        It’s also just a stand for a nozzle and a valve with really really overpriced CO2 cans
        A zionist stand for a nozzle and a valve !! screw that !!

        Check out this DIY fitting video to understand how it works
        and why you NEVER have to have a stupid sodastream to carbonate drinks

        It’s exponentially cheaper to buy a 5 or 10 pounds refillable cylinder
        and just fill existing 2 litres bottle

        You can also generate your own CO2 insitu with Baking Soda + Citric Acid

          Only thing I’ve been told to be mindful of is that sodastream CO2 cartridges are food safe and a lot of the cheaper alternatives aren’t.

            I theory yes, In practice nobody makes contaminated industrial CO² since the 1950s. If there are contaminant the gas supply will be VERY upfront about it. Usually it’s over 99.99% pure, very low moisture There’s also usually very few commercial sources of industrial gases in any particular town, so it’s usually not difficult to source it.

            If you want to pay extra, then find “food grade gas”, it’s probably the exact same gas because the industrial gas is already so pure it meets food grade quality. Probably the only difference is the fitting is kept “food clean”

            My gas guy gets it from “air liquide”, it’s a welding shop

            And when you look at the product’s safety datasheet

            It even already lists it as “food grade” They even list it as “100%” pure but of course, nothing is 100% pure.
