If there is an oxygen tank in the home but in a different room would it be safe to run the Defender?

The defender is basically an electric fan with a medical grade filter attached. If you can run an electrical appliance in the room then I would think the Air Defender would be the perfect choice.

I ran mine in the same room with no troubles. Did not realize you should not. :( the defender was given to me. It is amazing.

If you were to operate the defender in another room that is not closer than say a refrigerater, I'm sure you would be fine. The compressor on the fridge is more likely to arc far more that the fan motor on the filter unit.

They do not recommend that you be in the room when it is on, although I have heard some reports of it being ok on low. It is the setting of the ozone that may not be good for them. The machine itself should not be a problem. It is also recommended to be set as high up as possible, so this may help if you are worried they will bother the machine. I can't see them bugging it, because the noise, although fairly quiet, they may not like. Cheers!

Not really although mine runs in the lower level of the house 24/7. I suspect that some folks might be talking about the filtering, there might be a little ozone from time to time omitted. I really love mine, takes all the normally musty smells that happen in basements away and maintains a nicer humidity level than without it running. I've had mine more than a year.

no, i leave mine on all the time, 24/7 , just not on teh oxygen mode (that one can only be done 30 minutes at a time wtih no one in the room per instruction booklet

Yes jus make sure its secure. Also you still must not be near the attic becuz fumes will still seap through. But if you stay in basement or something should be out of arms way

You can keep the oxygen machine hooked up but just make sure that the oxygen machine is off. If the oxygen was on it could dilute the ozone cleaning the cpap machine.

I would be very prudent using this appliance indoors. It does produce monoxides. Propane fuel burns quite cleanly with properly adjusted air/gas mixtures.

I think you are not supposed to use it in an occupied room because people with asthma can have some trouble. We run it on low ozone with no trouble. We used it to get the paint chemicals out of a room and it seemed to work quite nicely.

Yes. All the CO2 and moisture generated by the combustion process go right into the room. However, most homes breathe enough that this is not a problem.

I wouldn't use one inside the unit, as there is little to no airflow inside during the session. What air does escape would go directly to your face and would be highly concentrated with ozone. Also you will sweat a lot and that presents possible damage to the generator itself. I think the Therasage is best used as intended, with nothing inside but yourself, the chair, and a couple of towels!

No. Fire dept says co2 meter in rv will go off if low on oxygen. I Crack vents as in operating manual.

I would not recommend to this heater indoors, because it does not have oxygen depletion sensors/ auto shut off valves.

I would also suggest not to use any propane canister indoors unless specifically designed to do so. IE: propane torch etc. Check with your local building dept. / county seat for local codes concerning indoor tank usage, why risk your life or anyone else's if the potential hazard for explosion is there. Safety first then heat. As suggested by others the potential for venting of the tank is there, I rather have it outside for that.

If your refering to the ozone running-I have run it with ozone on in my attic before-it was closed off and I only ran it for an hour.I would say as long as your basement is closed off-and as long as you don't smell the ozone (fresh rain smell) too strongly,try running it for an hour on ozone,then hold your breath,turn off ozone fan and just run it on reg filtration for another hour or two.Good Luck!(only prolonged breathing in of ozone can be harmful)

Yes, I've used mine several times for emergency heat during power outages(which is why I bought it). I do keep a window opened an inch or two, to replenish the rooms oxygen supply. I also have a 12ft hose, so I'm able to keep the propane tank on the porch, not indoors. The small canisters are handy to have on hand, but only last about an hour.

cannot really answer that honestly as I never used it. When it arrived I read the box and it stated that one should never use near oxygen and since I am COPD I am on the stuff 24/7.

Yes it can but you are limited to what type of fuel can be used safely indoors..Sterno and alcohol fuel come to mind.
