How does a soda cold plate work?
Stainless steel cold plates are kept covered with ice and/or circulated with chilled glycol to maintain a constant near-freezing temperature. As the soda, beer or whatever beverage flows through the cold plate’s many feet of internal tubing, it is chilled through contact before the drink is dispensed.

What should CO2 pressure be for soda?
The High Pressure Regulator (photo A) controls the amount of CO2 gas your system uses to make carbonated water. Your High Pressure gauge should be set at 105 PSI for standalone carbonators, 95 PSI for remote refrigeration carbonators and 75 PSI for Bevariety™ dispensers and cold carbonators in counter electric units.
How long does a box of soda syrup last?
The manufacturer stamps “enjoy by” date of four weeks on the package, mine lasts six months. I’ve never had one go bad or change flavor, so it depends on how you choose to believe the “use by” date. Hope this helps you. For me, the 2.5 gallon box is the way to go with my Soda Stream and Coke syrup combo!
Where do you find the ports on a soda fountain?
They will typically list on the back which are the primary and which are the secondary ports.
Where do you put the gas line in a soda fountain?
At any rate, you can see the gas line (entering from the left side, lower bit of tubing.) It makes its way through each of the T junctions to the next, and also to the syrup pumps themselves. Once that is done, mount the board on the wall. You do not need to have the pumps below the syrup, as they will “suck” on the bag.
How is caustic soda stored in a tank?
General Storage Guidelines for 50% Caustic Soda Solution: Product should be stored between 85° to 100°F (29° to 38°C). Over time, precipitation of calcium and magnesium hydroxide, carbonates and oxalates will occur. Tank discharge should be elevated at least 1 ft (30 cm) above the tank bottom to minimize entrainment of sediment.
Where does the carbonated water go in a soda fountain?
The “carbonated water” inputs both feed a “common” tube that connects to all the fountain heads except for the ones that have direct lines (plain water). The labels have nothing to do with whether or not you use carbonated vs non-carbonated drinks in each line.
