Cleaning oxygen concentrators

[wendbill]

So while I was interstate working on an audit, pretending I was interested in my career, my husband was building built in wardrobes in the kids bedrooms.

Unfortunately his workshop is also my glass studio :roll:. So, having created a dust storm beyond both our wildest imaginings and having dust settle literally everywhere....

(yes covering it BEFORE YOU started WOULD have been a great idea JON),

I'm skeered to turn my oxygen concentrater on before I have made sure I'm not going to suck goodness knows what into the damn thing. It's a 5LPM Airsep Elite. Any advice beyond vacuuming, wiping down and washing the outside filter at the back?

No special ideas, just do it. If it is just saw dust you might be able to vacuum the filter without needing to flush it with water. All that surface dust comes up pretty easy. It's a shame you will need to vacuum the entire area before you start. He probably got you glass, torch, and tools too.

I think that should do it, Wendy.:)

[wendbill]

thank you ladies.

There's a thick layer of dust on everything else as well (bar the torch which he had thrown a sheet over). At least I don't have worry about moving parts on the tools or glass - though I'm not looking forward to the length of time the clean up will take.

You might want to wipe everything down with a damp cloth too to get the realfine dust particles, too.

It was scary how much dust managed to get everywhere.
