LordGamebore 0 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Do you have to get a visual and hydrostatic test done every 3 years on your divers bottle? I heard it's like £100. Cheers Quote Link to post

SEAN3513 7 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 yes it is if its only being used for charging your air gun, have it stamped "SURFACE USE ONLY" it then only requires testing every 5 years instead of 3. cheers sean Quote Link to post
farmboy99 1 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 i wondered about this too. ive just got into pcp recently i took my bottle to the dive shop to get it filled and the chap there told me they need testing every 2 and half years but in 2 seperate ways. so a 'visual' test then after 2 1/2 a different test i cant remember the name of and the after 2 1/2 a visual again and so on. i thought it was only every 5 years too but he seemed to think different. never cleared it up was he wrong then?
