That is why I was thinking it was something wrong with the cylinders. I have a few other single steel cylinders that I have been using for years and getting filled at that shop and used on boats, they got a tumble when needed. I was diving them 2 to 3 times a week as well and they have no pitting.

But a few years of diving these doubles 2 to 3 times a week and it failed a visual. I was hoping XS would handle it, but they just passed the buck.

Given the QC required for building pressure vessels, starting with test reports on the steel used, I think it unlikely the problem lies with the tanks. I think it more likely you had one or more fills when the filtration had failed.
