fordayzbro Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I'm going to try a place called Air Liquide which I think may do food grade... I'm expecting to part with over $200 to get a new bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 That's just the bottle, you will also need a regulator, needle valve, solenoid, timer, stainless steel non return valve, diffuser, ph and Kh test kits to check bubble rate is correct.... I must have missed something out here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Oooo, just remembered, C02 proof airline, thread tape and a large adjustable spanner or Crescent as they are called here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordayzbro Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 If I can't find a good supplier that's close by and cost effective then I might just go for Sodastream. It's food grade Co2 and I can get refills at Farmers. I will look at fire extinguishers etc first as the Sodastream bottle is small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 i've got the solenoid, gauges and everything. i'm pretty sure i only need the bottle + gas.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember you can use an adaptor from your regulator if you have to, so check all potential suppliers of Co2 for the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
