HOG SPG accuracy

[deadbilly]

First, I apologize if this has been discussed before. I did a cursory search and didn't come up with anything. I've got a 1.5" HOG spg that I've had for just about 2 years now. Recently, I've noticed the accuracy has been quite a bit off, reading consistently low by more than 500psi. When I say "recently," I mean that I've recently noticed the inaccuracy, but I don't know if it has only recently become that way. My other (much newer) spg of the same model has no problems. Is it possible to recalibrate these things? Do they just lose accuracy over time? Is mine busted?

Thanks. I've been generally very happy with these products. Just curious about the pressure gauge.

Is the 1.5" the plastic one or the small glass one?

fill one of these out and send it back and we'll get a new one on the way to you.

Hey deadbilly how cool is that. I've had mine for about 3 years now, seems fairly accurate.
Only problem was a leaky spool, but easy to replace.

Thanks, cerich!

Oh, and it's the glass one, and it turns out it was the 2" one, not the 1.5".

HOG... great products, and great customer service! I'll certainly be looking at more of them in the future.

I have one of their 2" spgs and thats probably one of the best. Great finish and no stupid red area that makes needle hard to see.

deadbilly, how did you discover that it was inaccurate in the first place? Just out of curiosity.

After getting fills together and comparing gas before dives, buddies would always have 3500+, I would always have <= 3000. I compared the same tanks with my other SPGs and they all give the higher pressure. To be sure, I tried it in a pressure pot.

I just wanted to say thanks to Edge/HOG for replacing this, with no cost and under warranty, despite them being 2+ years old.
