We recommend all soda lovers to prepare their own water saturated with carbon dioxide. To do this, you need to purchase the appropriate device. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the rating of siphons, without which it will not work to prepare soda water on your own.
Nowadays, the siphon is no longer as popular as it was during the Soviet Union, when the device could be found in every apartment. In stores, soda was not available in such an assortment as it is today, so people made their own drinks from syrup and soda. Now the counters are filled with water for different tastes and colors, the benefits of which for the body can be argued. That is why most people who monitor their health prefer to independently prepare drinks in the old fashioned way with the addition of juice or other additives.
First of all, you need to unscrew the cartridge at the top, and then install a canister with carbon dioxide injected into it. It should be screwed on strictly along the thread. In order for the gas to penetrate inside and saturate the water, the needle, which is located inside the siphon, must pierce the membrane at a right angle.
