I am working on getting the parts together. The cheapest I can go is $800 with a whip. (no concentrator) IF someone wants to build there own whip it will be less. PM me with your phone number. I will call you to confirm you want one. I am only getting a hand full of these and some are already gone.
Anyone want one of these? I have 3 left.
What are the specs on it? And got some pics?
Ohhh I wants, was trying to save up to buy one off Drew for months...if only my tax refund could come any sooner. I have a feeling quite a few people are in the same boat I'm in, I'd be surprised if your demand for these doesn't shoot up in a month or two..
E-file once your paperwork comes in I will have mine by Feb 14th. Your prob right on about this.
are they new? and can you post pix?
They are used unit but all under 600 hours. I built the whips out of western enterprise parts. I get a good discount from my welding supply house and the whips cost me 108 and change to build. I also use the quick connector from the bottle. Here is a picture of me testing a unit today. Not the best pictures but you get the idea.[ATTACH]Attachment 35933[/ATTACH]
Price includes paypal fees, whip and shipping.

How long does it take to fill a cylinder? What size concentrator does it use?
Pm me I'm interested
HomeFill are invacare products, so to make this as easier as possible I use a Platium XL and Perfecto II. They have a connector in the back that hooks directly up to the homefill. I will include the cord.
They are 5lpm units. Some people use concentrators with higher psi to decrease fill times. My system will fill a k tank in 24-30 hours. I am happy with that. More pic to come.
I am interested. Can these be easily used with an airsep oxycon? What extra parts would I need. Thanks
You wont need any extra parts. You would simply need to cut the homefill cord that snaps into the invacare units and put it on the regular oxygen out. I am not really sure if the airsept will fill correctly what are the spec on it?
Anyone you an airsept for this before?
How are you getting the 24-30 hour k tank fills? If you are getting fills this fast can you let us know how you get these rates, I am sure a lot of people would appreciate it.Quote:

I am pretty sure this is the airsep I have. It has the specs. on the page.
Will this work with the homefill?
tat2shawn i'm using that same concentrator with my homefill. works fine. just needed a threaded-barbed fitting to attach to the homefill.
Let me do double check on my fill rates. I am using all stock invacare products.
Guys, I certainly don't claim to be an expert on these. There are certainly more experienced and knowledgeable people out there. I do test all my units and use the best parts I can find.
Drew thanks again for all the info in getting my unit setup. This thing as really made a huge difference for me!!
Here is a pic of the units I have right now.

I received my Homefill in excellent condition and I just wanted to thank boston for a hassle free transaction and help getting it set up, thanks again boston.
Good Luck. Hope it helps you as much as it helps me. Let me know if you need anything. Thank You.
Hello!
Do you have any more of these home fills with whips available? I will buy one now if you do still have any. I've been out of the glass scene for about 8 years but some of you may remember my name from back in the day, I taught and worked with a lot of the still active/famous/best lamp workers of boor out there.
My name is Ezra and I used to sign all my pieces with a little milli that said "ez" in it ;) Some of you will know who I am.
Well I finally built a new glassblowing srtudio in my home and will be blowing again for fun. I need a home fill so please let me know if you still have any available. My email is ezmobius@gmail.com if you don't hear from me on this forum as I don't visit here very often(yet). I would really love one of these home fills and I may even consider partial trade for a custom blown piece of mine if that interests you at all. But all cash is fine as well.
Please let me know ASAP if you have any left and how hard and how much it will cost to ship to Portland OR.
Thanks
Ezra
Yeah I don't have many left. But if you want I can send you a PayPal invoice to your email ? Or do you have a different way you would like to pay ? I would be interested in seeing some of your work but I have a lot of money invested and kinda need some cash back. Thanks for the interest.
Oh sorry shipping to 48 states is already included also Paypal fees are included. Also I am filling my own tank with a your unit right now.... You know just to test it.... Not cause I need the free oxygen.
This might be very ignorant on my part, but I just don't know. What is the "whip" and what is it used for?? Then, are you able to tell me what parts you need to make one??
I have an old oxy con I'd like use but lack the knowledge to use it. I've seen other posts on these set ups and understand only part of the process and definetly don't know what parts I need. I have been using tanked oxy and would love to change over but can't because of the cash. Anyway to use it by just making the whip, or not??
Thanks
Drew are you at high altitude? I get fill rates at about 24 hours.
I would llike one.
Ok then.................
A homefill unit is a compressor made to fill small medical tanks using a medical oxygen concentrator.
Very smart people in this forum figured out how to adapt these units to fill large tanks like K tanks or T tanks.
I sell the homefill compressor and special whip or connector to make it possible to fill big tanks.
You need an oxygen concentrator to make the homefill work. There are some pictures in this thread.
I hope that helps. This unit saves both time and money.
I am getting some more units end of this week. I have one that isnt locked up. Hopefully I am able to get more.
I am getting one of boston's homefills. Cant wait to get it and start recouping some of my money..LOL
I will report back here with some feedback after I get it and have it running.
Thanks boston.
Received mine. Thanks Boston, smooth transaction.
Scott
PM'ed you. hope to talk soon.
Kevin
I got two more units yesterday. They will be ready to ship early next week. After that I am not sure when I will have more. I am certainly working on it.
I will be testing power consumption with a new tool I got from Belkin. Post to follow.
just got mine set up last night around 8:30. checked it at 7:30am and ive got around 800# in my k. Thanks boston.
Huh really? I get 1100-1200 in 24 hours. Brand new units. And I'm at sea level.
Thank you!! Glad you are filling tanks.

There has been quiet a few posts on how much power a homefill uses. I did a bit of my own research today. I filled a small medical bottle rather than my tank. This is a power meter that tells you watts and monthly cost being on all the time in this case. The homefill if powered on for 30 days straight would use $44 dollars in power @ my kwh price plus transmission charge. .1433 cent per kilowatt hour. I run mine about 210 hours per month. It cost about .06 per hour. 44 divide by 720(hours in 30days.) I get $12.44 per month in power. My electric bill for my shop is about 15-20 per month. So that is about accurate. You can also see the picture of how many watts this thing uses.
I will leave this on for the next month or so to get a more solid average. Post back Great device for finding out what is cranking your power bill.
