Bottle testing, Southampton

[Clompy]

Without me having to spend tedious time looking through the phone book, talking to dive shops about getting paintball cylinders tested and facing the usual 100 questions...blah...blah...blah, I was wondering if anyone has found anywhere around the Southampton area to get their bottle tested that gave them a good service??

cheers, Clompy

Dive tank or gat bottle??

Sorry Mike, didn't think that far ahead.
It's gat bottle testing I need.
Do I have to make sure I tell them it's not for water use or something like that to get a 5 year retest, not 3?

PM unshaven I think he was saying he had found some companies in the south to test one of his set ups.

theres a place called solent cylinders (i think) they're located in fort fareham buisness park and do most of the cylinder testing for all the local dive shops in the southampton/ portsmouth area, price was reasonable and turnaround was quick- however i personally would send my bottle off to HPAC, the solent cylinder guys are used to dive/Breathing apparatus cylinders and aren't particually keen on paintball cylinders- especially ones were the valve (regs) are removeable.

Hi A.B.
Have you got the address for HPAC just in case southern cylinders decide they don't like my fancy paintball tanks, lol
