Now, since we are thinking along the same lines, you could ask a
friendly
local engineering shop to thread the base of the existing bottle and add
a
suitable connector for a feed from a larger "Pb" sized one.
Alternatively a side mounted adapter would work if welded on.
Also if you can remove the top valve you could possibly have a tail
attached
to allow connection to a larger bottle.
Ah - I see where you're going with this...
I would be tempted to go for this approach.
Any thoughts about refilling the Sodastream cylinders from a larger
CO2 bottle ?? Wonder if that's feasible / safe / worth doing ??
as an idea of price. I've bought a pub co2 bottle for my mig welder
(from a welding shop). It cost about £45 for a full bottle and all the
required regulators and pipework (more regulators than you probably
need since i can adjust the flow rate and i dont think a sodastream
would need to - you can possibly just get away with the on/off tap
built into the top of the gas bottle).
It now costs me £12.50 to get the bottle refilled with 4.5kg or so of
gas.
That sounds like a very cost-effective way of buying gas.....
I've got a vague recollection of seeing somewhere on the net (possibly
in the States) where they sold a length of pipe with a 'sodastream'
valve on the end of it - the other end to connect to a high capacity
gas bottle.... must try & remember where that was !
I saw that idea.....Google Paintball gun gas etc
