How to Exchange Tanks at The Beverage People

1. Check to see if your tank has been tested within the last 4 1/2 years.
2. Check to be sure it is empty of CO2 (and beer!).  The tare weight will be stamped on the side.  An empty tank should have that weight.  To check for CO2 or beer inside, you can turn the tank upside down and open the valve.  MAKE SURE THE OUTLET IS FACING AWAY FROM YOU.
3. Add THIS ITEM to your cart.  With this item you will be purchasing a USED and FILLED CO2 tank.  
4. As you pickup the USED Filled Tank from pickup room at our warehouse, drop off your empty 5 lb CO2 Tank.  Please be sure to put a label on your empty tank with your NAME and write "CO2 EXCHANGE".  We will refund your card the core value according to the following pricing schedule, if it has been tested within the last 4 1/2 years or was previously purchased/filled by our store:

Out of date tanks from other vendors will be charged a $50 hydro test fee.

How We Handle Hydrostat Testing Fees

If you are exchanging a tank that you RECEIVED FROM The Beverage People and that tank has an expired hydrostat test date stamp on it, we will exchange that tank without charging a hydrostat test fee.  In this case The Beverage People will pay the retest fee.

If you are exchanging a tank that you DID NOT RECEIVE FROM The Beverage People, and that tank has an expired hydrostat test date stamp on it OR a date that will expire within the next 6 months, you must pay a $55 hydrostat test fee in order to exchange that tank at The Beverage People.
