Re: Questions regarding Ozone!
Gee, we're getting to be buddies.
-1) How are units that are Oxygen-fed with a tank refilled? Does it cost money? Is it easy to refill? If I get a generator, I figure I may as well spend some extra and get a really good one.-
Generally you purchase your own tank and have it refilled by an oxygen company or rent or lease a tank from an oxygen supplier. You would purchase your own pediatric regulator to regulate the supply of oxygen from the tank to the ozonator, and when the tank is empty, you exchange the tank with the company you rented it from for the cost of the contents. I don't know about the US, but in Canada, a really large cylinder leases yearly for $60 and the contents is about $46 each fill or replacement. A prescription is usually needed to acquire a medical grade tank, but welder's oxygen is just as good for almost all applications. You don't need a prescription for welder's oxygen. Just a good story. In many locations your owned tank cannot be filled locally, and the cost of having it shipped to where it can be filled is prohibitive and time consuming, leaving you without oxygen for the time that is required to have it shipped, filled and returned. I feel it's better to lease. Most oxygen companies even deliver the tanks for exchange.
Pediatric regulators can be bought on amazon.com or from Affordable Medical. Usually about $70 plus shipping. They also supply tanks if you want to buy your own. You would have to do your own Due Diligence on local supply for oxygen/tank refills.

A welder's oxygen tank (srew mount) requires a regulator with a CGA 540 fitting
Most medical tanks (square top) require a CGA 840 regulator fitting.
Good questions!
hope this all helps
