I have no problem with Mike's post here, but the fact you spent 50 bucks and they shuffled you out the door would be enough for me to be awfully pissed off.MikeFerrara once bubbled...
I would charge you for using the pool though.

I can say that there's nothing written in any of those policies that tell me when or why to inspect a reg or any other piece of equipment. The insurance companies pretty much leave it to the equipment manufacturer to decide when what, when and how to service their equipment.
I believe there are some online equipment sellers that don't know a reg from a box of soap and after buying from them it might be a good idea to have the reg checked (if you can't do it yourself).

I really liked my instructor at SSI, but would prefer never to spend one cent in their store again.
Thoughts appreciated,
Tony.

Ok, I will probably get flamed for this, but anyways...
I see their side of having to check your reg out to make sure it is good working condition. It is their pool. Their insurance may not cover them if an accident should happen and they allowed a foreign regulator into their pool without examing it. I would have said, congrats on your new purchase, you are going to like this reg, years of trouble free service, etc, etc, and then just hooked it up to the test bench, checked the IP, checked both second stages, and into the pool you go. NO CHARGE. $50 is a little high for the service, if they even did anything. I would try to get them to refund that money back towards an AOW class. See what they say...
