For many years I used a kegerator to make seltzer. but that was very inconvenient with the constant filling of kegs with water and was wastefull of co2 every time I had to refill the kegs. then after a google search for "under the sink sparkling water" I found it, the lilium faucet. It is an ondemand seltzer tap that is tied into my houses water line. I rented a 20lb co2 tank and it works. I did have my local welding store remove the flair fitting from my regulator (shout out to tom from general welding, very helpful) and install an adapter and this fitting from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D459ZFYY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) for the co2 line. I did have the unit professionally installed by keith's plumbing. he was great and I recommend him very much. In any event, the unit was just installed today and appears to be working correctly. I now have seltzer with out having to carry cases or fill kegs. I only recommend this if you drink a lot of seltzer. My family goes through 10 gal every week or 2. Gas line is a 5/16 push tube and water lines are 1/4 push tube. an excellent buy for my family and if it continues to work I definitely recommend it. It comes with a 2 year warranty so we should be good.

ps: they really should say seltzer or club soda in the listing in addition to sparkling water as a search for those things did not turn up this product.
 
To be honest, I'm not too inconvenienced by using my kegerator to dispense sparking water, but an inline carbonator is pretty cool.
 
it really is a cool thing. Especially as my ac is dead currently so this way I have plenty of cold seltzer.
 
I bought one and it doesn't really make seltzer or sparkling as described. To begin with there isn't any 5/16 push pipe adapter for any CO2 regulator I could find so I had to buy a step down barb adapter and a piece of 5/16 ID pipe to connect the two. Even then what I get is about 1 second of micro bubbles in the water that goes flat in seconds.

Website says 12 hours response time, Once installed the cost to return it and refurbish it is more than the unit costs, so you are stuck with it. I am interested in how the Grohe blue works, but read several threads saying it doesn't. The only one i have seen work is zip but those are $6k plus before installation.

PS, may I ask what pressure you set the C02 tank at?
