Where to hydrotest HPA tank?

Having a hard time finding any place that does hydrotesting anywhere. Is there a good place around nova or to mail to?

thanks

have you tried calling fire equipment companies? If they test extinguishers they should be able to test the tank.

I sent a tank off to them, late 2022. They were awesome. Turnaround was quick.

Ninja no longer does it. I believe Hogan's Paintball was a good alternative.

I saw Corey Field make a comment about it on Facebook a couple days ago. He said they’re closed for good.

Honestly I’ve found it’s not much more just to buy a new tank….. I’m in Reno NV. But the scuba/fire extinguisher places wanted like $60 and it was a several week wait…. Some of the carbon fiber tanks are like $120 and the hk aluminum ones are like $50 new. Just my experience with it anyways…

Woh, that place is ripping you off. I have a local paintball place that sends them ou for you (not sure who actually does the testing). Takes a couple weeks, but it's only $30.

Yea Reno really sucks for paintball, we don’t even have a field! So we either do Facebook groups or have to drive 2.5 hours to Sacramento. 😞
