On the way home from the office I stopped to get the annual inspection on 2 of my tanks.
The LDS pointed out a flash rust on the inside of both tanks. He told me next year they would need to be blasted, and said whomever was filling them was letting in water. He also said breathing them down to under 500psi could cause this.
My wife and I have never let a tank get below 500psi, and this LDS has done all of our fills with the exception of some trips. The tanks have 100 dives each on them. We do a lot of beach dives which I wondered somehow could cause this?
This LDS always does hot fills, but I was told that would not affect the integrity of the tank. Tomorrow I'm taking my other tanks to him for Viz. Any recommendations? Thank you...
