Hello fellows. Great forum! I've been lurking here for a few months reading and trying to learn about carbonation. Like a few other posters here I'm doing it for health reasons. I need to drink more water but don't like to drink it that much for some reason. I thought if I could carbonate and flavor it a little I might be able to drink a lot more. I'll tell you want I would like to do and the equipment I have accumulated to do it. If you guys would then be so kind as to tell me yeah or nay or what I should do. First the equipment: I have a 20lb. CO2 tank with
a regulator. (left over from my hvac days). I have acquired a Jo-Bell M-6 carbonator unit salvaged from a scraped Taylor slush machine. It has a 1/4 hp motor. The tank I believe is 32 oz. I figured for what I'm trying to do this smaller unit (as opposed to a bigger 1/3 McCann unit) would be sufficient.
What I would like to do is hook this unit up and send it to my Refrigerator's in door water dispenser. I don't want the hassle of filling up water bottles all the time. I've included some pics. Do you guys think something like this is feasible?
Thank you for any suggestions!
