Poll: 2023 Cost of hydro in USA?

[ScubaBunga]

I

can you get + stamps on "modern" LP tanks (ones with the RIN number stamped on them)?

I'll make the trip with my tanks....

If you can’t get a plus on a tank that comes with REE stamped on it, find a new hydro place right away!

And why do you think I just asked him?

I've lost one tank at the first hydro due to incompetence, and have no "+" stamps on modern LP tanks that have been requalified. The hydro facilities here are abysmal....

$40 or $45 can’t remember exactly.

 

[azstinger11]

That is a great price.

I’m certainly not complaining

I take mine to the local fire extinguisher place and do the rest myself

$25 for a hydro only (Massachusetts)

"Hydro" can mean:

1. Just hydro - typically going to a fire-extinguisher or similar place.
2. hydro + VIP + fill - At scuba-shops.

I'll have to check on #1 again this year, but I believe the prices are:

1. $20 to $25 for just hydro.
2. $50 to $60 for the full thing.

For reference, VIP + Fill at shops is $20 (typical) to $25.

Low of $20. Shop was having a sale, did work in house, brought in 5 at once, requested only 2 to be filled.
High of $50. Shop farmed the hydro out to another shop but did the vis and fill in house.

This is all in the past 5 years.

That's a whole nuther other poll !! Don't blur the lines ....

Another hydro poll

Again, I was limiting scope for the poll to USA as regs vary. However, If you're international and wish to let us know how hydro works in your neck of the woods please leave us a note. That'd be interesting too

That's a separate poll: "What does your LDS change to ruin perfectly good tanks?"
