Oxy pro does a straight exchange, bring in an empty and they'll give you another bottle full. Cost a bit more but you never have to worry about inspections or re-certifying the bottles and there's no waiting.

There's also a few places that offer a rush charge of $10 to fill a bottle within a few hours, I believe Innovative Fire and Safety does this. Another option is to try The Vineyard which is a home brewing supply store which can fill C02 tanks but I have no idea what turn around they offer.

3+ day turn around is pretty typical, they usually want to fill multiple bottles at a time rather than just one.

I use Innovative Fire & Safety to refill my bottles. The store used to be something else (forget the name now) but that's who I used before, too.

I think they told me it would be a few days last time, and it was only 1 or 2 in the end.

But usually that's pretty typical, expect it to take a few days unless you're good with an exchange program. Last time I looked into that though I seem to recall it wasn't really a good option cost-wise. So I choose to wait for a fill... I find my tank usually does OK enough with the reactor CO2 offline for a few days. Can always adjust with 2 part if levels get too far away..

The Vineyard in Calgary...6025-center street south, 403 258-1580

a bit of info from there website...


5LB CO2 CYLINDER NEW AND FULL

We sell them full and can refill on site. Tanks purchased from us can be exchanged for the cost of the fill plus $5.00. As the tanks are prefilled they can not be shipped.

Air liquide should fill them on site as long as the hydro test is current. I used to get my nitrogen filled there when I lived in calgary.
