Part of the VIP and what caught the problem in my tanks as the fault was
not clearly visible.

In Ontario, Canada the better dive stores moved over to using Visual
Plus (mid 90's) at all VIP's often at no extra charge (It's been $15 Can
for years)..  it only takes an extra minute or two.
The first stores used the fact they had Visual Plus capability as a
sales tool....  One even went as far as to say no fill without Visual
Plus and would do it at time of fill.
Most stores here do Visual Plus testing as part of the yearly VIP.
