recovery tanks

[njtinman]

i sold the r22 in my tanks to a reclaimer so he took the tank to his work emptied it out and brought back my tank

i just talked to a welding supply by me and he will do each tank for $22 each. that's a lot less than a new tank

Only problem with testing tanks is they fill them with water during the hydrotest process. If you ever intend to use them as reclaim tanks to hold refrigerant while servicing a system the tanks will need special processing that most welding supplys do not do.

You do not want wet tanks while doing service work

last i knew they put the whole tank in water not water in the tank

[njtinman]

and also i thought if you put the tank into a vacuum it would boil off any mosture

For every 30lbs of r22 we exchange they sell us a virgin drum for $200 vs the $485 to buy a single drum. They don't care if the tank is out of date or not.

jtrammel do you mind saying what supply house does that. Seems like a pretty decent deal.
Even though we got 40 tanks that we split up in 4 different locations that we paid $425 after tax Hell only paying $200 for a new tank of r22 is a pretty good deal
