I've been drinking seltzer, carbonated water, water with CO2 gas, not club soda! for 45+ years, been buying seltzer for 35-40 years, been making it for 10 years. First with a 20 lb. CO2 tank with a hose and regulator going in to a soda bottle, then Sodastream using an adapter I bought off Amazon to fit the CO2 bottle connection. The first machine lasted 18 months, replaced under warranty but upgraded to a better machine with a lifetime guarantee, that lasted 18 months, then replaced again, that lasted 18 months, then replaced again, now today. Sodastream had 6-8 models, now Pepsi-Cola bought Sodastream, they are down to 2 bottle compatible models. Again, under warranty, they have sent me 3 machines in a row all with the same problem, when the button is not pressed, gas comes out of the nozzle; the first 2 also made a racket when filling, and the last, yesterday I received it, the buttons do not work. I'm done with Sodastream.
Anyone make their own with another machine? Using a 20 lb. tank? Adapter? Are the Sodastream bottles compatible with that machine?
