geleen Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Just refilled my 10 lbs tank and it measures about 900 lbs is this average or low? I seem to remember 1100 a year ago but as you know I am ancient at least it feels like that today......... J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gBOYsc2 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hmm..... that seems it might be a little low. I just checked my 5 lb which has been going strong for a few months now and still reads 1000 psi. Is it possible you have a leak or need some new seals?

jewels Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I do not recall ever getting one back over 1000 psi. So I am thinking -- its about right. Tank cylinder temp can push the pressure around a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 my 10lb sits at around 900 after a fill as well and remains there for months before the pressure slowly starts to decline. I have it diffusing into 3 tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATM Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Where did you get yours filled, I have a 5lb that I need filled in Edmonton. I don't want to trade it in at Oxypro because its a nice new aluminum tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 OxyPro will fill your tank for you - I get mine filled while I pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let them know that you don't want to swap and they'll give it back to you as is.... might have to stick around for 5-10 mins though.
