Oxygen- EasyPulse 5 conserving regulator?
Peter wrote:
The Mountain High regulator is worse than the Nelson one? Precisely. That's suprising since it's electronic. Maybe a little, but not if you actually look at the specs (neither company seems to inflate their own specs, but Montain High's sales pitch to me at Oshkosh seemed to consist of 90% untruths about the Nelson unit). |

... Any comments/corrections much appreciated. Just a bit of trivia... A 2-liter plastic soda bottle is supposedly rated for around 200 psi... If you filled it with O2 and put a valve on it that would feed into your regulator, you would have a very lightweight O2 supply for about 13 minutes... I've never filled them to that pressure though... I routinely fill them to 75 psi when I'm carbonating a beverage... I also tried oxygenating beverages at one time, but the taste was too light... |

Well, if you ask a U.S. pilot shop what they think of Nelson (a.k.a. Precise Flow) they say the stuff doesn't work at all. This is because Nelson took their sales in-house so the retailers can't make the margin on them anymore. These weren't pilot shops. This was talking to the companies directly at their respective booths in Oshkosh year before last. I've never seen a pilot shop (at least not around here) selling oxygen setups at all. It's way too much of a niche market. You're lucky to find headphones, etc.. at most shops here (most rarely carry more than sectionals). |

I have bought most of my pilot accessories from local shops, including my headsets, handheld radio, and yes...my portable oxygen system. The shop currently closest to my hangar also sells things like grease, engine oil, hydraulic fluid, tires, and a variety of other owner accessories. Granted, they are part of the FBO there, so those sorts of maintenance items are stuff they have to stock anyway. But I'm surprised to hear your local pilot shops are so limited. Pete |

Oxygen- EasyPulse 5 conserving regulator?
Aviation Consumer tested both units in June 2006. They liked both units
alot and raved about them. They preferred the Precise Flow for a single user unit, due to its lower cost and more simple installation. For 2 users, you need another unit for the Precise Flow, so its lower cost is negated, and the Mountain high hooks up for 2 users more easily, so they preferred it for a 2 place installation.
