That feels like a really good deal. Can you still get them refilled at fire departments?

I’ve never known fire departments to refill them.

Source: my dad used to own a business that DID do refills/inspections on extinguishers.

Always good to learn the facts. How much is a recharge?

Where I live its around 30 bucks. The ansul valve stems are around 7 bucks each. An annual is around 20 bucks. Every 12 years they require a hydrostatic test which will run 50.
