In my research it says the life of these tanks is 15 years. If ordered what is the manufacture date? I understand the certified date is for 5 years

I'm not exactly sure where to find it but where I think it is located is in between a CL symbol. Mine said 09/14. Hope this helps!

Correct you just have to get it re hydro tested after those 5 years or else no one will fill it up for you.

I love the tank also, I have had it for about 8 months. I use an inexpensive digital GE timer I picked up at Walmart. I am not sure of the rating. But have had no issues at all with this timer or the tank.

2 of mine are over 15 years old and show no sign of quality degradation. I recently bought a new one and did not see any info sheet requiring visual or hydro testing. I recommend you give Worthington a call or email. Capt. Bill

Its been awhile since I bought this but I remember doing a second order for tanks. Not sure if it didn't come with it or because I wanted extras. I woulld buy extras anyway. This tank won't last that long if you use it consistantly everyday.

6 year parts and tank. Warranties are only valid if unit was installed by a properly licensed technician.

Mine have stopped working after 3 months. I just talked with Berkey and they are spec'd to work for 500 gal each. I am being told they should be replaced every 6 months. I would really like to know how anyone has kept there's going for years. I'm pretty frustrated as I thought I was making a long term investment.

Hi, I have not changed mine as of yet. It says the membrane can last up to 3-5 yrs, I have had mine since Oct. 2012. Works great, I love it, does what I need it for. I use it for my Reef tank. I hope I helped a little. If I were you I would go to their web site to make sure. Thanks for asking! Linda

I have had two blocks in the tank for 5 months. It is my understanding from reading about them, they are good for at least 12-15 months.

If you check the back side of the unit you will see a label which has various pieces of information including a manufactured date. I quite sure you'll find it is probably six or more years old. That being the case, the unit must be replaced. It's useful life has been reached. It is designed to be this way. New batteries will make no difference.

I never had to use the warranty. The only issue I had with this system is that it really isn't sufficient to be used with a 55 gallon tank. The turn over is not enough to keep it as clean as necessary. I think for a smaller tank the system would work well. Mine is now collecting dust in the basement and I have gone to a much larger system with a sump and an overflow box (since my tank is not a reef ready tank). I do agree about the noise also.

I installed this unit last February. I have a 375 gal tank and home only uses gas for the Rinnai and my home furnace. Over the summer/fall when my furnace is not in use, the gauge barely moves on my tank. My best guess is that a 20 lb tank would last 2 months. Consider what fittings and connections you might need because the typical 20 fitting for a grill might not give you enough flow for the Rinnai.

Yes Bob, I have an expiration date of 5-15 and have had this in my IFAK for about a year or so. My gear gets beat up regularly and its still in good order. I did not see a manufacture date so I will guess this is 5yrs recommended but Wife is in the medical field and with proper care and storage most med supplies will last far longer than the expiration date suggests. Better to have an out of date good one than a hole in your chest you cant deal with. Mitch

I'm not sure about the warranty, but these coffeemakers are not used. Also, the tank is black plastic. Hope that helps.

Hello, all of the new tanks for paintball come with a 5 year hydro-test date. After 5 years you just need to test them at a store and you can use it for another 5 years.

I now saw the Protec cartridge package which is probably what your question was. Turn off your unit first. Remove the tanks (2). Facing the motor housing, look straight down on the right, close to that housing. There a round hole that the cartridge fits into. Just put in in there, reinstall the tanks and turn on your unit. The cartridges last up to 30 days before they need replacing.

The manufacturer of the components you use these cylinders recommend changing the cylinders every year. I think that is too excessive. The exp. date on the cylinder is pointless unless you see damage on the cylinder or the top opening. I would change them out at least every 3 years though, and when you get ready to change them, discharge the vest to see if it inflates without any leaks. Don't know if this helps.
