I have two concentrators and both are not working properly. One is a Companion 590 Nellcor Puritan Bennett and has 1450.2 hours on it. The other is a Millennium Respironics and has 16337.9 hours on it. Here are my questions:

Can I replace the sieve beds myself or does it have to be professionally done?

If I can do it myself where would I get the parts and if I can't do it does anyone know of someone in So Cal that fixes them?

One of them shows that it is running at 5 LPM but the yellow light is on saying it is running below normal. The other one won't go above 2 LPM's even though the valve is on full blast. I can still work with the one that is working below normal level but it is taking a bit longer to make beads with it. Thank goodness it isn't making my beads a yucky color either since I have two shows back to back weekends coming up in August.

If anyone can help me I would be ever so grateful. Thanks

If you don't know any of the answers to my questions I would be thrilled if you could send me in the right direction on who to ask? I did do some research on line and got a bit of good information but not enough. Thanks.

Maybe Kimberly (kbinkster) knows? She owns Pyronamix and deals with a lot of concentrator stuff. Good luck!
