As an aside, make sure that the pump you get is compatible with oxygen
processes, which means it uses synthetic oil (or a dry pump). I had a
bad experience with a vendor who insisted on selling me a system with
a pump that had regular hydrocarbon oil, despite the advice of several
pump companies that I consulted who all told me the same thing: it
will blow up!
