Filling At Your Local Party Store

Call your local party store before arriving to be sure they fill balloons with pure helium and the charge for a large size foil balloon.  Generally you can get your ZEP-AIR balloon filled with pure helium for less than $10 and usually will provide a bag to cover the balloon for easier transport and also to shield against potentially blinding reflections while secured in the transport vehicle.

How will I know the helium content of a party helium tank brand?

By law, helium tank packaging must disclose the gas type beside the large compressed gas symbol required by transportation authorities.  If the gas type is listed as (Helium , Air) the helium is mixed with air.  If the gas type is listed as (Helium) the gas is pure 99%+ helium.  A trustworthy brand will disclose the helium content on the packaging and on the tank.
