Home water carbonator

I have found a guy off Kijiji that refills 3 cans for $25:

I started out renting them from one of the local beer stores (can't remember if it was grapes to glass or vineyard).


Then I bought my own 10 lbs tanks and use those now. When I need a refill, I swap them out at Innovative Fire and Safety (https://infire.ca/). I probably only need a refill every 6 months.

It is very convenient (and much more affordable) to buy bulk citric acid and baking soda and not have to worry about CO2 tanks etc. It takes about 5 minutes per 750ml bottle on the highest carbonation setting. Only the Sparkel proprietary bottles will work with the machine.

Overall I would recommend it

Thanks. So would you say it achieves a similar carbonation level as what you’d get out of a can of pop?

Yeah I’d say it’s pretty darn close.

Why have the middle man? Why not just an arctic, carbonated bidet?

-35 fizzy water shot up your ass? That'll start your day.

Actually on my particular bidet you can opt for an aerated spritz. Not really the same, but I think it might be close.

You can buy an adapter for $45-65 to hook up to a large canister to re-fill the tiny Sodastream ones. I've been considering it, but I still on the first canister and it's been almost 18 months.

I just don't use it enough, yet. It was my resolution for last year in reducing my pop consumption. Reasonably successful tbh. But I found myself reducing carbonated beverages in general if it wasn't conveniently on hand.
