Re: 02 cleaning cylinders using biox

To remove cleaning agents we put a hose into the tank connected to a tap and let the hose run for 5 minutes or so, letting the water run out from the top of the tank.

We then boil some water and place it in the tank, flush it around and remove. We do this a few times to heat up the tank to assit in drying.

A hair dryer with a "special" hose attachment is then inserted and the tank blow dried straight away until you can see no water drops in the cylinder with your light.

All hoses inserted are O2 cleaned before insertion......of course. And do one cylinder at a time from start to finish.

In terms of a light. Simple small globe attached in a holder and electrical wire attached to holder which runs to a power source. In our case a 12V power pack, but it could be a battery source. Just dangle the globe/wires into the tank and you can see the probs, if any exist. Inexpensive. Just visit your local electronics shops for the bits. They will be able to suggest things as well.

Have fun.
