Xs scuba metal impact aluminum 13 cu ft pony bottle – 3000 psi aluminum scuba cylinder

Description

The XS Scuba Metal Impact Aluminum SCUBA Tank is a durable, reliable, and visually appealing cylinder manufactured from lightweight, high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. The 13 cubic foot model is an ideal choice for use as a pony bottle, redundant air supply system, bailout cylinder, or decompression/safety stop gas supply.

A pony bottle provides a completely independent backup breathing system with its own regulator and gas supply, offering true redundancy underwater. Compact yet capable, the 13 cu ft cylinder is a popular option for divers wanting increased backup gas capacity without excessive bulk.

Aluminum cylinders offer excellent corrosion resistance compared to steel cylinders. Rather than rusting, aluminum forms a protective oxide layer that helps prevent continued corrosion and extends the service life of the cylinder.
