STORING A LIQUID OXYGEN RESERVOIR

Morning - I use liquid oxygen which I fill from a reservoir I store in my bedroom - I also run around the house with it attached to a 50 ft hose. Right now I keep it in my bedroom - but we are selling our house and it looks awful sitting in the bedroom. Can anyone suggest what I can do with it so the the house showings are better.

I wouldn't worry about it Roepete!
People aren't going to buy or not buy your house because you have to use oxygen! I keep mine in the dining room! And wouldn't want to have to move it anyway! They weigh around 90-100 pounds!

Have you ever seen those covers that some people had for their vacuums or on a smaller version for the toasters? I knew a lady who had a cloth cover made to put over her o2 tank that blended into her decor and you would have never guessed what was under it. Have a good day. vickie

Can you put it in the garage? My hose will fit under the door without being pinched. Or roll it into the bedroom closet during showings? Can your supplier give you two smaller ones so one could be kept in the garage and one in your bedroom, just until you sell your house? Could you get one of those decorative screens to hide it?
