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). :)

That's a good tip!

I get my small bottles filled for $10 with exchange and the larger cylinders can be purchased but they have a lifespan. A date is stamped , so they only last so many years and you have to buy a new one. Not only that, you can't get all the gas out because the pressure drops and you are left with about 25% or so unusable. I did the math and the small bottles might be slightly more expensive but they don't expire. If you factor in the cost of the larger cylinders they end up being more expensive overall. In the small cylinders you can get most of the gas out and I weighed mine full and empty and I am getting most of the gas out. So I scrapped the idea and just have 3 small bottles and refill them all at once every few months. I don't have to buy the adapter hose and find a place to hide a large cylinder in my kitchen and drill holes to route the tubing to my soda stream.

Hi Jeff. That's not accurate. Where we are located the larger cylinders are a massive savings. The cylinders have to be purchased and are already full on the first go, but there after, if you for some reason or another want keep the cylinder and have it refilled after you empty it you can do so for 10 years from the test stamp date on an AS2030 cylinder with an RPV installed in the valve. ALL the filled gas can be expelled from the cylinder. If your draft system or carbonation unit is working properly, the entire weight of the gas will be dispensed. So with our cylinder, the sizes are 0.9 2.6 and 6 kilo. These are the weights of the gas itself that the cylinder can hold inside. Beyond this, most customer will simply just swap their empty cylinder for a full one at any of these locations: www.kegking.com.au/retailers/ This way they only pay the fill price, currently $29 AUD for 2.6kilo, and as long as they have a cylinder to drop off, they'll be able swap for a full cylinder far beyond the 10 years of life of the original cylinder.

Jeff, thanx for sharing that! I've been refilling the stock Sodastream bottle for a few years now, no problems. Just last week (July ) I took it in and they said it's better to CHILL the bottle before refilling? What is the truth about that? Actually one guy at the store said it doesn't matter, but another employee insisted I leave the bottle with them to refrigerate then fill. Of course I FORGOT to pick it up and now I want to fix a drink and NO SODA! Sometimes it seems that Murphy's Law is the ONLY law that applies to me! :P

Is anyone using this hose with a regulator? I'm not sure I like the idea of trusting 1000psi in a hose. If the hose developed a problem things could get rather exciting.

Cool option. Do you think you could make a way to do this with a quick disconnect or normal gas line from a manifold on a kegerator? I have always wanted soda water but never want to lose a tap of beer. But that's where my gas bottle is so wonder if you guys have a way to make it part of the manifold?

@Keg-King

In the meantime, these are a good solution and like you said, losing a beer tap to soda water is like trading beer for water. Perhaps something can be done!

What type of hose fittings are the line between? I want to replace mine to be about 20 feet away in a cupboard.

Do you happen to know what is the highest Volume of Carbon Dioxide you can get from a soda stream or how you can estimate it or even test it for cheap.

Do you sell this on amazon?Thanks!

I have an ART sodastream and have run into an issue where every time I 'lock' the hose adapter in and turn on my CO2 tank, the valve is always full open. If I half-unlock it it works as expected. Has anyone run into something similar?

It can be used with a dip tube cylinder?

Great video! I got a a co2 connector and have a similar setup to what you have in the video. It came with two washers, but I think one is a backup. Is there typically a washer for the quick connect/sodastream side or is it just for the cylinder connection?

@Keg-King

There is a nylon regulator washer on the cylinder side. On the carbonation system side it's just a push in fitting shaped to the new design on top of the 390g cylinders.

Wish we could but you'll need a hose with US variety threading for the gas cylinders over there. CGA320. Ours are different.

Does this work with the new Sodastream E-Terra? I bought a different brand conversion kit and when I connect it to the E-Terra the gas continually flows without pushing any buttons. the unit works fine with the Sodastream Co2 canister/tank.

Thanks a million, My 20 pound cylinder Co2 at a professional medical gas and oxygen provider, hooked up, but does not carbonate only slightly 1/5, regardless of how many times and water temperature, even got another sodastrem Terra ,and nothing, tank went through quality and security control Any Suggestions, will appreciate lots of health good weekend

I don't think it is the tank or gas pressure, it is the soda stream. Currently my stopped working properly. I get lots of gas bubbling into the water but none of it stays in. It was working good a few weeks ago. I think one of the gaskets is not sealing and all the CO2 is going to the atmosphere. There is a gasket that the water bottle fits around and another yellow gasket on the cylinder side. They do sell an older soda stream and you have to screw your water bottle onto it and there is a rubber seat on the top and I think this makes a better seal than the quick slide on bottle that makes the seal on the sides of the bottle. I think that is my problem because I do feel some gas blowing at my water bottle end.
