Bottle Testing

Rob, give it to hpac on Sunday. They charge £23.50 and then you pick it up at the next MM event. Or you can pay thirty something and they will deliver it back to you.
Planet don't do bottle testing anymore.

Yeah HPAC do air bottle testing, but if it fails you dont get the bottle back... they saw it in half, which is damn rude, and they should replace it for damaging it further... my mate had a bottle tested by them, it came back in two pieces!! really pissed him off.....
It wouldnt of been so bad if it came back in one piece saying that it failed, but in two pieces... bottles arn't cheap you know!!
just be abit weary of this....

If the bottle fails then it is DANGEROUS - sawing it in half is a bloody good thing in my book, stops idiots endangering themselves and others by using it thinking 'oh, it'll be alright'
But thats the thing, my mate wasnt going to use it if it was outa date... HPAC could at-least asked permission first...... and i may be mistaken, but old AIR bottles can be turned into Co2 bottles....
Why on earth would you want to use a bottle whch has failed it's test? Whether it be for CO2 or Air? Do you not value your safety?
Yeah right dude, HPAC do this to protect US not ur mate. I have nothin negative to say about this at all, if ur bottle fails (as Pink said) it is dangerous, and I for one don t want to be at the air station when a dodgy one blows.
HPAC are doin the right thing, people can not be trusted to just simply not use them cause they are out of date! Yes bottles are expensive but so is losin ur arm or another part of ur body
And as for the askin permission thing.............eh naw mate sorry. Wot gets done gets done for a reason and that is safety and safety ma boy is sumthin u don t fcuk with
Mak D
yes i do value my safety, and others... but i dont agree with HPAC destroying bottles without permission.... if they rang up and said it was outa date, and that it needs to be destroyed, then it wouldnt be so bad...
All im saying is be weary of things if your bottle is outa date... thats all.
im not in anyway shape or form, dissing HPAC, if it seems that way im sorry, they do a great job and offer us excellent AIR at tournies...

You will probably find that H-Pac are legally bound to destroy failed bottles - did you bother to ask them?
They are very nice guys, and I find it hard to believe that they would saw your bottle in half just for kicks.
