I take it he left the bottle heater on huh?
 
The hydro test involves pressurizing the tank to 5/3 of its working pressure with water ( not air. ) Since water is incompressible, if the tank fails, the water will quietly leak out. If air were used, a rupturing tank would destroy a large part of the building it was in.


along with a visual inspection , inside and out

except if its an nx heater it is pressure controlled, i guess he could have put it to a manual switch, but i doubt

not if the bottle is closed.
It has to be open for the pressure switch to work unless you have a bottle with a full time pressure port
