I'm also interested to know what if any type of maintenance you need to do and costs associated with operating your own unit at home.

Many thanks

Hi, How are you? I hope you are doing well today.

My chamber is a Reneau. They built 20 chamber I have the number 15. My chamber came form a burn unit at a hospital. It is able to go to 6 ata. My hyperbaric treatments usually start at 1.8 ata and end up between 2.00 ata-2.4 ata. If I do a 40 treatment dive, at 2.4 ata (atmospheres absolute), I get my best results. If I only dive a Duers of oxygen about $250.00 (cost), I need to do some more maintenence dives between treatment. When you buy a duers of oxygen, it will burp into the atmosphere at about 1% per day. So to be cost effective you would do at least the 18 dives, to complete the tank. The amount of dives that you get out of a duers, also depends on the depth but 18 is about average. I bought mine from a manufacturer who also remanufactures or updates chambers. The windows and door on these chambers have to be certified and must be replace after so many dives and they are expensive to replace. I have been asked about the cost of my chamber before on the forum. I do feel uncomfortable about sharing that information with just anyone, although I really would share it with anyone that was really interested in purchasing one, or who had CRPS. So, I'll pm that information to you, or anyone who would like to know. Also, where I got my chamber.
Here is a picture of my chamber. My home has a chamber room, that is specifically designed, no carpet, ventilated, exhaust system, and alternate lighting source in case of power failure. This chamber can also be operated manually.
I hope this helps. I'll pm. If you or anyone has any more questions please feel free to ask or pm. Hugs Di
