Hi,
I am looking to replace my DIY CO2 system with a sodastream setup, as doing up a mixture every 2-3 weeks is fairly annoying and the quantity of CO2 is quite inconsistent beyond the first week. The tank is relatively small - approximately 70 litres theoretical (Ecostyle 61). I cannot use a proper cylinder as I simply do not have the space for it right now, but a "60L" (400grams) sodastream bottle will fit and should be adequate for my setup.
I am currently looking at sourcing a regulator, probably through fish-street.com, since I have dealt with them before and I've seen a few people on here using them. I believe these are also the regulators being sold on trademe, so figured some people must have used them.
The two regulator are the one made by UP: http://www.fish-street.com/professional ... egory_id=0
And the slightly cheaper HSL model: http://www.fish-street.com/hsl_co2_regu ... egory_id=0
As far as I can tell, there is no technical difference, besides the price. Haven't found too much online in ways of reviews for either of these regulators either, so hoping to get some feedback and advice from some more experienced users here.
For the sodastream adapter I am looking at getting: https://www.kegresources.co.nz/online-s ... ter-detail
Figured I would also get the bubble counter and co2 tubing from fish-street, while using my current plastic check-valve, unless there really is a difference between them?
If anyone has used either of these regulators I'd love to hear your advice. Additionally if anyone has any other suggestions or advice on my approach, please let me know. This is my first time setting up a pressurized system, so advice if most welcome and appreciated.
