Helium
cgg90210 - 5-11-12 at 11:08 PM

Hey again,

Here in Southern California we are having an issue getting helium from our distributor (Praxair). They have cut our allotment by almost 70%. Would'nt be a huge issue if we only did pool leaks, but we depend on it for large property irrigation leaks ( a lot of our jobs are Beverly Hills or surrounding areas with HUGE parcels).
Does anyone know of another type of inert trace gas along with a "sniffer"? Thanks guys

P.S. I know about hydrogen, can't use...
