In this episode of FOOD ON A BOAT, Clark talks about the DIY, home-built water carbonation system he built for $150. This gives us a virtually unlimited supply of seltzer water while living aboard our boat when used in combination with our watermaker. We make one or two 2-liter bottles of flavored seltzer per week, and this 10-lb CO2 tank will easily last us 10 years without a refill! It attaches to any standard soda bottle. This carbonator could also be used to carbonate homemade beer or soda pop, or to make sparkling wine. It's much cheaper, more durable, and longer-lasting than a SodaStream. Several other boaters have asked us to explain and review our system, so here it is!
Below is a list of the parts needed to build this system yourself, and our favorite source for flavorings. If you purchase using the links below, you'll get the equipment quickly and easily through Amazon, and we sometimes earn a few bucks. (Many of these parts can be acquired for less money from eBay, or your local AirGas or other gas supply store).
If you have questions or comments, please leave them below. We try to answer all of them!
CARBONATION SYSTEM PARTS (Total $150-$175)

FLAVORINGS ($1-$10 each) - These are much stronger than regular extracts. Use 1 drop per glass of seltzer (we use a chopstick and stir it in). A 1-oz bottle will last you a LONG time (we have had this system for 2 years and have yet to empty one bottle of flavoring). You can also buy variety packs with 1 dram of liquid each (1/16 the size). You can add sugar or other sweeteners, but we prefer flavored seltzer only. These flavors are also great for yogurt, smoothies, protein shakes, baking, and other foods. Just make sure you purchase oil-free ones if you plan to use them in seltzer water.
