| ANSWER: Yes. Your carbonated product must be dispensed between 32 to 38 degrees to keep the CO2 gas in your soda. The further you are from this range the more gas leaves the drink. |
| ANSWER: Yes, a 65 + page published installation manual for dispensers and for soda guns comes with every soda system. We term it as "installation for idiots". Both manuals take you step by step through the installation process with easy to understand pictures and diagrams. Also, in both manuals is a section on troubleshooting |
| ANSWER: A 20lb tank is an average size at most commercial facilities and will work sufficiently in home applications. Although not necessary, smaller tanks will work just as well. (ie. 10lbs, 5lbs, etc.) |
| ANSWER: For most home applications, a standard carbonator is sufficient. The larger / fast-flow carbonators are designed for producing high volume product output. They are not necessary for home applications, but will obviously work. |
| ANSWER: Providing your system has no leaks, the average CO2 consumption rate for a household use is 4 to 6 months or approx. 3 five gallon boxes of syrup. |
| ANSWER: 3 1/2' to 4' of BIB hose for each pump to change the box out safely and comfortably is a good rule of thumb. |
| ANSWER: A 5 gallon box of syrup will yield you, on an average, 30 gallons of finished product. |
| ANSWER: Combines CO2 gas & tap water together giving you carbonated water (seltzer) . |
| ANSWER: A Pre-mix system is soda ready to drink (carbonated water & syrup mixed) as if you were buying it in a bottle. Not much savings here. Major syrup distributors sell you the soda in bulky refillable stainless tanks for about what you can buy it for on sale at the local supermarket. Basically glorified soda out of the bottle being dispensed from a faucet. Post Mix is where the REAL savings lies. It is the combination of carbonated water made from a carbonater and BIB syrup mixed together at the fountain head as it is being dispensed into the cup. Average 5 gallon bag-in-box name brand syrup is approx. $60. It will yield about 30 gallons of finished product. Do the math, BIG savings here! |
