Soda Machine CO2 Cylinder Refill Adapter Hose Soda Maker Co2 Canister Refill Station for Filling Soda blue Co2 Bottle

UPDATE: This product works well except for the fact that the connections do not rotate, so the angle of the tanks in relation to one another when connected may not be ideal, especially if filling with donor tank inverted. The only option is to try to rotate the smaller tank but this will twist the hose which is very stiff and pulls at the connections. I purchased a "1/8 Inch NPT Female Connector and 8mm Male Plug Fill Nipple Quick-Disconnect Set" on Amazon and added that to the end of the hose before it connects to the small 60L tank with gauge. This allows me to now connect and disconnect the hose there as well as rotate the 60L tank 360 degrees freely around the hose for ideal positioning. I noticed this added connector on another identical refill adapter for sale and wonder why it seems to be left off of this one as it seems rather necessary. We used a typical 20lb CO2 without siphon tube to be the donor tank. We froze the small tanks as recommended. Since C02 is a liquid, this product will only work with a normal C02 tank (without a siphon tube) if the donor tank is inverted upside down. This allows the liquid to flow downwards into the smaller tank. One of us held the donor tank upside down on the table and the other worked this adapter valve to fill the small tanks. If someone is not available to stabilize and keep the donor tank from falling over, then a stand that can hold the tank inverted would be required. The other option is to have a tank with a siphon tube inside. Such tank can fill other tanks while in the upright position due to the siphon tube bringing liquid C02 through the tube (like a drinking straw) and out to the other tank. I do not think a tank with a siphon tube can be used for anything other than filling other C02 tanks. It would have to be a dedicated donor tank and cannot be used with a keg or directly connected to soda machine as the siphon tube would prevent it from releasing gas in the typical manner. It took less than a minute to fill the SodaStream tanks. I opened the valve very, very slowly. i only needed to turn the valve about 30 degrees for optimal filling. We were able to fill the smaller tanks almost completely adding very close to the additional 14.5 ounces. The gauge has a range that is highlighted green that lets you know when the tank is full. I found that very helpful to know where we were in the filling process. The online videos and product video review here was very helpful in understanding how this filling adapter valve works.

Only filled 3 bottles with this so far but it has been flawless. Easy operation, no leaking, solid build. 3 month update: I’ve used this for about 10 bottles now. Still works great. The large nut on this came slightly loose a month ago and I heard CO2 leaking from it, but a slight tighten with a crescent wrench sealed it up. Hasn’t happened since. 2 year update: Still working great. Refilling bottles regularly (about once every 3 weeks). No leaking issues.

Product is well made and functions well. Important to cool canisters before filling. I had a little problem with the filter, and received prompt response to my messaged and excellent customer service from this supplier.

Was great for the first two fills and now going back to use it it no longer works as the needle valve seal leaks. No clear support on how to repair this. Would NOT recommend.

This is a clever device. The video's discuss the critical nature of opening the valve slowly otherwise risking the safety check valve in the pressure vessel. I was successful filling only one of 6 bottles after many many tries. I think a 1/4 turn ball valve is simply the wrong type of valve for such a sensitive process. I will be exploring replacing the inlet ball valve with either a needle valve or perhaps a pressure regulator. For people capable of swapping out a few components, the price point of this unit is very reasonable.

Nice product. The installation was easy to use and put onto the product too. . Seems to hold the seal and that helps to make the taste of the brew better.

Worked for several months and dozens of refills then developed a leak around the stem of the canister adapter. Without a good seal you cannot refill the Sodastream canister.

Das Gewinde des Flaschenanschlusses war defekt. Habs selbst gerichtet. Der Rest funktioniert.

Worked perfectly filling new and old style soda stream bottles.
