Default Unlimited oxygen m15 not working properly help??

I'd appreciate any help. My studio was hit by a tornado recently and most everything was soaked and/or wiped out. My OxyCon actually turns on and sounds fine but I'm not getting any pressure. Stays at zero. Any suggestions on what I might be able to do knowing that it had water running in it? I know it's likely a lost cause but I'm hoping someone might have some sort of suggestion as I can't afford a new one having to replace so much else. Thx all!!

You may have a disconnected tube inside, ablocked vent, or clogged filter.
Some parts are easily acces and checked others not so much.

If it is not giving alarms then it may be a tube that got popped of a fitting.

It would not hurt to take the cover off and look around.

my M15's do not alarm, btw. I think that was disabled when they were reconditioned for non-medical use.

I had pretty good luck finding a place here that works on them. I had them do a tune-up on a couple of 5lpm machines and it was less than $100 total. Some states won't even look at you without an Rx but not here. So far anyway.

I found them but I'm not at all sure they're still in business so I'd definitely call first to see.

Thanks for the heads up on the alarms Kathy.

That is not something I would have expected.
