If you own a SodaStream machine, you probably love how easy it is to make fresh soda water at home. However, the cost of refilling those small CO2 gas cylinders can add up quickly. Fortunately, there's a simple solution: the FreedomOne SodaStream Adapter Hose.
The Problem with Small CO2 Cylinders
Many users find that the smaller 400-gram CO2 cylinders can be expensive. Filling one costs around $20. In contrast, larger 2.6-kilogram cylinders cost about $25 to $30 and hold six and a half times more gas. This makes the larger cylinders a much better deal.
Introducing the FreedomOne SodaStream Adapter Hose
The SodaStream adapter hose allows you to connect a larger CO2 cylinder to your SodaStream machine. Here’s why this adapter is a smart choice:
- Easy to Use: The adapter fits most SodaStream machines, making it a convenient option for many users. Fits both the original screw in machines and the new Terra push in design.
- Cost-Effective: Using a larger cylinder significantly reduces your refill costs, ultimately saving you money over time.
- High-Pressure Design: The adapter is made from high-pressure hose, rated to handle about 300 bar, ensuring safety and reliability.
How to Set Up Your Adapter Hose
Setting up the FreedomOne SodaStream adapter hose is straightforward. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Get the Right Equipment: Make sure you have a SodaStream machine, the adapter hose (check if it is a push in fitting or screw in), and a larger CO2 cylinder (like a 2.6-kilogram or 6-kilogram cylinder).
2. Attach the Hose:
- Remove the back cover of your SodaStream machine.
- Instead of installing the small CO2 cylinder, screw the adapter hose into the back of the machine. Make sure it’s snug but not overly tight to avoid damaging the plastic threads.
3. Connect the Other End:
- Attach the other end of the hose to the larger CO2 cylinder. Use a wrench to secure it but don't over-tighten.
- If you have the Terra style machine you just need to push in the end of the hose so that it connects.
- Always check that the O-rings are in place in the quick disconnect fitting for a proper seal.
4. Check for Leaks: Before you start using it, ensure there are no leaks. You can spray a bit of soapy water around the connections and look for bubbles or simply monitor the pressure to see if it drops.
5. Enjoy Your Soda Water: Use your SodaStream bottles as usual. The process is the same, but you’ll notice a significant savings in gas costs.
What are the Benefits?
Using the SodaStream adapter hose not only saves money but also provides:
- Convenience: No more running to the store for refills.
- Sustainability: Reduced plastic waste from disposable cylinders.
- Extended Use: With larger cylinders, you can make more soda water before needing a refill.
Conclusion
Switching to a larger CO2 cylinder with the SodaStream adapter hose is a smart move for anyone who enjoys making their own soda water. It's easy to set up, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. If you're tired of expensive small cylinder refills, consider investing in this adapter hose today!
