Affordable Oxygen Concentrator for EWOT

An oxygen concentrator is an air pump using a technology called Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) to extract and concentrate oxygen from the surrounding air.  The technology dates back to the middle of the last century and is quite common today. The number of manufacturers is not small. Oxygen concentrators are everywhere.

In general, an oxygen concentrator draws in room air (21% oxygen), compresses the air, and filters it through zeolite material (sieve beds) that remove the 78% nitrogen leaving a highly concentrated oxygen of about 90-95% purity.  That oxygen is expelled from the machine at an adjustable rate of 1-10 liters per minute depending on the machine's capabilities. A machine requires almost no maintenance and are generally quite.

A new oxygen concentrator is typically used for delivery of oxygen at home to a person under medical care. But, that is not always the case. An affordable oxygen concentrator can be used for exercise purposes such as EWOT or other purposes such as the making of jewelry.

That question is easily answered with an internet search. In just a few minutes, a person can have multiple online oxygen concentrator sites to choose from. Here are a few: Oxygen Concentrator Store, Direct Home Medical, and Vitality Medical. 

It won't take but a minute to realize that a new oxygen concentrator runs over a thousand dollars. These new machines are designed to operate for tens of thousands of hours and are right off the assembly line. 

BUT YOU DON'T NEED NEW FOR EWOT.     BUY REFURBISHED. 

An inexpensive oxygen concentrator has an enormous usable lifespan. Typically, the internal workings of a machine are of higher quality because they are made for the medical oxygen market. The service life can range from 20,000 to 30,000 hours. Those a big numbers if the machine is only used in an application for a number of hours per day. Each machine has an hours counter so everyone can know its past usage.

An internet search for "refurbished oxygen concentrators" will yield many reputable results such as Oxygen Plus Medical, Bridge To Care USA, Altra Service Professionals, and many more. Buying from reputable companies will provide you with support and take care of any issues.

It doesn't take a minute to realize the cost of an oxygen concentrator is within your budget. Once a machine has been used for more than 300 hours, it can't be considered new and can't be reused in a medical application thus reducing its price considerably. 

For Exercise With Oxygen Therapy usage at home, you need the cheapest oxygen concentrator that provides 1-5 liters per minute. Most machines have wheels which allow easy movement. Good name brands are Invacare, Phillips, Inogen, AirSep, DeVilbiss, and ResMed. But this is not a complete list. Even imported oxygen concentrators can be purchased.

A machine that provides up to 10 liters could be used in a commercial environment like a gym or spa and would be overkill for home use. In addition, portable oxygen concentrators are much more expensive and don't fit the EWOT usage application.

When purchasing a refurbished oxygen concentrator, ask how many hours are on the machine to make sure that you're not getting a machine at the very end of its life.

You'll find that your newly purchased oxygen concentrator won't be running that much. A good EWOT system does not leak and therefore you can set your oxygen concentrator for 1 liter per hour and let it run overnight to fill you EWOT reservoir with enough oxygen for one exercise session.  If you did this three times per week, that would be only about 30 hours per week or about 1600 hours per year.

It is a fact, that a high quality of oxygen (90-95%) is provided from a machine running at the lower liter levels (1 LPM). When higher liters per minute of gas are required, the oxygen concentrator will produce a lower level of oxygen content (50-75%).
