You should always keep the water cold BEFORE carbonation because the water will hold the carbonation better and it will carbonate more efficiently. It's a simple physics principle.
I agree.
Hubby and I keep a britta pitcher of water in the fridge and use that to fill our soda steam bottles. 😋
He said this... why are you bringing it up ?
Not only that, but in my beer making fridge, I keep the whole C02 tank cold also .... proper pressure achieved much quicker.... better .. physics.
@@TYRONE_SHOELACES I extract the CO2 from frozen gases trapped inside millennium old glaciers. The best, top proper pressure achieved. Instant…The Best…Physics.
Love that! We still have the Fizzy One touch, but when it moves on, I'm glad to see we can continue the hack with a new connector! Thanks Y'all!!! 😊 🎉🤠
Awesome to do and modify video! Thank you so much! I just got one, it’s the pull down pump, but I’ll get a second one for the lake!!! Thanks for the flavor reviews too!
I just bought one & love it! Some Targets will swap the gas cartridges @ 1/2 price.
yea! I love my soda stream had it for almost 2 years now and i have 2 bottles and its 15$ per refill
'
I just wanted to thank you for the information and your links. I’m completely set up and working on your recommended system. Thanks again.
Thank you. Just bought a new one and looking forward to saving even more
I found you channel today when I was thinking of buying a used soda Stream. I signed up because I like your energy plus you explain things clearly.
Love mine it was so worth it for us . I got it at a dirt cheap store for $40 bucks I have the terra non plug in it came with 2 bottles and one co2 . Have to start looking for this one at a dirt cheap now ! Have had mine a year now was new in the box
I have been running a soda stream on a 5lb co2 tank for a few years now. I drilled a hole through the countertop and ran the hose down to the cabinet below where I store the co2 tank. makes for a really nice looking install.
Is it dangerous to keep in your house? I think I would want to keep mine on my condo balcony just in case. What if there is a leak??
@@hw3006 it's co2, not explosive. Would you worry about having a fire extinguisher in your house?
How are you refilling it?
Just so folks know: mileage may vary! I charge at least one 1-liter bottle a day (sometimes 2) and my small Soda Stream c02 tank lasts me at least 3 months. Also, the cost of canister exchange here in my NC town is a flat $16. Our local Staples and Target keep them in stock. That being said, the main reason I have a Soda Stream is for convenience and to reduce the waste of single use bottles and cans.
This doesn't math up. 1 liter bottle, at least once a day for 3 months. That's a minimum of 90, 1L size bottles. Even if you go by the 840mL fill line, that's a minimum of 75L worth of carbonated water. The company states it does 60L, which I have not gotten close to. The closest I have gotten to is 35 of the 1 L size bottles, which is about 30L of actually carbonated water. What's your hack for getting at least 75L of carbonated water from a single 410g co2 cylinder?
@@kunjpatel8442 Thanks for the math. That makes sense. I can not explain it. I just know I keep tight financial records and this is how often I have been purchasing refills. However, I will say that I have recently started pushing the level 2 carbonation button on my SS (instead of the lowest level) and my latest co2 bottle just gave out last week. This was MUCH more quickly than my usual time frame.
16 bucks for a small thing of c02 is ridiculous. You can buy an adapter and fill up a 20oz co2 tank for under 5 bucks at your local sporting goods store. Thats the route i took, ive had the soda stream with the modifications for about 4 years. Id say ive probably saved a few hundred dollars not having to pay that cost for their co2 tanks.
@@TooMuchTemperit costs me $18 just in gas to get to my local sporting goods store because it’s so far away. So $16 to not have to drive that far + cost of the refill sounds like a good deal to me
Does the sporting store have food grade co2?
Thanks for doing this demo! The tip about Dicks and party stores may make all the difference for me. I already got an adapter but don't have the new sodastream yet b/c I'm deciding about whether to go electric.
There are other great reasons to make your own seltzer water - (1) Using your own RO or filtered water, (2) Not drinking liquid that has been stored in plastic in warm temperatures (almost certainly the store bottles were warm or hot at some point in their travels),
Just discovered you guys and just subscribed. Love the keto lifestyle! Love the info! And, so many 'thats what she said' moments!
You guys ROCK!!!! So awesome and helpful! I just LOVE YOU!! 💖
Very informative, thanks so much! This hack would never have occurred to me!
I love your enthusiasm and your teamwork you would’ve made a great Home Shopping Network hosts and I don’t mean that in a negative way I love watching your videos. I’m a new subscriber and I can’t wait to show this to my daughter and my wife you guys are greatest.
This is amazing! I still have the original soda stream but whenever I get a new one I’m doing this. Thank you 😊
you can do it with the old one. We have a video on it.
Great presentations you two. very easy to follow.
Finally...now that i saw your awesome video. I've placed an order for my very first Sodastream plus the accessories you recommend. Ive built myself a small beverage/liquor bar at home with colored led lighting, so i reckon the sodastream is going to be a great addition. If im gonna save in the long run...im all for it. Thanks for this amazing video. I would have never known, about this brilliant modification.
Cheers 🍻
Wow, Joe really IS a gadget guru! While I've never been a carbonated person, I can see where this would be well worth it for someone who is! And even though not my cuppa, always entertaining to watch you 2 anyway. Cheers!
thanks, that was extremely helpful! You guys are the bomb-diggity!
I am so happy I stumbled upon your page! I was at a shop earlier today and kept staring at a Sodastream that was on sale. Something kept telling me to read up on this product a bit more before purchasing. I LOVE carbonated water, but this seems like too much work for me as a single person, especially when I have a grocery store just around the corner and pretty good local recycling.
Thank you thank you thank you both!!!!...I recently bought the sodastream with the glass bottle non powered and quickly found out how expensive the replacement cartridges are!!!.....my husband is handy and I'm sure could help me hack my model....love your videos, content and enthusiasm for life!!!!...have a Blessed day ☺
wow, this was so helpful, thank you for sharing... i just bought a new sodastream terra and I just also bought the art one waiting for it to come in (thought I'd compare the two to see which is better for my needs, because I normally buy the Kirkland Sparking Italian water, but those cases are so heavy for me to lug upstairs to my apartment and this is my special treat... I started looking into these because the weight of getting these into my apartment was becoming difficult, especially with an upcoming, major, surgery I'm having in less than 2 weeks. I did just order the cable you linked and will get the canister, too which will come in before my surgery (yay). There is a dick's nearby and I will look for a brewery close by, as well. So happy about finding your channel... thank you so much!
Her energy is everything 😊
Hi Racheal and Joe, great video. Love the of the energy and the info.
Quick question, is there a hack to refill the bottle that comes with the E-Terra machine with the larger CO2 bottle instead of having the unit connect be the hose?
Big Thanks!
hey, I know this video is older but for Black Friday 2023 these are only 89 at Target and Home Depot. Great deal. been watching them for a while
I wonder if this would work with a regular Terra that is just push button (which I have) and not electric?
Thanks for the tip 😊
I appreciate your insight with this video. I purchased a bundle, bought supplies, and learning how to make flavors I prefer.
One thing I was surprised to find was the minimal price difference to fill a 10 lbs CO2 tank compared to 5 lbs.
Called 4 places for tank prices on food grade 5 and 10 lbs tanks. Then quoted price for refilling both.
Refill 5 lbs. $17.78
Refill 10 lbs $21.10
I add the electrolytes to the water before I put the co2 in, no issues. I use the manual soda stream, new style bottle. Must space your pumps out to match the bubbles expanding.
Many thanks. We cunched the numbers on our end. About 15 months ROI assuming Yearly (7-year) depreciation cost and consumables. We used your affiliate links. Thank you again. Best of luck.
Great video and great information
I don't have any convenient food grade CO2 options near me so I haven't modded mine, but my SodaStream is still well worth it, each gas canister costs me less than a 12 pack of San Pellegrino, lasts longer, and my money isn't going to Nestle.
any paintball store, welding shop or beer and wine place will sell them
@2krazyketos and the CO2 from such places are all captured from non-carcogenic sources such as exhaust fumes and others?
Paintball CO2 and food grade are incredibly different in how they're captured, stored, etc.
Ive watched many videos, but this us the one! Simple, safe and effective.😅
Excellent review! My wife and I are looking into doing a similar setup. Two questions: Would this adapter work for the non-electrical version of the Terra? And is pressure regulation a concern?
I did this 3 months ago. best change ever
Any Welding or Industrial Gas supplier will sell you a bottle, and refill / exchange it for you at better rates than Dicks or the beer / homebrew distributor. Bonus: The bottles have to be periodically pressure tested, so if you are exchanging them, you never have to worry about that.
This is useful info. I purchased a new empty CO2 tank but it's hard to find anyone in my area that will fill up an empty tank. They all just do tank swap outs. Worth checking around your area first to see if any place even does refills, and do a price comparison. The welding/industrial gas spots do seem cheaper
@@JoshSchlottman The other take-away is this: Visit a gas supplier and tell them exactly what you intend to do. In my case, I am refilling sodastream bottles (not very often, they are a PITA) or small CO2 bottles for use with a sodastream adaptor fitting, so they recommended a SIPHON.
I have a 20lb cylinder, WITH A SIPHON. This feeds liquid CO2 from the bottom of the big cylinder into the target. You get a better fill, waste less gas, and generally, can all-but empty the liquid from the source bottle.
@@whiteb0rd - Hi @whiteb0rd,
I feel a little bit dull in trying to picture what you are describing here when you say,
"The other take-away is this: Visit a gas supplier and tell them exactly what you intend to do. In my case, I am refilling sodastream bottles (not very often, they are a PITA) or small CO2 bottles for use with a sodastream adaptor fitting, so they recommended a SIPHON.

but as I am simply exploring this whole process & do not even own a SodaStream at this point, besides seriously requiring visuals for me to understand unfamiliar processes, I'm struggling to follow what you are describing. Any chance you could make a short RUclips video to talk through & show the steps of the way you've found to do this? Maybe you could then comment back here with the video name & your channel name, so that people could find it (Or maybe these folks could pin it here to facilitate the search)? In any case, I'm really interested in what you've described & would love to understand better! TY!

Sorry for all questions but I got my tank and hose I hooked it up upon looking at my fitting there was white washer in it thought I got extra did not put extra in turned valve it was leaking out turn off put the extra one in and did not Carbonate enough tried again white foam came out tried again button was stuck on Terra non electric tried again it worked what did I do wrong?Thankyou!
How big is the drill bit to drill the hole in the back I traded my 20lb tank for an another 20lb tank that was re certified and filled for $90 dollars it’s an old Pepsi Tank. I had to go to a Fire and Safety Store for food grade co2. I use fresh lime or lemon to my water.
There's some reviews on the Amazon product you linked that say it leaves a bad taste in the gas if left in the tube. Is this something you have found?
Thank you so much for sharing your keto conference experience😊. The other day you had a video and ended you suggested that we don’t order keto chow from Amazon but order it directly from the company and I thought the reasoning made sense however trying to order keto chow from their site is frustrating and confusing. there is so much advertisement and then there’s testimonials and a bunch of other stuff and nowhere that says order now which is what they should put first and save the rest for later. I actually was in tears of frustration and still could not place an order so I’ll just go to Amazon because I have no idea what else to do.They should make it a lot easier to order an item especially for dummies like myself😮
I don’t find the website complicated. As soon as you open it, there is a button that says shop now. It is a significant savings. On Amazon a bag is $103, on the website, if you use our link, a bag is $81. In addition you earn rewards and get great customer service
Thank you!!
I love your content ❤️
Masha Allah very timely guys… I’m looking for a carboniser… subbed
Just watched your video and really enjoyed it! I tried clicking on the link for the e-Terra adapter and it redirected me. Did they discontinue that or am I doing something wrong. Is there a serial number for the one for the E-Terra? Thanks.
My mistake. It looks like the one you showed on the video is the same for the any of the Terra models. Slip connect vs the old screw in type. My mistake.
Man I miss my machine I bought some off brand soda machine so long ago and the C02 bottle was refillable that came with it. I was able to get mine filled at a local fire extinguisher service company. My bottle got broke or lost and the soda stream ones didn't fit I couldn't find replacements 😞
This is wonderful! I have a Fizzi One Touch - would I use the same hose (pink tip) that you used for the Terra?
No, the Fizzi One touch uses the old blue canisters, check out the other video on that one
Thank you! 💖@@2krazyketos
have you guys been on tv before? You guys do an excellent job together, i would not believe you if said you guys just decided to do youtube out of nowhere and are that good on camera.
So you're basically using the SodaStream as a regulator. Which is cool. You can also buy a regulator for about $20. So with the CO2 tank and a regulator and a little bit of beverage line you can carbonate empty soda bottles. If you're looking to get into it and you don't already have a SodaStream, I recommend going that route. With a regulator you can also dial up or down how much CO2 you're putting into the bottle to make things more or less fizzy.
i have the sodastream art can i use the same adapter for the terra since there both fit for pink bottles and would it work for any 5-10ib c02 tanks?
yes
I'm wondering how syphon bottles and the little metal charging cartridges compare, both in terms of money, contribution to landfills, quality of soda.
thank you so much
Awesome video! I have been looking at getting a soda stream to make drinks at home. Do you have any issues with the soda stream since the 5lb co2 tank is charged to nearly 1,000psi vs the bottles it came with at around 120psi? Will this add any extra wear and tear on the soda stream or does the soda stream regulate the extra pressure?
Thanks!
Target stores by me usually have the CO2 cartridges in stock
Awesome info
I couldn’t find the link. What is the actual name of the adapter? Thank you in advance!
I absolutely love love love my Sodastream. I feel like I get more bottles out of it than you say but I've never really kept track. I use the Sodastream exchange program through the mail. I have 3 co2 bottles so when I have 2 empty I send them back. Yes I have to pay shipping but it's like $7. The stores were always out and I would forget to go so I was always out so I feel the $7 is totally worth it to me.
Am I saving money? Well who knows. I do know that it doesn't' seem to cost more. But there are some huge upsides beyond money. One I don't have to go to the store all the time and lug a bunch of soda back to my house all the time. The big heavy boxes of canned soda or multiple 2 liters. The aren't clogging up my recycle all the time. And I have such a huge choice of flavor without a lot of room being taken up in my cabnets. I have pepsi, mountain dew, orange soda, lemon lime, and root beer. Not to mention water enhancer flavors.
Do you recommend the adapter hose with the on off valve or does that really matter much
No reason. There's a valve right on the tank if you use the same 5lb tank they have.
Pro tip, some companies also sell refill adapters for the standard sodastream co2 bottle. So if you dont want to bother with the hose sticking out the back, you can buy a refill adapter and just refill the standard bottle with the 5 pund bottle
Hi, do you have the refill adapter for the new E-terra bottles. Just curious how it’s working and which brand you purchased. Big thank,
Can the same co2 hack work on the ninja thirsty?
Thanks for the awesome video. Will this system work on Sodastream Terra(Non-Electric) model ?
yes
@@2krazyketos Thanks
I DIY my own by using vinegar and baking soda with 2 bottles, food grade tubing, and duck tape
Why are some people using guages with there co2 tank to carbonate water and my tank does not say 5lbs on it as advertised or i am reading wrong why?Thanks!
Thank you! Great info! I have one of the old original Soda Streams. Is there an adapter that you’ve a link for to share?
ruclips.net/video/0VArJfKQwE4/видео.html
@@2krazyketos Thank you very much for the video. Sadly my model is even older than this video. It’s manual/push type & I think SodaStreams first generation of machines. Thank you again for trying.
@@lisaturner6297 all of the original soda steam models use the same fixture. If you are currently using the blue label bottles, it will work. It works with the manual ones as well as the electronic ones
@@2krazyketos Thank you so very much. I’ll check again. It would sure be a great $$$ saver for us 😊
I have a Terra - the non- electric version with the pink canisters. I guess this modification would work for it as well?
yes
I bought a 500ml pump dispenser bottle on Amazon and pump a few squirts into a glass and then add the plain sodastream water into it. No bottle cleaning necessary since it only has plain water in it at all times. I can adjust the strength of the drink by using more or fewer pumps of syrup. For example the Pepsi zero I use 4-5 pumps, for Starry I use 5-6 pumps.
I have the original terra its not electric but it is a quick connect will your hose you used to hack yours work with my terra?Thankyou!
yes
Can you store the big bottle of co2 under the cabinet or does it have to be counter level thank you for the info
You can stored in a cabinet. Chris mounted in the cabinet above the soda stream.
Yay your last video show that but do you know if it can go below?
I like your shirt, Joe!
Awesome video!
You guys are a beautiful couple!
The main reason to use this is to avoid plastic bottle waste. If love to see breakdown of the environmental impact of the two options (Sodastream vs. Buying new bottled soda water)
help
I just refilled my 5 lb and now it seems to be too much pressure. sodastream button won't push
The difference in the non diet sodas is the sweetener. If you look at the contents, it shows sugar and sucralose as sweeteners. The Pepsi in the store uses either high fructose syrup or regular cane sugar as the sweetener. They are also using inverted sugar, as well.
A long time ago, I worked at Jack in the Box and we had a way bigger canister for the carbonation. It may have had a device to keep refilling it, as I never remember refilling that bottle. We only refilled the syrup bottles.
I got mine to avoid messing with water bottles from the grocery store, not to save money. Great video though! Thank you!
I didn't see the link for the adapter. Is it on there or am I not looking correctly
its there. SodaStream Terra Hose adapter: amzn.to/45hJ7Gb
I hacked my old one and it's still going strong! I keep forgetting to use the Daily Minerals in mine - usually just LMNT. I also keep one mixed up in the fridge to have as a grab and go if I'm in a hurry.
Thanks
Is it dangerous to keep inside? I think i would keep mine on my condo balcony just in case. Im scared of leaks or explosion. I live in Florida. Do you recommend keeping it outside on a shaded balcony in a wood cabinet with ventilation?
it is just co2, it is not dangerous.
If you use Canada Dry powder before the fizz, it's the best way to do it.
i found out the hard way that Topichico doesnt mix with LMNT inside my work office!! luckily there is a door to outside less than 5 ft away lol
If you use cold water to make the fizzy water, how long will the water stay fizzy? I'm hearing it's not too long, but that might be user error I guess. Thanks!
It’s just like soda. We have made fizzy water from cold water and it’s stayed fizzy for days
I bought one hoping to do the mod but nobody by me will fill the CO2. Will step keep the soda stream since I'm able to get around 40 refills before running out of CO2.
Thanks for this information!! I was considering buying one…..but I think I will be passing!
I'm glad I saw this. I wanted to save money. I can get sparkling water for 79 cents a liter at Aldis.
Would a smaller tank other than the 5lb tank you have work with your hose if so do you know of one?Thankyou!
yes it would
@@2krazyketos I am looking at a tank that is advertised as 5lb but its not really saying 5lb on tank how do i know its actually 5lbs.?Thankyou!
For the European viewers, the adapter is being sold under the SPRUDELUX brand and can be bought through the Dutch and German Amazon store. This saves about 80 euros in taxes and shipping from the US which you can use to buy a 2kg CO2 tank.
Does it save on money ? I buy from Aldi 12.68/week (4 boxes @12).
Does anyone know if you need to turn the carbon tank off when it’s not in use?
No
Good info
I've gotta say, I'm a little bit in love with Rachel. Thanks for sharing!
Joe, welding stores also fill co2!
I saw a comment where somebody said refilling co2 is not as easy as you make it sound. They said the co2 used needs to be food grade co2, and if refilled at a dept store or somewhere it may have contaminates and such. Thoughts?
I'm familiar with this controversy. What I learned is that Food Grade, Medical, and welding CO2 gas are usually the same purity. NEVER use CO2 gas designed for paintball guns because it may have lubricant in it. Also, try to find a refill place where they will fill your personal container rather than a place where you have to exchange your personal empty container for their full one.
You're not worried about not having a pressure guage on the co2 tank? I just bought a setup and am planning to modify, but I am worried about blowing up my system.
you can get one on the adapter if you want. The 5lb cylinders have the same pressure as the soda stream canisters.
I have the original soda stream. I have to do this to mine.
Now Rachel needs the sound effects that Tim Taylor did from tool time, since she is so handy.
Should you disconnect the CO2 tank when not using the Soda stream machine?
you don't need to
This is a really informative video but I don't know how practical all these modifications are for people. 😮 I'm just now getting one for the first time. I also just got it on Black Friday this year. But I have a question ❓ I just got the tara, I didn't get the E-Tara but does that mean I won't get the new CO2 canisters?
No, the only difference is one is electric and one is manual
@@2krazyketos thank you so much. And thank you for replying. I was worried because I was afraid I was going to have to deal with the old CO2 canister. Great videos by the way 💯😀👍🏻 I'm getting my SodaStream for Christmas so I can't wait to try it out and put it to test.
I was a long time sodastream user but I moved over to BonneO when it became available. Math was cheaper using citric acid and baking soda. Moved back over to using CO2 canisters in December 2023 with a Ninja and ultrima cosa. I was closely monitoring usage with sodastream and getting 55-58L per 60L canister. I did hear about some people getting half that. I also heard that sodastream purposely sold some canisters half full, calling them “starter tanks”. I always used to get my tanks refilled through a local family who was refilling them at half the cost, and I would always get 55-58L. Now that I’m back into using CO2 canisters, there are many more options rather then using sodastream refills. $9-$12 through multiple mainstream companies that sell their canisters alongside sodastream at the stores (in Canada). I never got into using the 5lb canister method because here food-grade CO2 places are harder to find. Sports stores here don’t do refills and brew shops are hard to find.
Is there a way to just refill the SodaStream canister with the big one? I think it's a great idea, I just hate to have a big canister laying around the house. I prefer less clutter.
I use a 20lb tank I keep in the basement to refill my sodastream tanks.
Unfortunately, my detailed response explaining the setup process was auto flagged by youtube as spam, deceptive practices or scams. And I was warned my account may be banned. So you are on your own to figure out how to do it, but it is definitely possible.
Yes you can you can buy a big one and refill at home make sure you get the right equipment tho because the new canisters have a "safety" valve inside it so that you can't do it your self but it is possible
@@danielletanner1797I have the quick connect (new style) canisters and mine have been filling fine with the Chinese adapter I bought. Did they add this new safety valve recently?
you can modify any version. I gutted mine and put it in a custom housing. I removed the button and replaced it with an electronic valve, so a Arduino could pulse the gas very precisely with a touch screen. I then use a 7 station peristaltic pump to dose the syrup.
