Should I get a 5 liter or a 10 liter home concentrator?

Always start with your prescription -

If you are prescribed 2 LPM, getting a 10 LPM concentrator may not be necessary and would be a greater expense.  
If you need 6 LPM or more, then you definitely need the more potent 10 LPM concentrator.

If you need 4 or 5 LPM consider the following:

- Speak with your doctor about your disease state. Is it something that will get progressively worse sooner than later? If yes, then maybe a 10 LPM concentrator is right for you

- Do you occasionally use more oxygen when you’re sick? if so, make sure you know your concentrator is capable of any settings your doctor prescribes for you.

- Will you have to be increased to more than 5 LPM occasionally? Then a 10 LPM concentrator is right for you.

- If you buy a 5 LPM concentrator and now get bumped up to 6 LPM, what can i do? It’s possible to link two 5 LPM concentrators via a Y-Connector (sku# SH749).

You can also compare prices, weight, wattage and altitude capabilities.
