Soda Terra Machine Adaptador de CO2 de conector rápido, manguera de acero inoxidable compatible con Terra DUO Art Gaia Soda Series (60 pulgadas)

Makes a nice connection between the tank and the soda stream. No leaks as far as I can tell. Make sure you have a big adjustable wrench or a standard co2 tank wrench when screwing it into the tank, I need to be very tight

Perfect. No leaks. Excellent quality.

This kit is worth the cost and effort IF you use your soda stream on a regular basis.If you just use occasionally, you may want to stick to the expensive CO2 refill bottles made for the machine.I found a real Soda Stream maker at Goodwill for $12! It came in original box with one 60L tank. There were no flavorings or user manual, but you can easily find both online.This kit worked perfectly for my TERRA model that uses PINK top QUICK DISCONNECT bottles. Should work just as well for other models that use QUICK CONNECT tanks.Although the 60L bottles are lightweight and convenient, they are expensive. Refilling these little bottles can be done with other kits, but most people exchange them (like propane).This kit allows you to directly connect a larger CO2 tank directly to your machine.First I had to locate a dealer that sells FOOD GRADE CO2. Just like propane, you will need to BUY a tank first, then take your larger tank to get filled. Once you have a tank, you just pay for gas only afterward.I purchased a 5 lb tank for about $70, then they filled it with CO2 for about $24. From here on out, I will be paying JUST for the gas, and when you compare, you get about 5 regular soda stream bottles worth of gas from a 5 LB tank. You can save even more by purchasing GAS in bottles larger than 5 LB.Once all is purchased, you just put the BRASS colored screw on fitting to the tank. You MUST use a wrench because hand-tightening will leak! Once secure, just open your Soda Stream from the back, remove the 60L bottle, and slip the quick connect fitting into the place where the bottle top goes. With this hose in place, you can leave the back OFF, or you can drill a hole into the back cover of soda machine and pass hose through it.Some tips:Open and close valve slowly when opening gas bottle.Listen for leaks! The kit has a washer installed, AND a spare for later.After making your soda, CLOSE bottle valve and blow off pressure from line by using the remaining gas in line to making another bottle of soda.

OverallI recommend this product. It lets you use your SodaStream with its proprietary fittings with a standard CGA320 CO2 cylinder that home beer brewers use. No regulator is needed as the SodaStream Terra comes with a built-in regulator. I confirmed this with SodaStream's customer service.ConstructionLooks well-built, with metallic construction all around. I think the hose made from a stainless steel braid. The fittings look like brass.ConnectionsThe part that goes into the SodaStream works much like those SodaStream cylinders. There's nothing to tighten down on this end into the SodaStream. You just slip it in. There is a quick disconnect sleeve, though I don't use it. It's hard to get it once the SodaStream retaining clip goes over the fittings anyway. I suppose this is in case you want to relocate the entire setup. Moving it in parts is easier than a whole.The male fitting that goes to the CGA320 CO2 tank needs to be tight! Otherwise, you will have a small leak. I thought I had tighten it down when I first installed the fittings. Whenever I turn on the valve to make some soda water. I would feel cold air against my hand. Being a CO2 nob, I thought this "cold air" was just the valve getting cold from the sudden inrush of CO2 into the hose, lowering the temperature of the air around my hand.Over time, this leak worsened. I started feeling more coldness and eventually air. That's when I realized I needed to tighten the fitting even more than I had with my crescent wrench.Close Valve After Every UseThis brings me to another point. When I'm done making soda water, I close the valve on the CO2 cylinder side and bleed the air out through the SodaStream. I do this for safety. For example, the hose and/or fittings can fail. If they fail, this means I just lost all the CO2 in my tank. This vents into the kitchen. I want to avoid asphyxiation. I know asphyxiation is low, given the large volume of the kitchen space, compared to the CO2 gushing out. Still, I close the valve after every use.Regulator?No regulator is needed to regulate the sudden outrush of CO2 gas into the SodaStream. The SodaStream itself comes with a built-in regulator to prevent sudden rises in pressure and explode, causing injury to the user (think bomb with cheap, plastic parts that the SodaStream). This is according to the SodaStream customer service rep that I spoke with over chat.What Else Do I Need?Besides a CO2 tank, this hose is the only other thing you need to convert your SodaStream machine to use the CO2 tanks that home beer brewers use.CostThe cost of a 5 lb tank of CO2 is $30 per refill. The cost to subscribe to SodaStream's service for the same amount of gas is about $111! It makes sense to spend some money upfront to get this system.Overall, I spent about $222 in upfront costs to get myself set up, not including the SodaStream machine. I spent about $148 on a 5 lb CO2 tank with gas, an end table ($40.95) on which to place my SodaStream machine. Underneath the table, I placed the CO2 cylinder. The hose was $39 as it was during Amazon Prime.Break-Even AnalysisThis sounds expensive, until you do the break-even analysis. You start getting your money back on the third refill, with a +$50 gain. Each refill nets you 5 lbs of CO2. Of course, it depends on how often you use the machine. If you use little CO2, you might break even after several years. Is it worth it to you at this point? Would you be better off subscribing to SodaStream so that your money is free do to other things? Only you can answer the question.For me, I have noticed that I drink a lot more water now that I did, before getting this setup together. I don't like to drink flat water, which means I drunk little water. Bad for the body in general. With this setup, I find myself drinking about a liter a day now. I just love the "bite" and the fizz of carbonated water.ConclusionI recommend getting this hose. This helps you to save money in the long run. Otherwise, you will spend dollars to save pennies.

Bought this for my soda stream and it was super easy to setup and it works great
