HYDRO TEST CO2 BOTTLES

Post by Maltose Parrot »

Has anyone had their tanks tested recently? I got a quote of $25 for an 8lb tank. Is that the going rate?

I think my local girl was doing $20 for hydro (didn't matter tank size). I was looking for my last text with her to verify and I couldn't find it.

+1 for Spectrum Gas. They’ve replaced valves for me too. Good people.

If you are exchanging cylinders some places will not charge you for hydro testing. However, you need to only use them. Also, if you have a very nice tank exchanged tanks tend to look very well used....
