Title: M tanks not large enough....
Post by Samiam on Mar 13^th, 2007, 1:33pm

On Sat I had two M tanks delivered and I have already gone though one of them so I called yesterday to have 3 more sent. When the driver came he pulled up and in his hand he had 3 A tanks! I almost had heart failure.

Thank God he was compassionate and called the office and told them that there was no way that this would work for anything. I now have 2 electric machines that can deliver 15 LPM and I don't have to worry about running out. He also left me with 3 E tanks for when we want to go out and for the just in case. I feel so much better now not having to worry about running out of O2 and calling to get more. He also left the other M tank for a back up just in case. He told me that he is in the neighborhood almost everyday and if I need more E tanks he will just drop them off to me not to worry.

I also added in Melatonin last night 6 mgs along with the Klonopin .05mgs that I have been taking. So far I'm doing OK. I did use the O2 today but I can deal with that.

Not sure what you're saying about the M tanks not being large enough. M tanks are not considered to be "portable." An M tank flowing at 15 lpm will last over 3 hours, whereas an E tank at the same rate will only last a little over half an hour.

I'm confused.

Hey right about now I can confuse anyone. Your right M tanks will give me three hours but I only had 2 tanks and they need 2 days noticed in order to deliver more that means they would be here all the time.

I now have 2 electric tanks that will give me 15 LPM air flow and I don't have to worry about calling and wondering when they will get there or when they will run out. They are working good so far. Has anyone here used them?

I have an A tank to put in the truck when we want to go out and two refills.
