Hello,
I have found my old soda stream. It is a Gemini model that I bought
about 15 years ago. Am I right to think that soda stream changed the
design of the gas cylinders (something to do with a different thread)?
If I were to start using it, when my cylinders ran-out would I have to
buy a new machine?
I seem to remember reading somewhere about the controversy caused by
changing the cylinders. I think there was a suggestion you might be
able to either refill the old cylinders (by taking them to BOC) or
perhaps getting an threaded nipple adaptor that would screw the new
cylinder onto the old machine. Has anyone done either of these?
TBH, is it worth doing? I am sure in "the good old days" you could buy
Schwepps concentrates for the soda stream but now you can only get
their own brands and sometimes you can taste the difference. I am
wondering if it is a gadget that I don't really need?
Thanks,
Stephen

models; at the very least, you can trade the old cylinders to cover
the "deposit" on new ones.

serious, they'd be doing something useful like lobbying for this - you
have the water in the tap, so this saves god knows how many ton/miles of
pointless water transportation.

Sodastream, connected it up to a large CO2 cylinder he also
happened to have, and proceeded to gas up 2 litre bottles of tap
water, even cheaper than supermarket value fizzy water.
I think he wanted to try oxygen, but the insolubility was a bit
of a problem ;-)

Try a mix of nitrogen & CO2 to make "creamflow" water.

get the micro gas cylinders/sparklets for them and they

The glass part could be much older but really old ones often had some

Do you mean the small Co2 "Sparklets" Bulbs ?
We found they made excellent Torpedoes after being painstakingly
filled with the traditional weed killer and sugar mixture.
We did not allow for metal fatigue so after a couple of runs one
exploded rather violently.
This had two consequences, The Pet Ducks belonging to my school chums
mother objected with much quacking to find themselves on top of a
water spout and departed her pond for ever , the other is a scar
still visible on my knee to this day from some shrapnel.
I was very fortunate it hit the patella and bounced out again rather
than somewhere softer or an eye, Mother believed me that the damaged
and bloody jeans were the result of a push bike accident.

We thought we had lost the power of speech as well but that was the
temporary loss of hearing due to the very loud bang.
It was about 25-30 years later we finally confessed to my mates Mum as
to why the Ducks left.
Ironically I'm off to her Funeral in 2 hours time.
No sadness really ,she was healthy until recently then things started
to fail rapidly.At a family get together said to her daughter two
weeks before she reached 90 "I don't really want to be 90 and ill" and
died in her sleep that night.

Yeah, me too. Never had a problem with the ones we blew up
inches from our eyes behind a very solid timber barrier made
from tongue and groove floorboards with eye holes drilled in
it, filled with a thick slab of glass with metal mesh over that.
But when we tried one with the bottle filled with oxygen from
an oxy acetylene set, blew that up with one hell of a bang that
no one in the neighbourhood could miss and ended up with a
big chunk of flesh cut by a bit of flying glass.

I just came across this thread, while looking for help with a Sodastream Gemini that I dug up, after it had been in storage for awhile. I was wondering if you (or anyone) could tell me how to remove the gas cylinder to replace it (or refill it), as I cannot find any way to remove the back cover. I presume that there’s some trick that I’m missing, but I’ve run out of ideas!

There is a shortage of carbon dioxide. Less beer being brewed, lots needed for dry ice for vaccine. Hence supply issues.

The running costs of a Sodastream are often are much higher than buying
the equivalent finished product in a supermarket, unless you are into
expensive designer French fizzy water.

In a real ale the Co2 in a cask is natural. The yeast is not killed off
and therefore some secondary fermentation take place in the cask
providing the CO2. For "real ale" in bottles its the same and this is
why you often see a sediment in the bottom of the bottle and why they
should be poured into a glass carefully to avoid disturbing the sediment.
Keg beer sold in pubs, in cans and in the vast majority of bottles the
yeast has been killed off. The product is sterile and lifeless hence CO2
is injected from other sources. In pubs this comes from large cylinders
of CO2 and for bottles and cans it is injected into the finished product
in the same way as that for fizzy lemonade, cola etc., again from bulk
sources.
There are 4 main producers of industrial Co2 in the UK which is the
by-product of fertiliser and bioethanol industries. A few years back
these companies had simultaneous plant closures for maintenance hence a
shortage of Co2 for keg beer and fizzy drinks.
