Dive Bottle Test - Short & Curly's?

[krisko]

Did you overtighten the fillstation? Or tried to screw it in under the wrong angle damaging the treads? I am of the opinion that who broke it should fix it. Is it the same shop where you get your fills?

Ask Faber if it is common to fail the first test lol


I had similar but different. Pre test and valve service, the valve was not leaking but out of test -expired diving bottle (no surface valve)

post service and passed hydro test etc: Slow leaking leaking bottle unable to fully shut the valve. Not impressed. Probably they swapped the valve to a leaky one, now I have to crank up the valve real tight for it to seal. madness.
you should buddy up with few more and get a loan large N2 cylinder and share it, do your fills yourself! Screw them
This way the cylinder will not be your responsibility.
