My wife and I go through almost five gallons of seltzer water a week during the summer. Refilling the keg gets to be a PITA. There've been threads on HBT about ways to get it on demand, but some of the systems are more complex and costly. My idea was to keep it simple. Got around to setting it up today. It may be too optimistic to post now, but nothings leaking, so I'm happy.
Total cost around $50 (not including keg):
Float Valve
Filter
Ice Maker Kit
Check Valve
As previously, I filled the keg and shook to carb it up, so I'm getting seltzer from the tap. The valve on the ice maker kit is set low, so it should fill at a slow rate after the keg gets low enough to open the float valve. So, the question is, will the daily gallon or less of fresh water that dilutes the existing seltzer water, be too much to maintain a good level of carbonation?
Wish me luck!
