Excellent Tutorial and very professionally presented. Just purchased one of these adaptors after searching everywhere for a female connection on both ends to connect my BOC type 30 D tank to a soda stream tank. Thanks for the tips 👍👍

really helpful explaining how the newer valves work. Well done. thanks!

Excellent public speaker. Well presented. Should come to US and tour professionally !!

Thanks so much for this tutorial! It explained why I wasn't getting a fill!

Super video. You solved my problem. During refilling I was opening the valve on the large host cylinder too fast, and, as you showed in your video, this was causing the valve in the new-style sodastream canister to close shut, thus preventing filling.

Thank you very much explaining why the latest cylinders valve design makes problems filling up. Been surfing the net for some hours. Found your video on a German posting: “Bei ca. 5:30 Minuten erklärt der Junge auf die Unterschiede der Ventile und wie man entsprechend unterschiedlich bei der Befüllung vorgeht. Viele Grüße, Martin” …..And he also posted your KZfaq weblink. Now it works. Again thank you. Fritz

Thanks Kee, I've just used the adapter for the first time and filled two bottles following your video. I'm surprised how much I was able to get into each cylinder.....416g into a standard 400g standard cylinder, and 339g into a 330g starter cylinder. Both chilled to -20c, filled from a 6kg host. A very handy piece of brass!

Wow what an incredibly clear video….big fan of kegland now just because of this!!

Awesome instructions and advice Kegland!

Best explanation on how to fill the co2 of a soda stream, thank you!!

explains great about opening the valve just a little for slow fill, worked well for me, otherwise the soda stream tank closes if opened to fast and wont fill, that is what happened to me, the other guys don't mention that important thing

Living in Manitoba Canada, -35c is easy in January to 'chill' the cylinders!

Somebody has a hard science background. Cheers guys great content, great products!

Adding a second o-ring to the bleed valve did the trick for me. Still some gas leaking between the thread of the adapter and big bottle, thread was very tight, guess i should have tightened it more, but worked.

If you really want to fill the Sodastream cylinder to full capacity, just do it twice. Freeze the cylinder in the freezer, then follow the instruction here and fill it up as much as you can. Then put it back in the freezer again so the cylinder and the CO2 gas that has fill up the cylinder to 80-90% capacity is at freezing temperature, then follow the refill instruction from here again. And if you weight the cylinder this time, you will see that it is at full capacity. This is the best method to ensure that it is fill to 100% capacity, even if it might be a hassle freezing the cylinder twice. Btw. Do not take too long to close the valve of the refill tank. If you take too long, the Sodastream cylinder will absorb the ambient heat from the room and increase the temperature of the Sodastream cylinder thus increase the pressure inside the cylinder. The higher pressure inside the cylinder will push the CO2 gas inside the cylinder back into the refill tank to equalize the pressure between the two, thus resulting in less CO2 gas inside the cylinder.

Well explained!

Congrats for the very well detailed video!

Any advailable tube and fitting to simply hook the big cylinder to the sodastream and not deal with the refilling ?

Do you have the US version in stock. I couldn’t find it on your website. Part # KL07160?

Thanks for this great tutorial, I'm about to try this for the first time today. Any minimum recommended time to freeze the bottle before refilling it ?

Perfect explanation. Thanks

Can I fill a 130L soda stream cylinder with this adapter?

Great video it help to solve my problem!

I'm filling sodastream bottles from a full 8.3kg no dip tube CO2 cylinder, it doesn't seem to have an RPV valve. I've put your easy fill valves on the sodastream bottles and I'm putting the bottles in the freezer. I'm releasing the residual gas from the sodastream just before I fill them, I hold the cylinder upside down for filling. The fill I get is around the 300gm mark, is that as good as it gets? Just curious, its not a problem.

Great information thank you

Excellent video!!! Do KegLand 6Kg cylinders come without a dip tube? I ask just to confirm that they must be turned upside down too.

Well this was an excellent video. Thank you.

I know it will use a bit of gas but wouldn’t opening the bleed valve/bolt on the side of the soda stream valve head chill the bottle down rapidly while filling it with some gas? If one wants to get serious you could cascade the gas.

great piece of information! Thanks for sharing this

Thanks for the info on the SS valve. I've been having a hell of a time trying to fill them.

I had a guy come in today asking for a way to do this! Do you guys happen to also have an adapter that would make the larger tank replace the soda stream instead of having to refill the smaller tank?

Hi thanks for this clear vid, im a airgun collector and just purchased some old CO2 match rifles / pistols, (Walther CGM, Feinwerkbau C62) how do you time the filling for each cylinder, is there an average time for an amount of cc, do you hear the speed of filling go slower or do i have to get a (Tara) scale and flexible hose and weight the filling.

Well done, sir.

Thanks everyone. I was even trying to leave the relief valve open with a plan to close it as soon as gas started to transfer. Just kept blowing the O ring. I'll try leaving the soda stream bottle a little loose to start.

will this adapter work with a CGA 320 bottle?

I was having a hard time getting the Sodastream canister to fill, even with opening very slowly and releasing pressure. What I found eventually worked with reliability is to loosely screw the Sodastream canister to the adapter so gas can escape when you open the CO2 tank, then slowly tighten the Sodastream canister and it will stay open and fill.

Hi. Can I get one of these adapters in the USA? I see your website doesn't allow shipping to there. Thanks!

Hi, will this adapter work with the 450g KegLand brand CO2 bottles? Or only with SodaStream bottles? Cheers

Excellent vid...cheers

@kegland What regulators do you use to then use the Co2 in the sodsastream cylinder?

where do I buy this adapter?

Hi guys, I filled as per the video, tried to bleed the gas connector but it kept going. Went to unscrew the bottle and it was just spewing gas. Ended up fully unscrewing it whilst leaking...the valve seemed to be stuck open. Any advice on how to prevent that?

This is such a great explanation, thank you for making this! How do you know which the can is full and when to turn it off and detach?

Do the 6kg cylinders also not have a "dip tube" and thus also need to be inverted?

I have the connector but it’s been a pain to get more than a short sound. Took it off but noticed the pin won’t move anymore, any clue as to why the pin is now stuck down? I have the main bottle from you guys and the direct adapter so using that too, I just wanted to get the the hand of the refiller adapter also :) I may swap the bottle out of the pin is stuck down

I have had a slightly different experience in using my adapter. I follow the steps as per the video however I found that I tighten the adapter all the way to the CO2 bottle which is fine and then I hand tighten the pre frozen sodastream cylinder to the adapter. If I tighten the sodastream cylinder it all the way the gas doesn't flow so I loosen the sodastream cylinder (about an eigth of a turn) with the CO2 turned on and I can hear it start to fill. I only slightly crack the CO2 cylinder to get the gas flowing and I leave it upside down on a bench (I have a six kg CO2 Cylinder) and it takes about ten minutes to fill. Midway through the fill I check to see if the gas is still flowing as obviously there is a bit off back pressure so I increase the CO2 flow slightly so I can hear it running again. After ten or so minutes I check it and if there is no gas running I increase the pressure on the CO2 bottle again and if there is no obvious flow I turn off the CO2 and disconnect the SodaStream bottle. Doing it this way I can get the total weight of the refilled bottle to 1145g. A factory bottle filled is 1180g. One thing to note which I don't think is in the video is that if you partially fill the bottle and the safety valve goes off I don't think you can continue to fill the bottle, you either have to use the gas in it or empty it out. You have to empty it before you start to fill it in the beginning also. Hope this helps.

good information, thanks kee..........can i use the freedom one soda stream adapter hose during the transfer.......may make it easier, cheers.......

Why should I remove the RPV from the cylinder valve?? Isn’t this defeating the purpose of having an RPV in the first place??

How can you tell if your gas bottle has dip tube and are these available in the uk, Thank you

-40 or -50 will give the best fill? So I’ll just fill it up outside here in Canada in the winter.

i want to buy one

Can you use a co2 fire extinguisher to chill the sodastream cylinder.?

Thank you. Is this suitable for Terra machine cylinders?

I Purchased a 20 pound CO2 cylinder tank (with dip tube) for refilling my 130 L and 60 L Carbonators. I watched your KZfaq video and learned a lot. I have an adapter valve that connects to both my host cylinder and the smaller Sodastream cylinders (I've put my soda stream cylinders in the freezer prior to filling as you suggested.) I’m using a scale and never get more than four or 5 ounces into my 60L cylinders or 9oz in my 130L tanks . I’m wondering why. Any suggestions?

Hi, after refilling i unscrewed the bottle and the gas goes off the bottle. The valve doesn't hold the gas anymore in the bottle, seems like it is broken. I tried again few times and it is always the same think, whatever i manage to put in the bottle cannot stays in anymore. ANy idea how to fix the valve ?

most shops will fill the soda stream bottles if you bring your adapter as most shops dont have them but are happy to fill them up

how do you know when the cannister is full?

best youtube video ever!

Can you demonstrate which o-rings/washers go where from that brass valve kit from amazon? It's not clear at all

Thanks mate! I was opening way too fast. Great tutorial! Thumbs WAY up. :)

Hi, here is my setup: Sodastream bottle (old valve)-> adapter (same as in video) ->RPV cylinder I tight all components as hard as I can to avoid leaks and open the cylinder valve. CO2 starts to flow to my bottle, but in a few seconds (3 or so) gas starts to leak through the small relieve pressure valve (labeled as 250 bar) in the bottle. Then, I close the cylinder valve and manage to unscrew the bottle not to lose all the CO2 inside it (notice than when released from the adapter no more CO2 is leaked). When weighed it is only roughly 100gr heavier than empty (850gr). Any clues why CO2 is leaking through the small 250bar valve when connecting to the adapter->cylinder?

Is it possible to use this adapter to connect to a regulator and serve beer as well? Or do I need 2 adapters if I want to refill and serve? Cheers

PS Is c02 sensitive and dangerous to store? Does the can have a shelf life? i am hoping to find somewhere to buy my own and an adapter Canadian tire gives a 16.00 Canadian, discount if i return my empty can So it`s 20.00 Canadian Is that a good deal compared to buying a much larger can and doing my own? If its somehow sensitive or dangerous i likely would not do it,as i have my grand weans here a lot Cheers

Nice guy ☺

Hi, what is the difference between this adapter, and the one with manual regulators

How does the factory fill these small (489g) CO2 bottles? do they freeze them over night as well, since there is no bleed port? If i bring the bottle and adapter to a gas supplier, wont they need to freeze the tank to get any real product transfer?

Is it possible to buy the old style Sodastream cylinder valves and change out the new style for the original style?

Hi! Does the adapter have a pin on the side where you screw in the sodastream bottle?

What’s the cost breakdown? How much does it cost per soda stream cylinder, when u factor in the cost of the big one, adaptor and refilling the big cylinder????

Now, show us a vidio on how to fill the new style bottles used for Sodastream Terra models. Thanks

bit confused over the RPV. You fully removed it in the video, but, your website PDF document titled " CO2 Gas Cylinder RPV Adjustment" shows how to remove, adjust it, then reinsert back into bottle. I interpret that PDF document as requiring the RPV to go back into the gas cylinder. Can you please clarify?

When I slowly open my source tank, air comes gushing out of the sodastream bottle side. I've tried with 1 washer, 2 washers and no washers. I can't get a clean seal. Any ideas?

How do you know when the soda stream tank is full?

How will you know when its full? Will it make that same "pop" noise that it made when you went too fast?

Checked your website and I don't see the American thread type available

how do i know when receiving cylinder is as full as it's going to get?

I have a #20 lb. C02 tank, do I have to invert it like a small one you are using?

is it possible to overfill the sodastream tank using this method?

Where can I get the device with the American threading (KL07160)? It isn't on your website.

Do you sell adapters for quick connect the new pink bottles ?

Please!!! Can I use this adapter and technique for soda stream TERRA???

what if I've followed all the directions exact but I cannot hear the air transfering?

Hi. How do you stop it from overfilling? Or does it just naturally stop itself?

Dear KegLand, I have a large food grade CO2 cylinder with a double gate valve and pressure gauge set up and a flexible-hose to connect to my soda stream cylinder. I screw the soda stream cylinder onto the flexible-hose and fill my soda stream cylinder easy but on removal as I’m screw the cylinder off the flexible hose their is leakage from the soda stream bottle as the centre pin is depressed on removal. I have to try to do it very quick. Do you or anyone have a solution to the unscrewing leakage problem?

Hey guys, I've got a feeling I overfilled my latest Sodastream cylinder.. it's weighing 1300grams after the fill , about 80 grams more than it should. Is there a risk with connecting this to the Sodastream machine? Should I purge some gas before I hook it up? Cheers.

I filled a sodastream bottle from the freezer and left in the kitchen in the warm, the safety valve blew out on the bottle when it warmed up, can I assume this is not advisable?? Maybe the the pressure goes up when the bottle warms up?

I’m using the smaller sodastream cylinders. The ones that make 30L of soda. The cylinder holds 270g of CO2. How many times could a 3kg cylinder fill this? Is it basically 3kg divided by 0.27kg = 11 fills? Or due to residual pressure in the main tank you only get say, 9 fills as an example?

U.K distributor ??

Kegland, is it really necessary to remove the refilling adapter from the cylinder and replace the RPV each time? Can I just leave the refilling adaptor on the cylinder without using the RPV?

So I get it filled but when releasing the back pressure after fill, the cylinder seems to freeze the valve open . How can I fill and keep it from freezing

Does the refillable bottle comply with ISO 10297 valve compliance?

Okay so i stumbled upon the following issue: I tried filling a soda stream cylinder which i cooled in the freezer for about an hour or 2. Using a similar setup but i have an adapter with a high pressure hose attached. The cylinder is standing on a scale while i am filling it up so i can exactly see how much it weighs. With the cooled cylinder i manage to almost fully fill it up. (Which you dont want to do completely because the gas will expand a little more when it reaches room temperature). So when i filled it for about 80% i close the big tank, use the bleed valve and take the cylinder off. While doing this i noticed the soda stream valve (newer disk version) keeps leaking gas. I tried to look this up on the internet but could not find a solution for this problem yet. This happened twice already with 2 different cylinders.. both with the new disk valve. I somehow think this is a build in temper-proof valve which soda stream now uses to force customers to swap the empty cylinders for a new one for the ridiculous price they’re asking.. Has anyone else encountered the same problem i just described and maybe found a solution to solve this issue? Excuse me for my spelling mistakes by the way. Please like this comment so more people can see!! Hope to hear back from someone!:) Peace.

Is it working with the new version of Sodastream Duo Gaz bottles ?

How do i know if my host cylinder has a diptube

I grabbed one of the cheaper SodaKing bottles, and I'm having a hell of a time trying to fill it. I can only get about 40g in when empty. Any idea's if these are different? Should I freeze it for longer (put in freezer for about 30mins when it had 40g in it and got another 2g). Don't hear any c02 transfer after 40g.

I tried it but it wouldn't fill up. Only a tiny amount gets into the cylinder then nothing happens. My cylinder is huge one, used in pubs, so didn't turn it upside down. Not sure what is wrong.

We can not get this to work no matter what we try. We have purchased the adapter noted in this video and the hose adapter with regulator. neither work. what r we doing wrong?

how many soda stream bottle refills are people getting with a 2.6 kg cylinder

Is there any chance of the Sodastream bottle exploding? My local gas merchant told me not to risk filling it myself. Said there was very little give in the sodastream bottles and it could be very dangerous.

So I take it by inverting the feed bottle you're actually filling the Soda bottle with liquid CO2 & not gas? Hence the need to freeze the bottle to reduce any "flashing".
