I have a question and please excuse my ignorance. I purchased two fairly new Al80s. I had them visually inspected and asked that they were to be O2 cleaned and filled with NOX32. When I picked them up my shop told me that they didnt need to O2 clean them because they used a Membrane system for filling and at that percentage it was not necessary. They wanted to save me money which I appreciate. If they are filled somewhere else, however, that does not use this type of system its a different story.
My question is after a year of 32% fills, what would be the harm if I had another shop that did not use a Membrane system for filling? Is it really necessary to have them O2 cleaned or at this point would it be okay? I assume that if there would be an issue it would be in the filling process. Of course I dont want to put anybody at risk by neglecting to identify that they were not cleaned. Any advice would be appreciated.

(pun intended) I happened to come across this from Luxifer. They require O2 cleaning for anything over 23.5% O2. I am not saying I agree with them just providing the link to their FAQ.
