I get my oxygen from the welding shop. Theres a lease on the bottles. They comein Large, medium, and small. Theres a lease on the bottles. My medium tank weighs about 70 pounds, holds a couple thousand pounds of pressure (full) and lasts me about 8 weeks during my high HA period. The small bottle stays in the truck. Ive been told by the maintance guys at a local hospital, that the oxygen from the welding shop is the same stuff that goes into the medical oxygen bottles. Ever seen the big green bottles in the basement of the hospital? Those are the same tanks ya see in the welding shop. My medium tank cost about 12 dollars to fill.
