Does anyone know how many TIG bottles we lease/ own and our monthly costs associated? I believe I may have a better solution.
All of our service comes from Metroplex Welding, with the exception of Saturday night / Sunday service which is home depot for the pony bottles (since they can swap them on a Sunday if a class is in need of a refill)
We have the following bottles and corresponding mixtures (I don’t remember the size nomenclature off the top of my head since I never use it):
2x pony 100% Argon (DMS). These are for committee & classes only to ensure we have some as needed in a pinch
1x “larger” pony 100% Argon (DMS)
1x mid-size 25/75 CO2 / Argon (DMS)
2x standard size 25/75 CO2 / Argon (Metroplex)
2x standard size 100% Argon (Metroplex)
Correction: we do pay a small monthly, but I’d have to look for what it is; @TBJK says it’s pretty small, but I haven’t seen a statement for it.
Cheers,

We have 2 250 or 300 cf Argon & 2 250 or 300 cf 75/25 on lease from Metroplex. I’m not going to say what we pay for them on an open public forum.
