Are you tired of constantly buying expensive carbonated water from the store? Do you want to have the convenience of freshly carbonated water on tap at home? Look no further than the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid for Soda Water on Tap - KL10955.
In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know to set up and use this innovative product.
First things first, let's talk about what you will need to get started. In addition to the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid (which fits standard soda kegs), you will also need a CO2 tank, a regulator, and tubing. These items can be purchased online or at a local homebrew supply store.
Once you have all of your equipment, it's time to set up your carbonator. Begin by removing the lid from your soda keg and attaching the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid. Make sure that the lid is tightly secured to the keg, as any leaks will prevent the carbonation process from working properly.
Next, attach your CO2 tank to the regulator and connect the regulator to the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid using the tubing. Adjust the pressure on the regulator to your desired level (typically around 30 psi for carbonating water).
Now comes the fun part - adding water to the keg and carbonating it! We recommend using cold, filtered water for best results. Fill the keg about 3/4 of the way full with water and seal the lid tightly.
Turn on the CO2 tank and allow the water to carbonate for 24-48 hours, depending on your desired level of carbonation. Keep in mind that the longer you carbonate, the fizzier the water will be.
Once the water has carbonated to your liking, it's time to dispense it! Connect the dispensing tubing to the keg and open the tap. Voila - you now have fresh, carbonated water on tap whenever you want it.
It's important to note that the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid is designed specifically for carbonating water and should not be used with sugary or acidic drinks, as they can damage the lid and keg. Additionally, it's recommended to clean the keg and lid after each use to prevent any buildup or contamination.
In conclusion, the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid is a fantastic investment for anyone who loves carbonated water and wants the convenience of having it on tap at home. With a little bit of setup and patience, you can have freshly carbonated water anytime you want it. Cheers to healthier and tastier hydration!
Connecting to Water Line
The KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid for Soda Water on Tap - KL10955 is designed to be used with a soda keg and a CO2 tank for carbonation, rather than directly attaching to a water line. However, it is possible to set up a system to continuously feed water into the keg for carbonation.
To do this, you will need to purchase additional equipment, including a water pump, water line, and fittings to connect everything together. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you set it up:
-
Attach the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid to a soda keg and connect it to a CO2 tank as described in the product manual.
-
Install a water pump in your water supply line. Make sure the pump is rated for the flow rate and pressure you need to supply the keg.
-
Attach a water line to the output of the water pump and run it to the inlet of the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid.
-
Install a pressure relief valve in the water line between the pump and the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid. This will prevent the water pressure from building up too high in the keg and causing damage.
-
Turn on the water pump and open the valve on the water line to start filling the keg with water.
-
Once the keg is filled to your desired level, close the valve on the water line and turn off the water pump.
-
Turn on the CO2 tank and adjust the regulator to your desired pressure.
-
Allow the water to carbonate for 24-48 hours, depending on your desired level of carbonation.
-
Connect the dispensing tubing to the keg and open the tap to dispense carbonated water.
It's important to note that this setup will require regular maintenance and cleaning to prevent buildup or contamination in the water lines and keg. It's recommended to clean the keg and lid after each use and replace the water in the system regularly.
Overall, setting up a continuous water supply to the KegLand Continuous Soda Carbonator Keg Lid can provide a convenient and efficient way to have freshly carbonated water on tap at home. However, it does require additional equipment and setup compared to using a soda keg and manually filling it with water.
