Hey everyone,
You may have noticed that Sport Chalet no longer uses a water filled station to fill tanks. Now they just hot fill cylinders with the guage adjusted right to 3000psi(example-for AL 80).
The fill takes about 10 minutes and when complete, the tank is VERY hot. Then after the tank has cooled, it is at 2650 psi or so.
What's up with this?
The manager says they made this decision to not fill the sumps with water because it causes splashing on the employee uniforms, and is not presentable to the customers.
I understand that Sport Chalet isn't really a dive shop,but merely a department store with a dive section, but its 1/4 mile from my house, and its open late.
Any thoughts? Is this bad for tanks? Maybe this should go to Whine and Cheeze.
