Would it be best practice to purge air out of the conduits and ball valves? In refrigeration it's critical not to have any contamination. But I don't know about CO2 sodastream.

Thanks for the vid; this is the one with the best advice, though not perfect. The real trick is to just crack the supply side valve on the "kit." But, about that black plastic fitting for the SodaStream tank: you have to turn it counterclockwise to back out the pin that depresses the valve on the SodaStream tank. Once the carbonator (SodaStream tank) is fitted up nice and snug (it's plastic, don't overtorque) you have to turn the knob very gently until you make contact with the valve on the carbonator tank, and then screw it in just a half turn; again, just to crack the valve. The key to success here is "Easy Does it."

Being doing this for a few years and for you home fillers if you put the mt soda stream bottle in the freezer first, to pre cool before filling, you might have to do this a couple of times to fill the cartridge. Remember a newly filled 20 lb gas bottle puts in a lot more gas then a bottle that is down to the last few pounds of gas. Filling will takes more tries as the supply gets depleted, literally you might only get 20 or 30 grams each try at the end of a bottle? My experience says mt soda stream bottle is about 680 grams and you are putting in roughly 410 grams of gas to fill the bottle, for a total weight of 1090 grams. For clarity i usually take 3 to 4 fills to top off an mt soda stream bottle and you are not burning a lot of gas trying to chill the bottle as you are filling up. I can usually get about 16, 410 gram fills out of a new 20 lb bottle.

I plan to purchase a New Aluminum 20 lb CO2 Tank CGA320 with SIPHON TUBE. Local sources to fill the tank are quoting $25 to $30 per refill. How many soda stream canisters will one fill of the 20lb tank fill?
@robbygrossman4694

About 10 large tanks (20 lbs = 320 oz. 320/33=9.7). As a practical matter though, as your donor tank gets low, the refills take less and less air. So it'll probably be more like 6 full refills and then another 8-10 partial refills. Double that if you are using the small tanks.

There are some very helpful comments here, especially for those of us who do not have a siphon-tube tank. My concern is this: My non-siphon tube 20 LB tank is a bit heavy and risky to invert without some kind of a special stand. Would I be able to decline my 20 LB donor tank at 45 degrees until 75% of the liquid CO2 has been consumed, and then invert 180 degrees for the remaining 25% (at a much reduced weight)?

Yes, as long as the liquid CO2 is going into the soda stream tank, it will be OK.

Hey there, so the small Sodastream tank can hold as much pressure as the large tank. Do you know what pressure the large tank can hold when totally full?

It looks like that black wheel (in your case) is used to close or open valve on soda cylinder. you open cylinder valve to fill co2, and close when cylinder is full so you can close cylinder valve and depress co2 in line. than you unscrew cylinder

I have the same issues as a few others. The tank should increase in weight about 14.5oz (net weight). After testing I get only an increase of 5oz using a 20lb tank. My tank doesn't have a sifon, could that be the issue?

Turn your from tank upside down so the liquid CO2 comes out, that's what the syphon tube does (fills from the bottom of your tank).

Well, without the dip tube reaching down to the bottom, thus getting you the liquid, you just need to turn your tank upside down to get liquid co2 out. I'd only try it with a 20 lb tank or smaller. Same work around if you have a syphon, but you don't want liquid co2 just gas; flip tank upside down to get gas from syphon tubed cylinder.

Hi, I am using a 10kg bottle with siphon tube to fill a sodastream cylinder but I can max up to 10 cylinders to fill up properly with 10 more but with less gas. I understand that about 30% of the mass has to stay in the bottle because it is gas but I thought I would be able to fill more than 10 as needed. Is there any solution for filling more properly filled cylinders, I am not interested in partially full cylinders. Some pump, manual or electric, some advice, can I refill a half full bottle, .. Thanks in advance

I am about to order a unit and get a siphon type tank. What I would try to get a more complete fill is: (1) Make sure all residual gas is emptied from the receiving cylinder before filling. That can be accomplished by venting through the second valve after the tank is installed. (2) Freeze the receiving cylinder as others have suggested. This will condense gas in the cylinder. (3) when you fill, you want to get the CO2 liquid to fill the device before the actual filling happens. I will do that by using the second valve to let the gas escape until the liquid comes out and then shutting it off which will start the filling of the tank. That way you don't inject the gas in the line and device into the tank which prevents filling completely. But then again - I need to test this myself.

The new sodastream tanks have a large flat inner pin that apparently makes refilling more tricky, do you have any solution to that problem? Is there a way to swap the sodastream valve to one more amenable to refilling in this manner, or is there some practical work around?

I had the same problem. I could fill the sodastream tank, but as soon as I disconnected it, it expelled all the pressurized CO2 back out through the valve at the top. Which I thought was impossible, but I wonder if SodaStream changed the valves to make it difficult or impossible to refill them at home.

Do not buy this system or systems that are similar. CO2 is in a liquid form, and turns to a gaseous state under pressure based on temperature. The liquid CO2 must be measured by weight. Overfilling the small cylinders so that they have more liquid weight than they are designed to have can have dangerous consequences. The valves on the small sodastream cylinder are equipped with a small over pressure relieve valve that is designed to rupture at 3000psi, the hydrostatic qualification value for these small aluminum cylinders which are rated to only 1800psi. If there is insufficient head volume, IE if you completely filled the cylinder with liquid, then the overpressure valve should trigger causing and immediate and complete loss of gas/liquid. This event can cause injury or even death as CO2. This is a stupid product design and shouldn't be used by anyone for that reason but also because Sodastream has a DOT special permit restricting the filling of their cylinders. Doing so is a direct violation of federal law. For those people looking to save money on CO2 it is far better to buy a CO2 cylinder equipped with a CGA-320 valve and an adapter with a hose to attach to the sodastream machine itself. This will mean you have 2.5lb or larger cylinder so it isnt as compact but you won't have to have it filled as often and you avoid the dangerous and illegal act of trying to refill a sodastream branded cylinder with their proprietary valve.
