I don't suggest this though.

I know crossfire does it.  you send them the tank and they will hydro it for you.  they also do a reg swap prograb if you dont like that reg.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

Hey Ken, I'm assuming you've used this service? Are their claims accurate? I have a 3500 I need to hydro.

Their claims?

Yes.. they claim to hydrostatically test paintball air tanks.
And yes...they do that.

Other than that...you lost me.

I used them about 3 years ago.

I didn't have them re-build a reg for me, and I removed my own reg.

It took about a week from the time I shipped it until I got it back. I live in Ohio...so it probably was 24 hour turnaround and standard shipping 3 days each way...so yeah...I think they speak the truth in their advertising.

I found a place cheaper that is local to me ($25)....and it is only cheaper because of the shipping.

p.s. I've never heard of a 3500psi paintball tank before.

dsen, I believe your tank either needed to be re hyrdoed last november, or you have until November '09.

Call up Pure Energy and ask
Que pasa?

I typed in Pure Energy and it was the first site that came up. Pure Energy tanks are made by PMI.
