    Any chance we can get you to share the location of the hydro shop Dell? As Kenny mentioned, I think they are the exception to most and I am sure that anyone who might be close enough to them would likely have an interest in using them. I would drive an hour or two for the type of service you reported.
    DeWayne,
    You know how our local hydro. facility works. They do a good job but don't clean anything. I was always happy to take care of that for you, while you were in the area.
    Dell,
    I have to drive an hour just to see another human being
    Thanks guys,
    Kenny P.

    Of course the facility is in Florida, just a tad farther drive for you guys
    As a point of reference for anyone, try going to a facility that caters to large fire departments etc. Services rendered on this level would tend to be more complete. I doubt most large municipal dept. would expect the firemen to clean cylinders before putting them back in service.

    I think that is the norm for most that do scuba cylinders Kenny. I have my tumbler up and running now and found a great source for ceramic media, but with some of the cylinders that I have seen returning from hydro at various locations it would be almost worth it to drive back down and have them done. So far up here all I have dealt with is some AL cylinders, but have some steels that will see the man soon and I will get to see how they stack up in this area. I may take my steels the 135 miles to Bloomington and have them hydroed by the shop I did my PSI class with (he's a retester as well.)
