They are proprietary. When I get a chance I’ll snap a few pics and post them.

Here is the whip I now use. I also use compressed air gun and vacuum pick-up with it.

WTB Tank Whip (For Cleaning)

I have made a whip a little bit ago. Similar to the happydiver pic. I did some lighting projects a while back and ended up with 500' of 1/16" stainless braided cable. If you would like to try it, I would gladly send you some to do this. Hell, I would even cut it into any length you want.

Last time I hydro’d tanks was 25 no vis, no fill, at a local shop that specializes in airplanes.

Why? They do a VIP before they hydro. If they think a tank is bad they won't even test it.

The VIP is a scuba tax. It's a way for a shop to make money... that's it.

Back when VIPs started, one did not need a sticker for the first year after hydro, because the hydro shop had already done a real viz at hydro. The money grab followed.

Funny and sad all at the same time.

It's really funny because when I 1st started diving and got my tanks filled at the FD the guy looked at me like I had 3 heads when I mentioned all my tanks were current with both VIP and hydro. I had to explain to the captain of the FD what a VIP was. After I was done he said "we don't care about that silly sh!t, just the hydro", lol.. then he pumped my 3500's to 4k while I winced thinking we were all gonna die not knowing any better... he said "they'll cool off, you'll thank me later".. he was right!
