What I have is just a CO2 tank with regulator and a short hose from

bottles with a hole in the cap and a tire stem inserted. So it
takes a little effort. Fill the soda bottle almost full with water.
Open the valve . The regulator is all ready set to 39 psi. Charge
the bottle with CO2. Charge more bottles, shut off CO2 tank. Come
back later and repeat charging the bottles with gas. THe CO2
disolves in the water and the bottles become soft.

sounds pretty economical.

I do not drink soda, only carbonated water.

First slight correction. The regulator is set to 30 psi Not 39 psi.

You are in some good company. My wife works at the Nemours Mansion. Alfred Du Pont thought like a bunch of us here. The Mansion has two furnaces. And two electric generators. He believed in having full backup. He also had a set up to make carbonated water. I do not remember if it was two complete systems or not. But it had its own room with 220 cu foot CO2 cylinders and a bottle washing station.
