I have a soda stream machine I brought from the states,   It has the re usable co2 canisters that last about 60-120 liters depending on how bubbly you want to make it.

 

My canister is empty now and I need to refill it with co2 and am uncertain where I can do this.    Otherwise,   I am going to take 1/2 kg of dry ice and crush it and dump it into the empty container and let it offgas and re-pressurize the system.   

 

Anyone know where I might be able to go in for a regular refill of the tank?

Why make your life difficult. There are at least four different sods waters for sale at 7 Eleven,

I like to drink about 7 liters of it a day,  and the 7-11 is a mile from our place and those glass bottles are heavy.

At that level of consumption your local wholesale bottle shop or ice man (talk to your local restaurants) will deliver and take away the empties (and your CO₂ consumption is also the sole reason for climate change).

 

When we need ice or nam-soda for a party Madam talks to the lady running the pig and chicken on a stick barrow. An hour later the ice truck turns up with all the necessary stuff, easy-peasy. 

Hey crossy,  last I heard there were about 12 active volcanoes blasting out sulfur dioxide,  carbon monoxide, and co2 amoung other gasses.   They pale in comparison to the miasm you are spewing about climate change.

 

You know that about 10,000 years ago,  most of  north america was covered by a sheet of ice?

The tongue in cheek comment flew over at 38,000 feet then?

Seriously, you may be able to get / have made an adaptor to allow you to re-fill from one of the large CO₂ cylinders used in the bar industry. Start at the brewery supply place (ask you local bar).

 

EDIT Something like this USD 11 ????

That link opened another source of supply, the PaintBall chaps, they use sodastream bottles ????

 

Hey man,  thanks for the tip.   I had totally forgotten about aliexpress.

Talk to your local brewery type guy and get a Coke type machine (without the syrup) then you can call them if you run out of CO2

OR 

Order some CO2 from the beer guy and let him suggest how to adapt.

That's an awful lot of carbonated water in one day. No complications?

It is hot man.   I am a healthy guy. 

I was in my local kitchen supply shop and happened to notice they have the small disposable CO2 cylinders that you use in a soda siphon.

They are stocked there for use in the cream dispensers used by caterers.

Maybe they sell the reusable ones as well.

I won't buy one. I am boycotting the place that makes them.

There are some weird people here.  Next he will want to gather his own salt from the sea.

Happily using a large welding type tank and gauge....along with adapters to carbonate empty 1.25l (or any) soda bottles. Tank lasts around 10 months (2 to 3L per day) costs 250 baht to exchange.

Tank purchase 2000 Baht gauges and bits about 1500.

If you wanted you could with the adapter refill your own sodastream bottles from a weld tank.

Co2 for all uses is bulk tanked and the containers are the only difference.....no special beverage gas.

 

I always loved the granny at the end...Thats fizzy !!!

Believe it or not he will be prosecuted for this. All occupations related to collecting and processing sea salt are in the "reserved for Thais only" list for some peculiar reason.

I had a soda stream in the UK, much cheaper just to buy soda water, threw it away!

You can refill your empty sodastream cylinder at Viza sodastream Bangkok. 300 THB. A new cylinder is 990 THB. You can also send empty cylinders by Kerry for refill. I have a sodastream and use it regularly. Welding C02 in not food grade so I would not use it.

I brought a soda stream with me from the states eight years ago but threw it away after several years of trying and failing to find replacement cartridges.  Now I use a seltzer bottle that just needs a small cartridge, and mix drinks one at a time.

All CO2 is the same, as all O2 is the same. The only difference is the testing on the cylinders and the price charged.

Hey man,  you got any food grade gas?

Burp...sorry.

I was a drunk for a long long time @30 Years,  and about 14 months ago my life changed and I got sober.... I Always had a beer in my hand,  and these days it is soda water and as much as i want.    I actually put apple cider vinegar and stevia in it and it tastes very refreshing.   Maybe i just got used to lots of fluids.     The water is probably good for me,  since it is hot here and i am a very active guy outdoors and sweat buckets.

That's great to hear. 

I wonder if there's any health benefits with soda water ? Your stomach does not suffer?

Well said , those thing are only for country's where you can use the tap water to do it . Otherwise it's not logical . It's a machine to help reduce the use of plastic bottles, so when use it here you need a bottle of water , so better just buy soda at 7/11 .
