Appreciate the offer on the service manual. A copy would be most appreciated if available. Seems that AirSep keeps their service manuals restricted. The one that comes with the machine is most likely the patient manual, which is very restrictive as to any internal service data and internal adjustments.
Using a Cricket which is designed for low oxygen use. One 5 LPM machine will work, but with two it is better. May add the AirSep to the line for three 5 LMP machines. The only issue is that all should have their output PSIs in the same range. i.e. do not connect up one 5 psi machine with one 9 psi machine, etc.
Have not used the minor so have no first hand experience. However, it would be my guess that the minor will NOT work well with one 5 LPM machine. You can check some of the threads in the forum for additional information.
Bottled is preferred by many. It is easy to use, with the exception of the heavy bottles. You can also run the torch on higher pressures if the torch is so designed. And there are very few parts to wear out. Plus the oxygen percent is higher than an oxygen generator. The reason here to use a concentrator, is that the cost to fill a 250 cu ft bottle is $60. In some parts of California, that cost is in the $19 range. Thus the need to use an alternative method here in the north.
