Why It's Not Recommended To Refill CO2 Cylinders At Home

Carbon dioxide products come in grades and this talks about how pure the gas is. You see, you can’t just go to any store and buy a regular canister of CO2. You have to check the purity of the gas to see if it’s safe to consume. Impurities like ammonia, benzene, carbon monoxide, and many others are lessened when the grade is higher.

Ammonia can cause burns when ingested, while benzene can cause vomiting. Carbon monoxide, on the other hand, can cause difficulty breathing. It’s pertinent to check the grade before buying the product to avoid these horrific accidents. 

Beverage-grade CO2 boasts a remarkable purity of 99.99%, making it the preferred choice for soda companies in crafting their delightful beverages. When selecting a CO2 canister, ensure to inspect the label or consult your local seller for the certificate of purity, guaranteeing the finest quality.

How to Determine if Your Soda Sense CO2 Cylinders Are Empty

Determining if your CO2 canisters are empty is an essential skill to master, particularly if you want to avoid a fizzless soda. Don't fret, as it's simpler than you might imagine, and doesn't involve any complicated tools or expertise.

Firstly, the most obvious sign is an absence or decrease in the carbonation of your beverages. If your drinks are coming out less bubbly than usual, or not fizzy at all, it's a reliable indicator that your CO2 canister is running low or has completely run out. It's a simple and effective method to identify the need for a refill, but it might also mean having to settle for a flat drink.

Next, take into account the weight of the canister. A CO2 canister is approximately 540 grams when empty and should weigh around 920 grams when full. By simply weighing the canister, you can estimate the remaining amount of CO2. This approach necessitates a scale capable of handling at least one kilogram and providing measurements in grams.

Lastly, remember to keep track of the number of liters you've carbonated. A standard CO2 canister should be able to carbonate roughly 60 liters of water. If you've been keeping a tab on your carbonation consumption, it should give you a fair idea of when to expect your canister to run out.

Knowing when your CO2 canister is empty is key to ensuring a consistent supply of bubbly beverages. By using these methods, you can avoid unexpected fizz droughts and ensure your drinks stay as effervescent as your spirit!

How to Make Sure CO2 Cylinders Are Ready for Shipping

Have trouble with making sure that your canister is fully empty before sending it back? Here are a couple of things that you can do in order to make sure that you are taking the correct and safest precautions to do so. 

1. There is a center pin at the top of your bottle, you will want to make sure that you are facing it away from you or anything you could potentially harm in case there is still a little CO2 in there. Doing this outside would be best.
2. Take a spoon, and decompress the canister from the center of the pin on the top of the bottle. This is to ensure that any CO2 that is left is gone and safe for you to store or ship back. If nothing comes out, then the canister is empty already. 
3. After decompressing the canister, you will want to take the cap that comes with it and make sure that you are twisting it on to make sure that it is closed and secure for being shipped back out.
