I finally loaded the pics, lol... Sorry I hate photobucket so since hbt doesnt host pictures it made it a few extra steps, not a big deal, lol... ANYWAY, here is the system, obviously I cleaned up under the counter, in the picture I hung a curtain over it until the carpenter coupld come over...

It is handy, I have a 2 button gun and a pump so I can add a box of syrup if I wanted but we dont drink soda and I would think it will go bad before we use it and be a waste... My kids will on occasion make soda with home ingredients, I was pretty impressed carbed water, simple syrup, and...

I seen this method, I wouldnt call it "$0", you need a co2 tank, the tubing and fittings, the keg, and a cooler to keep it in, probably $300+ for a single keg, if you want a couple kegs to switch them out it will be obviously more money.. Sorry I havent posted pics yet, but an update it...

Another update, lol Turns out you need 90psi, with the psi down it flattened out the seltzer, its back up around 90psi and now I have it running through the refrigerator with the corney keg in it, THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE, it slowed it down (as well as adjusting it at the gun), made it much...

OK, that is much better, wit hhalf the pressure, PLUS in reading the instructions to the gun (who would have thought of doing that, lol), I found there is a way to add restriction to the flow with a tiny screw, that I also played with and now it is so carbbed it burns your nose...

Its coming out a bit faster than I would expect to see at say a restaurant bar when they pour a soda..., boubles quite a bit when filling the glass...

OK, so I hooked it all up last night, not as carbonated as I thought it would be, but its also not hooked into the after cooler yet, I am waiting for a couple fittings... So it goes from the chiller, to the carbonator, to the gun, and it works.. I can fill a bottle shake it and then it pops...

Yes, so I have a copper chiller that is chilling the water before it goes into the carbornator, then it leaves the carbonator and goes into the corney keg in place of a plate chiller... Then out to the gun... Not sure if this is even going to work, lol.. I already had the cooler under that...

OK, so I obviously should have asked questions first, lol I have the 3/8" fittings for everything now, so its a bit late, lol.. So I need resistance after the corney keg before the wunderbar gun? I was under the impression that the seltzer had to come out cold, wont this 30 feet of line warm...

Thanks guys, so why do I need more line? can I just coil up the extra? The supply lines I am using are 3/8". Does the extra line have to be before the corney cooling keg or after? thanks

So it should work? And what co2 psi should I set it at? anything else I should know?

Thanks for the replies guys, Its about 10 feet of tubing. I tend to over do things, I really just want something that I can walk over and pull the trigger, and want it all to fit under that sink, so a few kegs would be tough... I was actually adding everything up last night, I bought the mini...

Hello, my wife, kids, and I drink a ton of the polar flavored seltzer water, and it gets quite expensive, sine I can drink 2 20oz bottles a day, the kids can match that (16 and 17 year old boys), and my wife will drink 1 at least.. So at $1 a bottle, thats $200 a month on seltzer water ,lol...
