. I've cleaned top & bottom filters making sure they were dry. Level is on 2. Oh , it does do the bottle bounce when I unhook bottle indicating built up pressure? Hoses seem to be connected proper but idk. should the bottom outlet have o2 coming out when trying to fill the bottle? Any advice or suggestions will be much apriciated Thanks! J. Cyclops

@@jupitercyclops6521 Yes, that sounds like pressure build up in your homefill system. Turn the homefill off. Pull down the ring, like if you are taking the canister off, but leave it there. Turn the machine back on and let the canister bounce until it stops bouncing. That will be the best way to show the pressure is released. Turn the machine off, snap the ring back into place and turn the machine back on. That should solve the problem.

Hoping someone has an answer to this - new to oxygen therapy. Received today concentrator machine (Perfect 02 V). This is continuous flow and everything seems to be running fine - green light on, a little loud but can live with that, little ball is on 2 where it should be, plenty of circulation - at least a foot all around from furniture, walls; no crimped tubing (don't have a humidifier) and filter is clean. Question is, there's a loud "puffing" sound or like a pulse sound every 6 seconds. Sounds like something's going to blow up. Is this normal? Thanks for any advice / response.

the first two times I changed the water I tested it by holding my finger over the outlet nipple on the jar while it was running and it worked fine the release valve went off but now when I test it the oxygen output goes from 3.5 to 0 and if I hold it the alarm will go off. I have checked all connections and made sure the lid wasn't crossed. what else can i do. if I put the nose nebula in water and it bubbles is it working even though the bottle didn't go off?

Hey videoman you seem to know what you are doing. I have a question you might help with? I want to disable the notification alarm, that annoying 3 second beep every time you turn it on! I'm suprised that I can't find info on this. Am I the only person with this complaint or is it possible that I have a very loud alert alarm? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
