If you do that keep one tap and one keg just for soda. My understanding is they can impart flavors to the o-rings, tubing, etc.
I really like the results with Splenda... well the store brand but same difference.
I don't mind the taste of the plain carbonated water so I guess in that I'm lucky. I'm not a big fan of syrupy drinks so drink mine way on the lite side... more flavored seltzer than soda/pop. If I didn't like the bite of the carbed water I would be screwed.
My order is in for a half-dozen flavors. Any issue with keeping the pumps clean?

Tom, what length of beverage line are you using right now for your water?
Nope just poured a 5 gal jug of my bottled spring water into the keg and carbed it. When you make the syrup you add all the sweetener and flavoring you need.
HeavyBrew ... give more squirts a go. The actual suggested is 3 oz syrup to 7 oz water but to me that is WAY too sweet/syrupy. I do it at 1 oz syrup to 15 oz water if that tells you anything. The 16 squirt thing is only 1 oz to 15 oz water... you could double or even triple it and still be below what they suggest, lol. I do find myself adding more of the sarsaparilla and root beer to give it more bite but even then it is nowhere near their suggested ratio.
Yeah the cola was 'meh' at best but I use it to mix with vanilla which comes out good. Sarsaparilla and root beer are great though I think.
I really like that it is no calories, if you go with sugar substitute, or caffeine though. That and flavor to taste since most sodas I don't care for... too syrupy/sweet.
Would love to execute this method for tonic water (or just mix a corney with tonic out of a bag-in-box, water, gin, and roses lime... G&T on tap..)

I mixed whiskey and coke (poured from 2 liter bottles) into a corney and it worked really well the first night but after that I couldn't get it to pour without foam, not sure if it was the liquor or what but I never got it to work right after that first night.

I picked up some bottles today for this. They aren't squirt bottles though, although I can upgrade them I think. For now, I'll be using these:

I like those! Been thinking of going pour or something with a longer draw... pumping stops making sense when you have to pump like 30 times, lol.
"The 1 oz pump will not fit our current quart bottle. However, we are getting a new quart bottle which it will fit. Check back the end of next week. We hope to have it on the web site by then."
25' should probably work. I went with the inserts to reduce the flow though and they work great. I left my line lengths the same across all my taps then used two inserts in each seltzer keg.
