Hello Hope everyone out there is doing well!
I used to pay for soda stream but got tired of being ripped off so I bought a five gallon co2 tank and a soda stream hookup. Now I love it so much that I drink a lot more sparkling water and am tired of doing the whole process (chilling the water,filling up to the line, turning the tank open, pushing hard down several times then reaching down and closing the tank. I simply can’t be bothered to do that.
I know that my logic tells me I ought to be happy with what I got. It’s the most economical. But I want sparkling water out a tap...
I would like to ideally only have to fill the water and pressurize it once a month. For this I’m thinking I need
three 5 gallon kegs $55x3
Regulator $45
Split for regulators and tubing so I can $25 pressurize more than one at a time (what is this called)
metal ball connectors $11x3
Some kind of tapping system $40
A fridge $160
1. So I estimate this at around $500 is this doable?
2. Is there a cheaper way to do this?
3. Will this be more work than my current system? I can currently just pressurize enough water for the day (2L) in one go it takes around 10 minutes per day to wait to fill up the water from the filter etc and push and push the button.
4. What will be the process to refill the kegs at the end of the month? As each keg Empties how easy is it to switch the tap to the next keg?
Thank you!
