Trouble with concentrator

Good morning. Hope everyone keeping warm. Well got to ask does anyone have trouble with concentrator or is it just us. Every few months we either have a red alarm or as last night was amber lighting . The oxygen company are great. Out with in an hour. Changed again . My husband has two joined together now as the engineer did not have the larger one. He has 3lt at night but can turn it up to use on 7 when exercising. The liquid oxygen he has for going out kept venting out. When we phone up the oxygen company must think not them again. Just wondering if it is us or this sometimes happens.

Hi, sorry I haven't experienced that, but it does remind me of an experience when I used to do weekly wages calculations for a workforce of about 100 paid in cash. Each week we would always get the wages wrong for one chap. He was very nice about it, but each week he would come back and point out our latest error. Each week we tried desperately hard to get his wages correct, but failed. Somehow it was like trying to hide a balloon in your fist - when you pushed it back in one place it would pop out at another.

Hi, I think he needs re-assessing for the Ltrs. I have a Concentrator, 4 years and Mobile Imogen 1, never have any problems, but I am not as High in Ltrs as your Husband. Best to talk to the person who Prescribed the 02. (Mine was Consultant & Respiratory Nurse). Good Luck Hun. xxx
