Guide to spare parts and maintenance of the water carbonator

Available components

Among the spare parts we offer are filled or refillable CO₂ cylinders, ACME fittings / special threads, safety valves, caps, O-rings, dedicated dispensers / taps, gas release mechanisms, cylinders, support brackets, and maintenance accessories. Specialized sources and industry shops confirm that these are the most requested components for home and professional carbonators. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

How to choose the right spare part

  1. Brand, model, and code: essential for checking compatibility of cylinders, valve connections, and dispensers.
  2. Type of cylinder connection: ACME, specific thread; the correct connection is essential for safety. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  3. Valve and pressure: the nominal pressure of the cylinder/valve must be compatible with the carbonator; damaged valves or worn seals cause leaks.
  4. Material of components: use certified food-grade materials for all parts in contact with water and gas; stainless steel, certified NR/Silicone seals, etc.
  5. Dispenser / tap: the nozzle / dispenser must have an appropriate gas release system, often with special seals or syringe taps.

Recommended maintenance

  • Regularly check cylinders and connections: O-ring seals, threads, any signs of corrosion or damage.
  • Replace seals and caps if you notice gas leaks or odors; even small leaks can be dangerous or inefficient.
  • Clean the dispenser and tap with warm water and mild detergent; avoid aggressive cleaners on seals or painted surfaces.
  • When the cylinder is empty or damaged, replace it with a certified cylinder of the correct type.
  • If the carbonator has mechanical components (levers, pressure systems), lubricate where indicated by the manufacturer to maintain smooth operation.

Common problems and how to solve them

  • Carbonator does not carbonate or weak gas: insufficient cylinder pressure, clogged or worn valve; also check seals.
  • Gas leaks or CO₂ smell: compromised seals, poorly tightened cylinder connection, or defective valve.
  • Dispenser hard or difficult to operate: dirty mechanism parts, damaged caps, or deformed lever.
  • Variable fizziness instantaneously: water temperature too high; gas flows poorly; cylinder not cold enough.
  • Cylinder does not fit / loses locking: incompatible connection or worn threading.

Quick FAQs

What type of CO₂ cylinder is needed?

It depends on the carbonator: many use cylinders with ACME connection, others use specific threads. Check the brand, model, and the cylinder label. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

How long does a CO₂ cylinder last?

It depends on the frequency of use and the amount of carbonation: for moderate home use, it can last several weeks; if you use it often, consider refillable cylinders or larger capacity ones.

Can I use non-original fittings?

Yes, as long as they are certified, with suitable seals and compatible connections to avoid leaks or malfunctions.
