Hi, whats the expiration date or year on the hydrotest of these tanks? or better yet, for how many years I can fully load this tank without any risk?

All Alumimmum paintball tanks must be hydrotested every 5 yrs and they don't have a life span so they be can fill as long as they pass the hydrotest.

Hello, all of the new tanks for paintball come with a 5 year hydro-test date. After 5 years you just need to test them at a store and you can use it for another 5 years.

Most of the kit is at work but the emergency water pack expires 8/15(water expires??). I would think buying one today would have a different date than the one I bought some time ago.

I put mine on a tank from 1985 and it works. It is trial and error in the sense that I had to make adjustments. You can always call the company as I did a few times; I found them to be very helpful.

6 year parts and tank. Warranties are only valid if unit was installed by a properly licensed technician.

Carl G I would like to know why you needed an oil lubricated pump? Changing to wet rotor may be an issue because of the clearances...if it stops it might only a small particle...I once had some system "goo" hat stopped one...it took washing it out with diesel to get it back running. Both engineering submitals indicate the NRF22 is about 2GPM less than the LR20BF at 10ft head...so here's the thing...depending on what system youre installing it on...most systems were designed for 160f DHW or 180f HWH water so by putting this in (I dont know your system but I would do it) you'll have a slighting lower flow rate...in DHW who cares as its no big deal...BUT in a HWH system your control valves will open more and this is a seriously good thing in modulating valves. There will be a larger delta T so I'd also lower my boiler temperature by at least 20f assuming youve some form of condensing boiler...this will help ensure youre in condensing mode. Circulate fluid...not temperature and you'll save a lot of money. Make sure your side stream filter is clean and check it a few times in the first 1-2 months because the more flow means the more crud is likely to get back to your HEX...if there isnt one put a Y strainer in and add a "sock" on the screen for a month or 2). A possible problem is how many zones open/ resistance decreases across too many different circuits/ zones...too many and there wont be enough. The system I installed this on it is actually the primary circulator through a 2xwall HEX serving the HWH off the DHW system...it works so well Ive been promoting it/ its been installed on 3 systems in this last year (its not my J.O.B but I do design energy and conservation projects as is my profession). Last, make sure the expansion tank is on the pump inlet side/ the return (DHWR or HWHR)...these high speed pumps cannot handle even a minimal bit of cavitation. All the best

I believe there's a one year warranty. This is the third or fourth year for the first one I purchased (have two stock tanks) and have had absolutely no problems with it. No problems with the second one purchased either, and this is the second year for it.

That sounds like a product defect. I've had three of these in the past ten years and they always have lasted 2.5 to 3 weeks per tank.

I love the tank also, I have had it for about 8 months. I use an inexpensive digital GE timer I picked up at Walmart. I am not sure of the rating. But have had no issues at all with this timer or the tank.

Have you kept it in the refrigerator? Personally I think if you've had it that long I wouldn't trust it in my tank. It's inexpensive where as your tank inhabitants is not. Toss it and get a new bottle would be my advice

If the filter is still in the original packaging it wont just poof expire. But the filter inside the unit does need replaced after use I find after about 30-50 gallons of water but have been told as low as 25 and as high as 100 gallons. I think its one of those if the water is clean it pumps more water and the closer you use it together time wise the more it pumps but not exactly sure. Remember to always carry iodine pills for backup.

I have a feeling the longevity is around 4 years. Mine is also about 4 years old and I had an issue today where it was jumping around 0.6 for no reason... I imagine the sensors on the bottom get worn out. Not sure if a shot of WD-40 will make things better or worse.

My expiry says 2/2019, however the lot numbers on the reagent bottles say they were made in October of 2008. These are supposed to expire after 3 to 5 years. Is someone repackaging old expired bottles?Source: http://www.aquariumforum.com/f2/api-freshwater-master-test-kit-information-15347.html

I may be wrong, but I'm thinking water doesn't go bad. I'm betting the "5 year shelf life" is mostly to get you to buy more in 4 years. :-)Like I said, I could be wrong.

Not going to sound very smart, but its quite a lot. I've had mine for a 10 gal aqu for 1 year, and I've only used half of it thus far.

Correct you just have to get it re hydro tested after those 5 years or else no one will fill it up for you.

Bought Jun 17 2013 and it says 2014/08/31. You could still keep it everything is ok as long as you store it right. Just finish reading OffGrid (magazine) and theres a article about exp dates.

a 20# tank on high has lasted me 6 hours if not on high roughly 11. They say 14 on low but I have never run mine just on low.
