SO I live in a area where the local shops do some pretty odd stuff -- (nitrox bumper sitckers, etc). I take my tank in for hydro knowing I can get it cheaper myself by going to the local tri-county gas store BUT I get that weird look when I bring stuff (not from their shop) to them enough without doing that.
The rep tells me I'll be getting a hydro , vip and O2 clean tank and valve. I first thought.. nope I am taking my tanks and leaving as this is gonna be some serious cheese. Then I pondered.. the idea of getting a O2 clean once and your tank is clean forever is ludicrous. I have not had them cleaned since I purchased them five years ago and since ALL the local shops do partial blend fills and not banked it makes some sense to me.
Hydro + Vip + Clean + stickers + 36% fill = aprox $80.00 each.
I at first had sticker shock but in the end decided this is not a bad idea plus I will not get that glare from them when I come in for fills like I do for reg Services.
