Oxygen bottle

**fox** · 06-25-2014, 04:54 PM

Just purchased the keep alive o2 system for my bait tank. I'm having a real hard time finding someone that will fill the bottle. Anybody have any idea where I can get this done in the Columbia area?

Airgas?

Call a DME company or a welding supply shop

What's a DME company?

I work for a hospital and we use Airgas.

I go to Airgas for both my CO2/argon and argon gas bottle fills. Off of shop road. I honestly don't see you having any trouble at all getting O2

Went to air gas and he said he could fill it. Said I would have to leave it there for three days and it would cost $15. Didn't make sense to me. Fishing shops around lake Lanier fill them for $5 on spot. Had a dive shop tell me I need a prescription for u2. Praxx only does exchanges I'd prefer to keep this good looking tank instead of exchanges.

I called various medical supplies and welding shops they all acted like I was crazy. Thought O2 for bait was a little more common. Lake world sells the system but didn't know where to get the bottle filled. Slightly humorous.

is there a possibility of using good old fashioned compressed air ?

Seems like you should have just left it there.
