He's right--this works. I've had my Soda Stream hooked up to a 20 lb. (9kg) tank for ages. A tank refill costs about 25 bucks and lasts about a year, sometimes longer. And I drink a lot of seltzer water. Using their small tanks was costing me at least 30 bucks a month or more.
Yes it's definitely the way to go. Glad you enjoy using this device.
Hi , What psi pressure you have at the discharge of the Regulator ? Thanks
@@usmanfbh there is no regulator on his system, only a pressure gauge
Yes, I'm also from the 410 gr dry ice refill video 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Same! 😂😂😂
Same
Uhhh top comment. Thx guys 👀
Now I have to celebrate I finally achieved something in life 🎉✨
Yep, dry ice FTW.
This is not a bad deal though if you want more convenience.
For $5, I get a 5lb dry ice bag pellets and can fill 4 cartridges and that last 4 months for my use. Hard to beat that.
Thank you Keg, you are the genius! I have just successfully filled up the cylinder with the new valve. It is too tricky to do so . Your information is so useful to me. Thanks a lot!
No worries at all. Let me know if we can assist in any other way.
I went to an air-gas supplier here in Seattle and it was easy as pie... They sold me a 25# bottle with siphon tube (because you need the liquid at the bottom, not the gas at the top) (though you can also just turn the bottle upside down so liquid is coming out the valve)... Fittings were standard... I chose to recharge the little bottle that comes with the Drinkmate and NOT direct supply from the bigger bottle... If you choose to supply from the bigger bottle, you want the gas, not the liquid CO2... Just tell the gas supplier what you're doing and they'll set you up...
Direct from big bottle... Gas
Charging little bottle... Liquid
Turned out to be an easy job... And one more thing... I found that if you charge the water bottle once, take it off and shake it a few seconds, you can charge more CO2 into it... Hope this all helps.
Ralph Marshall Hi Ralph, I’m up in the Seattle area as well. Mind giving me the name of the supplier you used? Thanks in advance.
@@allenjohnson5536 Central Welding Supply 5401 4th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98108.
They know exactly what you need...
Thanks also in US (Massachusetts) and we go through the cylinders like crazy!
I was also worried if I order from AU that the valves wouldn't be the same sizes like with the electric plugs haha!
Using a large gas cylinder is vastly better than paying for the paltry amount of CO2 that you get in a Soda Stream cylinder. And BTW this exact same procedure can be used with Drink Mate, which I think is a much better device than Soda Stream.
Absolutely! It is way more economical in the long run.
I was literally thinking "man, wouldn't it be nice if it had a quick disconnect" and he just throws it right out there :D
It no longer comes with a quick disconnect :(
@@TheducksOrg Yeah, I noticed that when I went to look at how much it was. I don't have a Sodastream, but something like this would have gotten me to consider it.
@@cujoedaman yeah the o-rings in the high pressure quick disconnects had a tendency to blow out and cause issues. Sometime the o-ring would blow down the tube itself and then cause a blockage. So to make the system more reliable we decided to remove the quick disconnect all together.
@@KegLand Ahh, that makes sense.
@@KegLand without the o-ring, is this more "safer"?
Really pleased to see Ben Cousins looking so well.
Yeah they looking alike Mate! This guy has never been arrested or had a belly tattoo!
Thank you very much for the information! I like my soda stream, but the little cylinders cost me $15US And I've only been get 15 to 18 refills. So soon as I can get a bigger cylinder w/adapter I will.
It's a good idea. I have a 20 lb. tank hooked into my SodaStream with a gadget like this. It costs 25 USD to fill and it lasts a year, and use it a LOT, 2-3 liters a day minimum, many 6 or 7 a day in summer. Very easy and convenient. You can probably find a 20 lb. tank on Craigslist.
Thank you. I want a Sodastream but didn't like the numbers of the recurring costs...
In the UK so not in your part of the world, but I've just got a cylinder of CO2 to use with my soda stream..Can i ask if you turn the CO2 gas cylinder back off after you have added the right amount co2 in your 1 litre bottle using the straight to soda machine method?? or can it be left open all the time?? Thanks for your great tutorial, i have decided that its far cheaper to buy a big cylinder. Here in the UK its stupidly expensive to keep buying soda stream gas from soda stream them selves..
Once you have done a pressure check and make sure you have no leaks in the system you can just leave the gas cylinder turned on all the time. No need to turn it off.
We do sell under the counter water carbonators now that are even better if you can be bothered plumbing these into your bench. So it's worth looking at these too
@@KegLand Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question, greatfully appreciated..
In Finland it costs only 3,99€ to refill co2 bottle. Mark isn't Sodastream but bottle is same.
I was skeptical that it was liquid CO2, but checked and it turns to liquid at only 5.1 bar. So as long as there's any liquid in the tank it should be at 5.1 bar.
5.1bar is very low in pressure. I would say it's not filled yet. Of you have one of the new Sodastream ones they are making these harder to fill. So I would consider getting one of ours instead that are quite easy to fill:
www.kegland.com.au/450gram-sodastream-compatible-refillable-gas-cylinder-for-co2-or-nitrogen.html
@A Google User
i think he is referring to refilling the canister
The chart says 5.1 bar at -56C so at room temperature the pressure would be about 65 bar.
i've loved sparkling water Aka:- soda water since i was a kid, i used to make it in the old wire encased soda bottles my dad had for his bar. it was bloody expensive back then and i only ever had it as a treat, then came sodastream in my late teens around the late 70s and it was like i had died and gone to heaven, i have been drinking gobs of soda water ever since, at least a litre a day on average, a lot more in summer ive always filled the bottles of water and prechilled them to almost 0° to absorb as much gas as possible and to turbocharge them when i get the gas up to blowoff i take the whole setup and shake the shit out of it while charging more gas into it to keep it at maximum pressure, shaking it helps to dissolve more gas into the water quickly. i love it at night time or first thing in the morning when ones mouth feels like the bottom of a cockys cage, a good swig of that cleans your mouth out like a scouring pad and it feels like you've just brushed your teeth. ive often thought about putting a large commercial keg bottle hooked up but never bothered because of it being too cumbersome. i never knew these small ones were available but now that you have a workable bottle with the adapter im in.
Such a good comment! Thanks for sharing.
Hey there! I just recently purchased a similar setup, however after i have everything setup, i go to open the CO2 cylinder and gas seems to be leaking out the head! Just wondering if i am doing something wrong or is this a manufacturer issue.
Cheers
5:27 there is a trick of knowing how much (liquified) gas is in the canister: bowl some water, poor it over the side of the tank and the level where it's cooler is the fill level of the tank.
The best way is just to use the scales.
It raises the question - where do I refill that big gas cylinder??? Welding shops nearby do not refill them, only exchange for same size full. It could be dirty, contaminated cylinder, containing led, etc. Also gas may be not very clean for food grade.
Check local brewing stores. I had one near me, and they only charged me less than $20 to refill a 5 lbs cylinder, and they refilled my own tank and returned it back to me, rather than having to exchange it!
At 3:39 : You said to check the 2 polyurethane "O" rings are placed correctly? I don't know what the right placement looks like. It may be help for you to stick a photo of how to do that check since it sounds important. Thanks for this video.
Yes this is the older model and the new hoses do not use this quick disconnect. The quick disconnect really was not that necessary and it meant customers had more o-rings to worry about so we got rid of this QD fitting all together.
Small tip: quality bottles hold the gas longer.
In my experience, the bottle shown loses bubbles 1-3 days; the Aarke bottles hold gas forever.
Just watched your other video on refilling soda steam bottle from your 2.6kg cylinder, and you say you have to invert your 2.6kg cylinder when filling as it does not have internal tube to pass through gas into the co2, this being the case when direct hooking up soda stream machine via your hose to 2.6kg cylinder as in this video do you have to have 2.6kg cylinder inverted all the time?
Good question but unfortunately no answer.
NO! You only want it inverted or with a riser tube, to get liquid CO2 out of the bottle, to fill smaller pressure bottles. For drinks, you want the gas CO2 from the top of the bottle. Filling liquid co2 into those drinking bottles will burst them from over pressure and it's definitely not healthy to try to drink that.
So to sum it all up, you connect the tank to the Sodastream with the hose... amiright?
If you watched the video, than you would know the answer. I know it's rocket science to watch a 30-40 second segment of a video.
@@t58beare I watched the whole drawn out video, and my summary could have easily saved you from having to do the same.
I created sodastream as a kid and I am so happy you found a way to stop the bullshit. Prices for some of this shit is ridiculous. The point is that it was supposed to be cheaper to make your own at home. Before someone asks - this franchise was stolen from me and dummy made everything cost more "so people will feel important"
They make great machines but they do charge quite a lot for fills. The good news is that it keeps us in business!
Hello, wonderful information. Question/Advice- I have the SodaStream Fizzi One Touch. I have used it for about 6 months. I too like the idea of having a bigger tank, so I went with a 20lb unit. I purchased the adapter hose and after connecting, the line pressurizes but when depressing the autofill button, no CO2 comes out of the stem. It works fine with the smaller canister, so I do not think it is clogged. So, any advice on where I am going wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
It's probably best that you take a video and send to us with your order number so we can better understand the issue. This usually makes it much easier to problemshoot.
Hi. Did you figure out the issue? I’m having the same problem.
Hi , I only get 230 grams into my fridge cooled sodastream cylinder , normally it's 430 grams on a 60lt , why doesn't it fill all the way ? Thanks. I bought the adapter from your website
Chill it in the freezer so its colder. Check that your donor cylinder is full
Once the sodastream unit has its small bottle removed, it weighs almost nothing and wants to follow wherever the stiff adapter hose sends it, which is annoying. I routed the hose in a gap between the countertop and a free standing stove, and lived with the unit sitting on an angle rather than take to my top with a hole saw. Eventually I reverted to filling the small cylinders as I'm not willing to butcher my counter top.
Yes the filling works but it's a bit of a pain.
I'm buying a different system, but I have heard that the tubing that connects from the larger tank to the carbonator leaves a funny taste and seems to leak pretty easily....
Looks great! Quick question: on the other video, where you were filling the Sodastream cylinder, you'd said it was best to turn the CO2 tank upside down. Is that not necessary when the tank is connected directly to the Sodastream machine? If not, would you mind helping me understand why? Truly don't understand how all this works. Many thanks.
When refilling a soda stream bottle, you need to turn the larger host bottle up side down (if your cylinder does not have a dip tube) to allow the liquid transfer of CO2. When using the freedom one hose, you want just high pressure gas going up to the Soda stream machine and hence why you do not need to turn it upside down.
@@KegLand thank you! Big help.
Even cheaper to open the bottle up and funnel in dry ice. Make sure you only add the weight of dry ice that the cylinder is rated for. Put the top back on let it sit until the dry ice evaporates back to co2. All you need is a weight scale and 3 dollars of dry ice and a funnel.
Yep. I've seen that video too 😂😂
@@nowonmetube This is ok but you tend to get issues with moisture getting into the cylinder. Dry ice almost always contains some degree of moisture. Even in the short period moisture in the air freezes to the surface of the dry ice. This moisture then gets into the cylinder. If you are using the cylinder with a sodastream machine it might be ok but if you are using with a regulator for beer dispensing or something else we would not recommend this technique.
@@KegLand I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the advice!
@@KegLand Are u sure?. Those little cylinders remain upright in the Sodastream so the moisture either settles on the bottom or if its water vapour it passes thru the Sodastream in gaseous form. Can understand the dry ice issue competes with your product, but you need to live in a big city anyway to have access to the ice in small quantities.
We are not concerned about losing a small amount of profit so this was not the reason for the previous statement. Having dry gas that doesn't contain water is really important and it's difficult to properly dry the cylinder once you get water into it unless you take the valve out which is a pain.
The issues is that water can freeze. If you draw a lot of gas at once your regulator can get sub zero and the cylinder itself can also get sub zero. If you have moisture in the gas it will freeze when this happens and frozen ice really is a fast way to damage your seals and o-rings.
If someone then uses the cylinder on other keg dispensing regulators the water also causes corrosion issues and prevents the regulator seat and seat cap working well.
We go to great lengths to prevent contamination in the cylinders and to remove a valve and knowingly then risk putting moisture into the cylinder just doesn't seem like a good idea to us.
are there any safety/leak concerns for leaving the valve open at all times when connected to the machine?
James, the gas being CO2 it is non-flammable, no risk of fire or explosion. What one needs to be aware of, the gas is under pressure, going into fittings on the Soda Stream are plastic, and only hand tight. So to avoid any leaks, as with any and all gas cylinders when not in use close the valve.
I bought one of these from a seller in the US and whenever I use it, I get the taste of oil or grease in my water. Would I have that issue with one I order from you? The seller claimed the issue was with the CO2 canister and not the hose, so I'm worried that if I spend the money to get this it's still not going to work properly.
You need to use food grade co2
@@barryrosolen6611 I am.
@@jasonbender2459 Thanks for the suggestion.
the person who was selling CO2 to me explained that there are no "food grade CO2". What is important is 1st. their equipment needs to be very clean 2nd. your equipment also need to be very clean. (dont use tanks that contain lead in them, usually paintball tanks do have lead) If all equipment is very clean, the CO2 safe to consume. If not, the CO2 is contaminated. Not saying it is the absolute truth, but that is what I understood from the person who sold me CO2, who seems very trustworthy.
In Hungary, a canister refill costs like $7 if you ted in trade-in an the empty one.
Thats good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Trying to buy your item here in the U.S. but can't find it anywhere.
More beer and Williams brewing are going to be your best bet.
Hi kegland. I've just purchased one of these kits from you. It seems to be working great but just curious as to what psi the pressure gauge should be reading when turned on. Mine is showing around 700psi. The needle dips ever so slightly down and back up when soda stream is in operation. Thank you.
It really comes down to the temperature of the cylinder. The high pressure gauge will go up and down depending on the temperature of the day. I would not use this to monitor a specific pressure but just as an indication that you have pressure.
@@KegLand thank you for the reply, that makes sense. I also have a high pitched whistling/squeel noise coming from I think the kegland 2.6kg co2 cylinder but only when carbonation is activated on the sodastream with each pump of button. I've checked for leaks between the hose and the co2 bottle but it doesn't appear to be that. It almost sounds like it's air escaping from somewhere creating the high pitched whistling noise. This sound didn't occur when I used the sodastream 60l cylinders. Should I be concerned? Or have you any fixes/recommendations for this with any similar raised issues? Cheers.
@@MrRexy04 If the gas is flowing out the valve at just the right speed you might get a harmonic motion on the RPV valve. If this bothers you the RPV can be removed from the cylinder valve with an alen key. If it doesnt bother you then just leave it as is.
I am confused as to why the CO2 tanks at your distributors here in W.A. are over $200 compared to the $67 on your website. Are we being punished? :)
@kegland thanks so much. do you recommend leaving the gas tank open all the time? or, turning off after each use and releasing the excess from the hose? some videos turn gas off; it looks like you leave yours open?
Once you have checked for leaks and if you are confident you have none then you can leave the tank open all the time.
Unfortunately I live in Hawaii where there is a "sin tax" on CO2 so it costs the same by weight regardless of size (about $40 per lb/453g)
Crazy dumb laws 🤦♂️
Just to point out, the 60 Liters Sodastream gas cans will only fill up about 45~48 Sodastream 1L bottles......not 60
Yeah we would agree with that. Sodastream seem to promote that they do 60L but we would also find this to be difficult in real life use too.
@@KegLand Why is this? They're already so expensive here in South Africa.
I'm sure they're doing it on purpose to rip us off even further.
Where can I get this stuff in Cape Town?
@@BubblesTheCat1 If you contact your local home brew distributor and ask them to contact us we can appoint them as a distributor if you like.
Also if you can buy dry ice GRANULES OR CRUSH REFILL the co2 bottle weigh it let it warm room temp >videos in youtube some where
@ronnie doorzon Would agree. I don't think Sodastream have correct usage recommendations regarding consumption. I think they must base the consumption on very lightly carbonated water. The only issue with dry is this method always gets gets moisture from the air into the bottle. This h20 when it goes through the sodastream machine can freeze and if frozen water gets into some parts of the sodastream machine it can damage the machine.
I would be interested in buying this but have seen that there are different grades of CO2. I'm in Jakarta and most of the CO2 available is for welding, which I assume is not safe for consumption?
CO2 are all the same. The different is the tank. Food grade tank has glass interior (which should be sanitized during refill). Paintball/welding tank don't.
Is that hose really rated for 300 bar? That's more than most gas cylinders, especially here in Australia.
Yup.
Will this adapter kit work for soda stream ART edition. It takes pink tankes.? Thank you for the information
We have some new fittings that will work with the new quick disconnect "tera" valves. Please wait for these to be released.
Great video! Well done! Very helpful info. Thanks!
When you press 'Fizz'... stop before the overfill squawk.
Then Wait at least 30 seconds before doing another Fizz button.
Then Wait another 30 seconds for the third Fizz.
And finally - Wait 10 to 15 seconds and release the bottle.
This gives the CO2 time to dissolve into the water.
When press, press, press and Release in a few seconds... there is not sufficient time for the CO2 to dissolve in water.
Everyone who does the 'wait' between the three Fizz will use LESS CO2 and have Very Fizzy water, wine, tequila, vodka (anything other than water - only fill bottle to the 25 to 33% amount/volume of the SodaStream Bottle - do not fill to the WATER Line with wine or alcohols). :)
2023 they have the quick release adapters now
Yes we have some new fittings to deal with the new Sodastream Tera valves.
Hello. So, if I buy a tank and a refill hose adapter or just use the big tank as my main soda stream tank, I don’t need a regulator/gauge set. Right? I don’t think I want the big tank sitting on my kitchen counter as I have limited space. I’d rather refill the smaller tanks myself. Make sense? Thanks
Yes that's correct you won't need a regulator
I have similar line on order, I like that the SodaStream bottles have a wide neck opening for adding ice, just wondering how many times a narrow neck soda bottle can be refilled using an adapter before it will burst??
Normal PCO1881 necks are quite strong and I think they would probably last 100 uses or more.
Do you guys still sell all the bits for this kit? - Found your link :-)
How do I get this the USA. I imagine getting that tank to the us will cost a fortune
It's best to go to www.morebeer.com. or www.williamsbrewing.com. These guys distribute our gear in USA.
Hi there @kegland - question: I've got one of your sodastream to external CO2 bottles adapters. It works great BUT.... after I dispense gas from the bottle via the sodastream it keeps leaking gas through the nozzle of the soda stream unit (you can tell because there are little bubbles of gas still emerging into the bottle of water you just fizzed even though you are no longer depressing the bottom on top). Tried a new sodastream unit (different model) - same problem. You can stop this by turning off the as bottle itself but that's a pain everytime you want to gas something. Any thoughts????
if you get a CO2 ball valve at the bottle (for your sanity's sake dont google CO2 ball cock, its proper name, like i just did lmao) - at least shutting off the gas would be a 90 degree lever turn instead of many turns?
I have this problem too, and I realised it is because the valve that connects to the soda machine is leaking, not the machine itself. What did you do about this in the end? I got mine from aliexpress and I guess it's just a faulty valve.
You can do it even easier and cheaper by simply unscrewing the top of the empty bottle that the machines come with, and refilling it with 400 grams of dry ice. Once it warms up and reaches room temperature, the bottle is pressurized and ready to use and it only costs a few dollars.
Vulgarr the Viking
Where on earth (or in the States) do you find someone who SELLS granular dried ice??
@@Mo_Ketchups They have it at my grocery store. Even if it's in block form... hit it lightly with a hammer and it easily breaks into tiny pieces.
This allows you to connect to any size CO2 tank, which can go to upwards of 20lb tanks (or roughly 23 times the CO2 amount in the original canister), and you can simply bring it to any gas charging place to refill it for $10-15. Compare that to probably 25-30lbs of dry ice when you factor in the loss due to sublimation, time lost due to 23 refills, and the eventual damage to the top/o-ring from all of those refills.
Just put it in the blender like i do
Chill the water before carbonating it? Didn't know that...
CO2 dissolves far more readily into a cold solution
When I started using my 2.6l tank to fill the smaller tanks I had to take the RPV out of the valve with an allen key. I'm about to start using the bigger tank with this hose. Do I need to put the RPV back into the cylinder valve first?
Update - it didn't blow up.
The RPV is to prevent contamination getting in the cylinder so you should try to keep it in the cylinder valve as much as possible.
Hi, I am looking for a solution so that I can place the gas bottle 8m away from the SodaStream stack. Do you have an Idea for a hose extension?
You could drill a hole big enough to fit the part you screw into the sodastream machine ;).
I'm correction I'm just going to buy it as soon as possible I already have this model of soda streamer I was going to buy the programmable one I'm just going to buy the CO2 from you guys now on
Thanks for your support. We appreciate it.
Are the connections metric or Imperial? Want to be sure it is compatible with our CO2 tanks (U.S.).
We use different threads in Australia. If you are purchasing this in America go to one of our American distributors that will have the correct thread type.
KegLand has two main distributors in America. www.morebeer.com and www.williamsbrwing.com
What does it mean if after hooking all this up, the top back of the SodaStream is venting excess gas and some liquid? How do I fix that?
There's a round washer-size seal that goes into the recess where the original cylinder or the new adapter screws in. If your adapter fitting is tight, check to see if that seal is missing or damaged.
Does anybody know if the connection on a co2 is universal on the whole world? I am new to this and don't know anything about co2 tanks and I need an adapter what is fitting on co2 tanks in the Netherlands.
It's not universal.. CGA320 connector is common in USA, CAN, Brazil, Colombia, Philippines. W21.8-14(DIN 477) connector is used in Compatible With JIS M22-14, Common in KOR, JP, UK, Germany, France, Poland, Norway, Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine, South Africa, Sweden, Chile, Czech Republic, Singapore. Dunno about Australia. Ali Express listings have the info. I use this, works a treat.

Hi Keg, I have discovered a bit of mixed messaging online regarding liquid vs vapour withdrawal cylinders. I understand it's a tube vs no tube situation however I want to double check which type of cylinder is required for the setup in this video. Cheers
A liquid withdrawl cylinder is better however if you do not have a liquid withdraw cylinder then you need to invert the cylinder
@@KegLand Cheers. And are your 6kg cylinders are liquid withdrawal?
@@Xboxavatar49 None of the kegland cylinders are liquid withdrawal so you will need to invert the cylinder.
@@KegLand No worries, however I have seen you have replied to other people in the comments saying the contrary;

When using the freedom one hose, you want just high pressure gas going up to the Soda stream machine and hence why you do not need to turn it upside down. - Kegland"
So does the sodasteam machine work off liquid or gas?
@@Xboxavatar49 The sodastream machines are designed to work of gas from the headspace of the cylinder not draw liquid directly.
What about a filter for the gas cylinder so you don't get rust and debris in your water
Yes that is a fair point. We do put filters into our regulators but I will talk to the other guys in the office about doing this.
equal ? like one has 600 pounds and the other 2000 pound you will burst your soda stream seals 2+2=5
When I get around to it I'm buying one of these I'm using it to make G fuel pop and I can save money on co2
Yes they are awesome. We sell heaps of these so I am sure you will enjoy using it.
Ive bought one of these, But after one use the Adapter is leaking air everytime I turn of the Cylindar, So far I cannot see how to fix it?
Where abouts do you have a leak from. Have you tried contacting our customer service team? I am quite sure they will be able to assist but we need more information about where you are getting the leak from.
Hi. I’ve installed the piping system and it seems to have blown up my soda stream. Gas flows through the fillings tube whenever a bottle is in place and when the button is depressed to release gas into the bottle it seems to come out an over flow.
Is there a max pressure settling for soda stream?
No sodastreams are designed to take the full cylinder pressure without any regulator.
If you have something coming out of the overflow your bottles of water are probably overfilled or hose is not correctly fitted to the back of the machine.
Happy 420 Kee, cheers
Thanks Lisa!
I've been thinking about getting a sodastream but it looks like they have two different types of gas bottles now. Does this only work with the ones that use the older screw in connector?
We have FreedomOne hoses for both models :)
im looking for the same version with a gauge like this but only then in the EU. where can i get it?
i can only find versions without the pressure gauge and all gauges that fit on EU Co2 cilinders are for lower pressure up to 150PSI/10bar
It's best if you contact the guys at www.kegland.cn We do not hold the EU ones in Australia
@@KegLand But the pressure gauge is pretty useless apart from helping to detect leaks, isn't it?
@@austrobok2958 It's not good at determining the location of the leak but its an easy way to find out that you have a leak. For instance if you turn of the cylinder handle you should notice the hose and fittings should hold pressure overnight. If you come back the next day and see the pressure drop you know you have an issue.
Mmh, in Germany a refill is about 5,99 €
Yeah, that’s cheap. Just across the border here in the Netherlands it’s 13€
There's official SodaStream ones that refill at about 10€, but also third-party bottles that refill for around 5€ here in Finland.
It's all standard fittings and standard pressure-rated bottles, so buying the 'premium' SodaStream bottles is really not that important.
In France is 12€ for non sodastream mark and for official mark you need to have already 1Gaz and trade for other and you pay 14€ :/
In Hungary it is 10Euro
It depends on your usage. If you carbonate only a bottle a day, it would take forever to get your money back. We are using much more, so i got a 10L/6KG bottle for 85€ (with 10 years TÜV) and this high pressure connector for around 40€ shipped from china. Swaps of the small bottles are 8€ around here, so when the 10L CO2 is empty, i am break even. Refills are around 20€, so in the long run, I pay way less.
just checked with the recommended spots to purchase in usa, morebeer and williams. i checked with several other stores on the kegland ditro map also. all said they dont carry this adapter hose. anyone here have recommendations for where to buy something compatible, for usa use?
I have a regulator connected to a CO2 tank, and the regulator side to a Soda Stream machine. The pressure is very weak and won't carbonate. I can only increase regulator pressure on the regulator to 45-50 before the safety relief values opens. What could I be doing wrong?
1. Perhaps the hose is not screwed all the way into the tank.
2. Something is blocking the hose. Remove the hose and confirm you can blow air through the hose with your mouth.
Everything is brand new, right and clear. I guessing soda stream needs full pressure so work.
@@jlimato Yes that is correct. Sodastream units are designed to take the full cylinder pressure (500-2500psi) into the inlet.
@@KegLand thank you.
So I purchased one of these do you think I would be able to fill up my co2 tank for paint ball with it
I am not sure of what thread your paintball cylinder has but definitely if the thread is compatible this will work.
It’s a tippman co2 tank
@@daquannnorman7586 I am sorry but I have not used the Tippman tanks before so I can't comment on compatability of this one.
Do we need to close the faucet when not using the Sodastream or we keep it open all the time?
First check for leaks. If you confirm you have connected the hose correctly and you haveno leaks then it's fine to just leave the faucet on all the time.
Are these hoses and connectors compatible with sodastream machines and co2 tanks in ie US and EU?
You need to purchase from one of our distributors in US and EU as we sell different design hoses for distribution in each respective area.
Hey, I want to use this method with a nitrogen bottle, is that possible?
Yes it's possible but we have not done testing on it.
Wonder if I could just use a big co2 welding cylinder lol. Think those are only about $70 to fill (the tanks are pretty pricey though) but one fill would last for years and years I bet.
You can they have the same fittings you would want to get the food grade cylinders i think you can hire them for about $200 a year with a free refill in that year in australia
Just done the maths you can get a g size food grade gas bottle (31kg)from BOC for $179 aud a year, using sodastreams maths 400 grams = 60 litres of soda water the 31kg will get you 5,580 litres
In Sweden they cost about $3-5 to exchange!
Here in Australia we require ownership of your first born....
and funny thing is...YOU are watching all the refills vids in here...WHY? working for sodastream much?
@@RCREVIEWS101 I work in a sawmill and are not considered "a high paid worker" yet i don't care if i pay $5 or $10 for a exchange of my tube! A new and full tube cost about $20 in Sweden. I have 4 of them.
That's really quite a bit cheaper than anywhere else in the world that I have heard of.
is it possible to have a longer hose of about 5 meters? I would like to put the gas tank in a scullery and my soya stream in the kitchen. Distance + -5 meters
@@PaulPaid that is a low pressure hose. It will burst with the high pressure from a co2 tank.
@@grahambarnard8241 Thank you. Would this be more suitable? www.amazon.com/LDR-516-B3810-Braided-Tubing/dp/B004CR4OQI/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2X3AWQZYBL5UT&dchild=1&keywords=soda+fountain+hose&qid=1606313516&sprefix=soda+fountain+hose%2Clawngarden%2C195&sr=8-1
I bought this adapter maybe 4 months back and have been through 3 sodastream spirits i keep getting this issue where theres no resistance when you push the button down even though there is pressure in the hose any ideas whats going on?
upon testing it appears to be the adapter/hose standard sodastream cylinders still work
as long as i have a food safe tank would it be ok to refill at a sporting goods store?
No bc most likely the sporting goods store isn’t using a food grade tank or gas supplier
Okay, "finger tight" isn't gonna cut it. You DO need to tighten it with pliers or wrench to the soda machine so it's absolutley snug. I did it "finger tight". The hose eventually loosened, came off with gas blowing through it, hit me in the mouth and eye and I had a fat, cut lip and a black eye for a week. DO TIGHTEN THESE THINGS.
Hi HDB, There are sodastreams out there that have a plastic housing. Overtightening can lead to cracks and breakages of the entire unit. Going hand tight, and maybe a slight quarter turn with a spanner.
Sorry to hear about your mishap! Hope you are okay :)
@@oliverpermezel3174 Mine has a plastic housing. Still needs to be tightened down properly.
Hi, I need to connect a Sodastream C02 bottle to a female connector that normally accepts 12gram screw type mini bottles, will this work ?
It comes down to what threads you use. It's hard to say if this will be suitable or not.
what are the different types of threads, i can check
I ACTUALLY HAVE A 20L STAINLESS KEG AND CO2 CANISTER OF EQUAL SIZE OR 9oz refillable CO2 CANISTER TO MAKE A LARGE SCALE SELTZER BOTTLE FOR MY BOOZE HOBBY! I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
Do you remove the internal valve with the allen key for this like you do the sodastream adaptor refill unit?
No this should not be necessary.
Do you not realize that if you dont have the quick release, you can just attach the thing after you've already threaded it through the counter?
Yes this is possible but the hole you need to drill in the bench is larger. The quick release and hose only requires a small hole but if we did not do this you would have to make a hole that is double the size.
It's probably fair to say that the quick release can also add another set of o-rings to the unit which you have to maintain. So personally i think they could be removed and this might even be better to have the hoses setup this way. I mean not that many of our customers seem to run the hose through bench top.
Is the gastank connection for co2 international universal? I live in the Netherlands....
Lien Bijs go to co2supermarket.cu.uk. I think they ship to EU. www.co2supermarket.co.uk/sodastream-connection-hose-p532.html
Hello, does anyone know what my machine is leaking gas from the top that inserts into the water bottle? I've ordered 2 of these things already.. they both worked for 2 days then they leak from the very tip. It seams as if the part that connects to the soda machine has a spring type of valve pin and that pin keeps getting stuck and doesn't retract.. any recommendation would be appreciated, thank you!
If this is happening on a regular basis then you might want to look at the source of gas. If you have rust in the gas cylinder or other contamiination this is the most likely cause as this type of contamination gets stuck into the pin. You can take apare the valve and clean this out fairly easily but if you cylinder is dirty inside the issue will keep happening.
@@KegLand thank you for the reply! I will try to clean out the spring/retractable pin part. Also, the cylinder I have was given to me by my neighbor who owned it for years it came with the gas filled inside.. so that's very likely the situation! Old, dirty, tank 😁 thank again! 🍻✌️😎
Do you ship to the U.S.?
be similar in usa 🕺🐨👈💭
@ronnie doorzon The hell is dry ice granulate and what does it have to do with SodaStream?
More beer and Williams Brewing will be your best bet
Thanks
No worries!
Dear Keg
From where can i refill the cylinder..?
come to www.kegland.com.au and see our refill locations on the website.
Is it a simple B. B. Q gas cylinder like normal LPG for cooking or Co2 is different sort of gas
Definitely different. I don't think you should consume propane gas....unless you want to poison yourself.
LPG is flammable CO2 isn't flammable CO2 is the same stuff in the CO2 fire extinguishers CO2 carbon dioxide is different gas to LPG liquid petroleum gas
Do you need to close the cylinder when not in use ?
You should check for leaks first. IF you pass that test then you can leave it turned on.
Hi, do you know where can I fill thousands of these cylinders, any suggestion? Thanks
Depending on what country you are in, contact companies such as Linde or BOC. They are the leaders in this field with great prices. They could supply you with thousands of these cylinders, including refilling, without a problem.
I would contact a CO2 filling factory.
does it work in freedom or do I have to be a lizard of oz?
We have other new designs that work in freedom so these are available separately.
This looks great, but in researching it, some people say the pressure from the 5lb tanks blows out the seals in the soda stream.
That doesnt sound correct to me. The pressure in the 5lb tanks is the same as the smaller sodastream cylinders. Both have the same working pressure. Where are they blowing out the seal in the sodastream cylinder?
@@KegLand the adapters are rated for 4500psi and the tanks work at around 3000psi
Great vid! Does anyone know if the co2 tanks adapters are standard across both Aus and NZ? Want to buy the hose but makes more sense to get the tank here in NZ. Cheers
I would double check with a local supplier in NZ. Gas bottles here use a type 30 thread.
So with these tanks you can leave them open when it in use ?
Yes check for leaks when you first connect the hose and once you have done that then you can leave it open all the time.
Does the larger C02 tanks need to have a siphon tube in side the tank
It's not about size. some large tanks have them and some don't. It will normally be marked on the outside of the tank indicating if the tube is connected to the valve or not. Some companies use a band or different paint job to indicate this too.
Mate, genius, cheers.
thanks
No idea what I did wrong but I followed instructions and when I turn valve on big leak out where the hose attaches 🤷
Sounds a bit strange. Can you please take some photos and video putting it together and then email to us so we can better unerstand. I am sure we will be able to work it out fairly quickly.
@@KegLand what's your email? I called but was told it was a loose O ring. I tightened enough at the cylinder to not feel any leak but at the soda stream connection it still seems to leak gass. So much you can see it shoot out the back. It's basically a brand new soda stream jet model. I used the original CO2 tank so how can the O ring be bad?
@@jss2889 you can email us at beer@kegland.com.au
So to be clear, if I buy a standard c02 tank from a supplier in US, will this adapter fit/work?
In Australia we use different thread type. With that said our office in China makes other units specifically for the China office so if you purchase from one of our American distributors they will have hopefully ordered the correct one for your local cylinder thread types.
Hi
Where I can find this setup in Singapore?
