Sometimes One Is Never Careful Enough

Last year I posted about the toy my family has acquired. Well, we’ve got an upgrade that looks like this.

It is an oxygen concentrator that double the capacity of the last one.

All went well for about a week and then nightmare started as the machine malfunctioned in the middle of the night. This damn thing started to beep and stalled. Eventually not working. Luckily we have quite a number of oxygen tanks to take its place.

Everything sorted out and no one was hurt but I learned a lesson – sometimes we are never careful enough.

If I pay more attention to the service manual I would know that this beast actually need the same amount of electricity like a full size air conditioner. That means I need a dedicated power line for this to function properly.

Just because it is not my domain of expertise I did not do my best to map out the scenarios.

Now that I have learned my lesson, we have this huge oxygen tank installed in case of power outage.

I should go get a drink. Later.
