Default Oxygen Concentrator Help

I have started production work (a little behind schedule) for Bead & Button. I'm having an issue with my OxyCon "breathing" and creating too much of a reducing flame. I found the root cause in this thread about the sieve beds needing to be rebuilt. I found a place in Ocala (two hours from me) that can rebuild in a week.

Are there alternative options for me? Do I need an OxyCon that works at 10 psi? They do have some for sale that are 5-7 psi. Is this enough for me to work? I've already been working in a very small flame to get as much oxygen as possible. (The candles of the flame are half a rod wide, about 1/8").

I'm having fun figuring out the issues, learning about the setup, but at the same time I'm panicking because B&B is in a month! And I don't want to have bad quality beads.

This forum is an amazing wealth of resources, so thank you all for your input over the years. And thank you in advance for any suggestions and ideas.
