Packhorse:As soon as you fill the tank with normal air you lose its O2 clean rating and it will have to be O2 cleaned again before PPB of nitox.
My LDS says it costs him $2.50nz per fill to use the extra filter needed to fill an O2 clean tank with air. So instead of $3 a fill for air its $5.50 for a "clean air" fill and $20 for a nitrox fill plus $50 for a O2 clean.
scubamarcp:thanks alot guys for the info ,so if i use only hypercleaned air i can go back and forth to nitrox and air.
SparticleBrane:That sounds like BS. I'll bet if you walked back there, they come out of the same bank.
