I had first used one of the boxes to house the Inkbird thermostat I installed shortly after I got the kegerator when it was used for beer as seen in the other thread. The original thermostat died, and the replacement was nearly as much as I paid for the kegerator, so instead I spent 10 bucks on...

The SHURFlo booster pump will do you well, as it'll allow you to have the optimal pressure settings to get the carbonation levels high and has a pressure tank like your RO system to help maintain the pressure. Things that allow CO2 to defuse into water quickly are cold water temperatures and...

That tower looks great there! Probably the hardest part of the whole build will be securing the tower to the counter top and connecting the lines, only because of the cramped space under the sink. Looking at that reminded me of what I did: Once the 2 inch PVC pipe came up through the floor and...

Sure you can use a tank to hold the water and just have the water go in on the gas side, in fact they make excellent water storage solutions once you've thoroughly sanitized them. Just make sure to purge the air by pulling the pressure relief valve on the lid until a bit of water squirts out...

If the hose fits kind of snug on the SS lines and you can shove it up close to where the black foam is and put 2 or 3 clamps on it, it should be fine. I did that when my kegerator was being used as intended and I replaced the stock tower with a fancy brass used one, but the stainless lines were...

You're probably going to have to cut the RO hose and use a barbed hose splicer to connect to the hoses together and clamp them, then slip hose over the supply lines on the tap as far as you can and I'd use at least two clamps on those since they don't have barbed connections on them. It looks...

I used a cap like this one and drilled a hole the same side as the outer diameter to pass the seltzer line through and sealed it with a touch of calk. You could drill two holes for each of the lines, or one hole and feed them both through. Just make sure that the outer PVC pipe is sealed so that...

The small pipe within a larger pipe with the seltzer line inside the larger is the way to go, as it's what works in beer towers, and what I basically did. But before you commit to using ridged PVC inside the larger pipe you should consider if you have to have any bends in it because trying...

I did something similar as outlined in this thread but instead of something like the Kegland continuous carbonator lid on a corny keg I used a McCann's Big Mac Carbonator to produce the seltzer and basically ran the seltzer line through PVC pipe through my kitchen floor under the counter with a...

I believe the McCann line of carbonators is manufactured by Manitowoc under their Mulitplex division, their website is: www.multiplexbeverage.com Good luck!

That shouldn't be a problem, after all long before BiB systems existed and home brewers discovered the wonder that is the corny keg, premixed sodas were put in these 5 gallon wonders of joy. Most BiB syrup is a 5:1 ratio, so you would need about 0.833 gallons of syrup and then fill the tank with...

First off, I'm a bit jealous that you have 80PSI going into your house that requires a pressure reducer. So, some pictures of your setup would help, but if the float switch is open (off) regardless of where the float is positioned the motor would never turn on. If it's closed (on) then it would...

I think your best bet would to be to invest in a SodaStream. The quickcarb is designed to work in conjunction with a keg by constantly circulating the contents of the keg through it, by having a single pass without a reservoir for multiple passes of the water, you'll likely end up with...

Dang, they still had 'em on the 1st when I last checked. You can get the nozzle from the folks at http://americansodafountain.com/ They don't have the clear ones but do sell black replacement ones, and since they are in the business of refurbishing old soda fountains I would think they should...

Oh, and if anyone is thinking about picking up a vintage soda draft arm on ebay, there doesn't seem to be much out there on 'em. so here's what they look like disassembled: Basically, that black plastic disk has a bore in it that connects the center hole to either the front or back hole on the...
