Preset 50 PSI EMS Regulator FAQs

How long will my cylinder last?

Please go to O2 To Go Cylinder Duration Calculator.

What’s the difference between a regulator and a conserver?

Oxygen regulators deliver oxygen on continuous flow only.
Oxygen conservers deliver oxygen on inhalation only and do not provide oxygen during exhalation, thus allowing the cylinder contents to last 3 to 5 times longer than a regulator.
