Connecting sodastream to regulator.

[bez]

I had the wrong regulator fitting to fit my sodastream bottle. I bought an adaptor but it has a hole in the side and Shen I connect the two gas glows quickly out if a hole in the adaptor so I undo it. Any help

I have two adaptors one with a hole (never notice) one without. Both work. Wear a glove a tighten the apapter to the regulater first and then then Sodastream bottle to the Adaptor as quickly as you can. There is some co2 emissions but when tight it should stop.

It doesn’t seem to stop. I lost mist of the bottle I reckon

Send another picture of your Adaptor please with a view into the Adaptor.

It's not like mine which connect to mini regulaters. I think you need to adjust "plunger" but I'm not sure how. Try going on YouTube and putting in Sodastream adaptor adjustment.

I’ve looked at it again and in the back is a screw thread which pushes valve bit in and out. So I’ve pulled it out. That makes be it.

Sorted. There was a screen that needed loosening in the adaptor. Coolio. It’s now showing just under 1000 psi.

Well done that man.

Can you explain that in a bit more detail as I had the same problem as you and gave up trying to sort it. As I screwed in the Soda Stream bottle it just continually let the CO2 out of the bottle?

Sure. If you look at the back there is a small screw fitting. So by loosening that the pointed valve head that releases the gas is less protruding. So basically you adjust it so the cylinder makes a seal just before opening the cylinder. So if you loosen it too much when the regulator and cylinder are attached no gas will flow. So by trial and error you tighten it a bit at a time until gas is release. Either au at this point it wills quiet gas so you have to tighten it quick See photo

Did it work then. Great.

Yes it worked after a bit of adjustment and some loss of CO2, as you had witnessed but got there in the end, Many thanks
