CO2 Refill Station For Paintball Co2 Tanks For Soda maker Beverage Machines

[@hillbillytc5653]

how do you know when you are done filling it .

This was a useful video to watch, many thanks! I want to have a 20 lb Co2 tank for my RV tire refills and also have a soda siphon jug for carbonated water and whipped cream. Assuming this system can refill small cartridges as well? Some questions: 1. Are the small Co2 cartridges refillable? These are for fixing bicycle tires on the go, and soda siphons (not Soda Stream machine) but the commercial whipped cream type of jug. 2. How do you fill the larger tank that you are using to fill smaller ones? Do you need to go to a shop and have it filled? What is the cost of tank, and refill please? 3. Why do small tanks have to be cold / chilled prior to filling? So you can get more in there? 4. How do you know when small tank is full? Gauge? 5. Safety issues working with Co2? Ventilated area? Mask? Would love to know. Thank you for a good demo! You explained the connections very well.

You didn't use a scale? Why?

Does that 5 lb tanik have a dipstick? Seems like the amount of C02 would be quite small if it's just gas coming out.

Chilling the cylinder with a little CO2 helps keep the product from "flashing" (sublimating) into gas before filling does work but can, on occasion, create a dry ice formation inside cylinder which can hamper the complete and proper fill of cylinder. Just use common sense and don't take it for granted, (and use PPE like visor, safety glasses and gloves as CO2 can achieve pressures up to 1200 PSI and in dry ice form is -80 degrees). and you should be good to go.

If Co2 don't want flip big tank over to get liquid co2 in the tank or just air co2.

what type of refill station is that for paintball tank.I check online and most of them will fit for the co260L canister for soda machine. any link?

[@simplydoing9596]

Shut off valve is used for water Can it be used for co2 gas? Whats the working pressure of shut off ball valve u used?

[@Spijy369]

Hi, I have the same filling station, but my tank has no diptube, so I flip it upside down. I follow the steps from the video, but my canister gets filled only to 50%. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

[@trinitysupplyinc3892]

great

[@tomflatley9777]

Does this work with tanks without a siphon?

[@SansP3ur]

You will only get a partial refill without the siphon since only the gas will transfer and very little of the liquid CO2 (if any).

[@simplydoing9596]

What the siphon? Is it inside cyl below valve of tank
