Life Expectancy of FermZilla Conical Fermenter?

[jpitz31]

Just wondering what the life expectancy of the FermZilla Conical Fermenter is? I know what hydrotesting is and have done testing on other types of pressure vessels.

I am thinking of purchasing a few and wondering how long they last before you have to replace the container portion of the fermenter?

Thanks

You have to retest every two years to check it's ability to hold pressure, but it should last longer than that if you take care of it (no hot liquids, no abrasive materials scratching it up, no damaging cleaners (like star san), and just avoiding dings, dents, and stress marks).

My random guess is that they will last more than 5 years with proper care.
