Is your SodaStream 60-Liter Carbonator-Spare Cylinder full and ready to use or do i need to get it filled?

Industrial (paintball CO2) is not clean and contains toxic contaminants such as benzene. Food grade CO2 is filtered and refilled into clean containers. Industrial CO2 is refilled into dirty containers and has who knows what growing inside of it such as mildew. One option for a larger CO2 container is a beer brewing supply store. Saving a couple bucks is not worth taking cancer causing chemicals into your body.

All the Soda Stream Cylinders should be filled if you ordered it or if you bought it at a store. The only way I know it might be empty is if you are purchasing from a person.

It is full and ready to use. Full, unopened, sealed cylinders can go through the mail. Once the seal is broken they are not supposed to be shipped. I have three cylinders. Once I am on the last one I take the other two in for exchange at either Williams / Sonoma, or WalMart. The price for exchange is the same at both retailers (less than the purchase of a new cylinder).

When you buy a new one or one that comes in a Kit it will be full. Best Best is to get a spare (around $40) and then exchange the original (when empty) for it at various Grocery stores, Wal-Mart in your area. Since I have been using SS, I keep some cans on hand but there is no going back for us. By far, I prefer the Flavor of SS syrup products now.

You can purchase the refill tanks at bed bath and beyond and the big one 130 liters it cost 30. New is more expensive. as you see on the machine it has 4 carbonation buttons and a reset button (only used after changing tanks)

It appears to be a proprietary connector on the bottleneck. As previously commented, I just use my bottle to make the fizzy water then pour it into a Sigg bottle.

Yes you could use this to refill the sodastream cylinders, you would require one additional part which can be located at CO2Doctor called the FillStationPro, http://www.co2doctor.com/fillstationproIIspec.htmThis cylinder has a siphon tube which dispenses liquid CO2. This cylinder would not be appropriate for the larger coke/pepsi machines.

Ok, first I never fill totally full the tank, only 80% maximum. Second, in your case you should contact the seller no matter which part has problem. I had leaking problem in the filter machine before. They helped to solve it. The seller has very good customer service.

Yes, the kit comes with carbonator, 1 sodastream bottle to make soda and a few sample flavoring packets.

The carbonater is connected to a tube (I use a snap fitting available at local stores that deal with air hoses etc) which is than connected to a CO2 regulator which is connected to a C02 tank.You can get the tanks on line or various outlets that deal with beer taps or welding supplies. The carbonator is a screw cap that is screwed to the bottle of fluid that you want to carbonate. check u tube for carbonation etc. Open the the valve at the regulator adjust the pressure for the pressure you want and then snap fit the tube to the Carbonator and fill the bottle.

I'm unsure of the SODASTREAM; however, if you're familiar with the paintball canisters this adapter is a little too large.

I bought other chargers on Amazon, they didn't fit as well, so it wouldn't give the charge of soda. So, I stuck a small piece of paper towel on top of the charger to tighten up the fit, worked fine. I love the charger, it was for our up north cottage, so I didn't have to take bottle seltzer up and the other soda streams didn't fit under our counter (and we had limited space). Good luck

I have no idea what flow rate and capacity of Co2 your needs require or what sort of pressure regulation, etc., is appropriate. These are standard 20 lb tanks with pretty new inspection dates. If a standard Co2 tank is what you need for a planted aquarium, these are nice big ones that are not too big to be obtrusive or too heavy to carry. I would guess they run 50 plus pounds apiece filled, so two are reasonable to carry at one time. One big tank of the same capacity is pretty difficult to move and take in to get filled. The tanks are a good size, good quality and priced well, so I bought two to rotate in my Soda machine. Hope this helps some.

yes, it is. fyi, not all sodastream authorized dealers exchange these (e.g. Macy's), so call around. If I remember correctly, Costco exchanges the 60-L carbonator.

The bottle itself is, but not sure if the brass valve assembly is or not. For transfering CO2 gas in paintball guns this is a non-issue. I do not believe it would be an issue for Soda Stream machines either, as the gas merely passes through the brass valve (and the Soda mod-style adapter that screws onto the bottle's valve), but am pretty sure that the parts per million is not life-threatening or harmful if it exists at all in the process of gas tranfer from bottle to drink...not sure if that is helpful or not, and independent research may be merited...but that is only my opinion, for what it is worth.

Likely you need the carbonator replaced. Go to Target and exchange for a full one. The bottle has to be twist on and it has to be the specific type that came with the unit.

I don't think so. Your "gas" bottle is probably running down, but is not totally out. As you say, you are still getting a fizzy product. You will know it's done when there is no fizz happening in your soda. I like to have a spare gas bottle so that I never have to go without. Susan

It comes empty. You put the water in before it goes on the carboy. There is a line on the devise so you don't under-fill or over-fill it. This things is a very ingenious devise.
