Questions & Answers
The tube is threaded on both ends, and the covers twist off. They're a godsend because condensation forms in the tubing if you don't use them and have a humidifier bottle of water connected to the oxygen feed. Before the force of the flowing oxygen pushes the condensation through the tubing and into one's nostrils, it is caught in this trap. If the captured water gets close to the openings that look centered inside the tube from each cap in the photo, the trap should be emptied daily, possibly twice a day. Water will gradually accumulate in the tubing that connects the concentrator and the trap. I put on my portable oxygen, remove the trap, drape the tubing over the bathroom faucet with the open end pointing down, secure it with tape, and turn the concentrator up to 6, which forces moisture buildup in the tubing to be forced out gradually. After that, I reattach the trap to the tubing, reset the concentrator to the prescribed liter level, and I'm good to go for another day or two before I have to do it again.
I'll keep using mine until it breaks down and starts leaking.

It was so easy to put it on where the oxygen line (usually green) meets the cannula (usually clear) that I couldn't wait for it to arrive. Simply take the coupling item out of the equation. This should be used instead. Now that it's in place, let's look at what we can do with it. There are two things I'd like to mention about using it. 1) It makes a lot of noise when it bangs into things. I found it so useful to cut two pieces of gorilla mounting tape to fit the outer rims of the two end caps while working across tile flooring. Simply stick a piece to each flat edge of both end caps after removing the plastic from only one side of it. It acts as a sound dampener in the same way that a cushion would. It glides around easily because the plastic is still on the outside. 2)I noticed that the amount of water in the line had decreased dramatically. However, there was still a small build-up of water drops in the clear cannula line, which surprised me! I had hoped that this would completely prevent it, but it isn't nearly as bad as it was. I'm glad I bought it in the end!.
For my oxygen concentrator, I'm looking for a way to keep it dry. Condensation forms in the O-ring. All night long, you'll hear two lines and bubbles in your ear. I tried a few different suppliers for this type of product before deciding to go with Amazon (you know they have everything - right?). Almost entirely). I was able to find exactly what I needed.
Water from the hydrator bottle on my oxygen bottle does not go up my nose as much as it used to. The water collects in the reservoir tube, which you only need to empty every now and then. This would work well with sleep apnea machines as well. My husband was constantly awoken by water running down his nose, so he stopped using it. I'll definitely put one of these in if I can persuade him to get another sleep apnea machine. I would strongly suggest it.
So far, there hasn't been any water in the nasal passage.
This product removed the condensation from my tubing; it's a fantastic product that I would recommend to anyone.
I needed to get a new one because I was out of one. There was nothing I didn't like about it. This is a fantastic substitute.
Item arrived in good condition and was delivered quickly.
