Good info but a couple of things. Never put your ear against a high pressure system to check for leaks. Yiu could blow your ear drum out if there was a burst escaping. Use soapy water. You will see bubbles if there is a leak. Please dont tighten the hose as hard as you can. You will crushed the seal and create leaks.

Quick tip- Be sure to use the "spit test" to check for leaks! Maybe obvious to some, but put a bit of soapy water on the connections and let it sit for a bit. If you see bubbles starting form you know you have a leak and where it's located. Same way you check your bike inner tube, among other things, for slow leaks.

15$ for a refill? that's insane! Over here in Germany you have to pay a deposit if you get a new 60L tank (I think i payed 25€ (30$) to always have a spare tank if one is empty). After that you can swap tanks in almost any grocery or drug store for 4-8€. Price differs if you get a original sodastream refill or get a third-party refill (same tank with new labeling). E.g. in my town the Stadtwerke (municipal utilities) sell filled tanks (in exchange for empty ones) for about 4.50€ (approx. 5.20$). When I'm in the US I always get San Pellegrino or Perrier.

Also you could also fuzz your juices or soda and not have to worry because you can wash the cap afterward something you cant do with sodastream.

Fizz Giz uses a tank, small gun and hose, proprietary cap valves, ANY 1 liter soda bottles. Can carbonate fruit juices, flat growler beer, flat soda pop. With Soda Stream, last 1/3 of each bottle would go flat wasting gas. I love the Fizz Giz honestly. THANKS AGAIN! I'm definitely going to buy a 5 lb tank so I don't have to fill paintball tank with dry ice. Pretty sure Fizz Giz will connect directly to the CGA 320 on the 5 lb tank.

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. 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). :)

I've done this for years now, couple tips. I have bought mostly less expensive hoses over the years and they all so far have failed after a year or two. Shut the tank valve and drain the hose after use. Makes it kinda of a pain but worth it. However if the hoses keep failing, puts a dent into the actual savings. Also tried at one point to use a regulator, but did not carbonate as well. Full force (no regulator) works best and I have read is fine to do.

You can get bigger CO2 tanks from a welding place, you pick whatever size you like. They are still food grade. You have to buy the first tank, after that you exchange them. I buy the 20 lb size, for about $30 -- price has gone up lately. I figure it about 1/10 the cost as those baby sodastream canister. They last about a year. Payback from buying the first tank and hose with special proprietary sodastream thread -- made in China, possibly illegal -- was about six months. And much less hassle dealing with their stupid canisters.

What I do know is that Soda Stream machines have a pressure relief valve, making it impossible to overpressurize a water bottle. Soda Stream devices are commonplace in Europe (and have been for decades) and there’s no epidemic of injury with them. The few cases I’ve heard of involved water bottles that had been damaged, which is a danger unrelated to the cylinder pressure, since the damaged water bottles exploded at pressures well below the carbonation pressure. (Substantial pressure is needed to carbonate the water, regardless of whether the gas is generated by a chemical reaction or drawn from a cylinder.)

There are several dangers you need to be aware of if you do this. First, not all CO2 is food grade. Much of it is welding grade. You can slowly poison yourself with residual oils and gas contaminants in the tank if you use a non-food grade tank/CO2 supplier. Second, all air tanks need to hydrostatic testing every 5 years to make sure they are safe for use. Hydrostatic testing costs between $25 and $100, and if you neglect to do it you can end up with a CO2 tank that is an explosion hazard. The soda stream bottles are intentionally underfilled and overbuilt to make them particularly safe and are tested regularly when refilled with food-grade CO2. Not saying you can't do this safely --- you can. Just be certain you treat this like you are going to eat what's in the tank, regular, and lines, because you are, and have the tank hydrostatically tested regularly like it was a bomb that you need to keep from going off, because it is.

@@epochearth8966 Thanks for your comment. I bought mine and washed it like you just suggested and it has been working well. I do keep the main valve of my 5 lb tank closed while not using it. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue to work well for enough time to pay itself.

@@heychongo1988 Actually, I got the hose, washed it with soap, and started using it after it dried. It’s been a bit over a month and everything is working fine, with no taste issues. But I haven’t messed with anything. I haven’t even changed my 5 lb tank yet. I hope I don’t develop any issues in the future. Keeping my fingers crossed, but so far so good.

I did this with smaller tanks commonly used for paintball... I paid $25 for the hose $16 for the adapter (that's $40... and the hose broke in a few months...) and $40 for the tank... BUT I couldn't find anyone willing to fill the tank since... so I had to sand it off and paint it solid color to get the paintball store to fill it... all said and done I was into this just as much as you've listed here and it's not reliable! I wonder if I can get the bigger tank filled easier...

This was my exact struggle. The paintball world is moving to high pressure air and away from Co2. And you can get a 5lb Co2 tank switched at any praxair location. I'm sure there some (your location) stores for how home brew happy the city is.

i wonder if this would work with the Twenty39 Qarbo - Sparkling Water Maker and Fruit Infuser - Premium Carbonation Machine which is a machine i am contemplating because i can add my flavoring directly to the container before the carbonation my other option is the sparkel system Spärkel Beverage System (Black) - Sparkling Water and Soda Maker - A New Way of Sparkling - Use Fresh & Natural Ingredients - No CO2 Tank Needed would you know?what would be your opinion if you don't mind my asking, thank you in advance

I’ve read that using these adapter lines make the water taste bad?

Is there a reason I can't just crush up five pounds of dry ice ,to refill the five pound tank?
