5 lb. Aluminum Co2 Tank Compressed Gas Air Cylinder

I bought this as I was tired of paying hefty fees for gas cartridges my name brand CO2 water infusing product. Using this, a regulator and a generic infuser provides an economic alternative that costs a fraction of what I used to pay and also lets me get more carbonization in my drinks. This tank is very nice. It is solid, holds a lot of CO2 and looks great. Very happy with the purchase.

It’s a little pricey (though that seems to be the way these things go) but has met my needs for refilling a Drinkmate CO2 bottle. I have had this filled two or three times now, with no problems. The quality seems good, though I do wish the knob were metal instead of plastic, which seems like an unnecessary cost-cutting move. But yeah, this plus a simple adapter equals saving a ton of money on your CO2 needs. Go for it.

I was a bit skeptical due to some reviews showing hydro test dates being 1.5+ years ago. However, this wasn't my experience. Mine shipped with a test date of April 2023 (as shown in picture). 2 months old. Not bad at all. I haven't put pressure in it yet, so haven't had the opportunity to test for leaks. However; given the quality, I expect it to do just fine. The only grievance I have is the plastic knob. It is a high quality, thick plastic so it shouldn't be a problem. Metal would have been ideal, but this is a preference and doesn't warrant deducting a star from the review considering the price and ship time (1-day). Overall, great looking and great build quality. Getting it filled tomorrow, so I will update my review if something goes wrong.

Ships from Amazon.com - Sold by Amazon.com *Update - It's NOT a Siphon Tank, You will have to Invert it (place it facing valve down at 45 degree, so the liquid CO2 can be filled into your small tanks) I went with the Kegco 5lb CO2 tank instead of the other ones here on Amazon base on the overall looks, reviews and cost. Also that this came Next Day via Prime. Mine is just as pictured, well package, no damage. It does have a stamp date of 02/2021 (Purchase on May 26, 2022). After 5 yrs from stamped date, you will have to get it re-tested ($35-$45 at a Fire Extinguisher location) with a New stamp or just do a trade-in when at certain CO2 locations that only do exchanges. I did a lot of research on my area and found 2 location (one is 35 miles ($15 to re-fill), one is 14 miles ($20 to re-fill)) away from me that Re-fills CO2 tanks with Food grade CO2 while you wait. My usage for this tank is to refill my Drinkmate & Sodastream CO2 canisters that came with the unit. I'll start with this 5lb for now, might get a 10lb later or upgrade to a 20lb but that might be to large & heavy to carry. Why not direct connect them to the CO2 tank itself? Because I would need a Regulator and set it to 12 PSI or else the Drinkmate & Sodastream can break under high pressure. Many people have had their units fail and not understand why.

Update: I received a replacement and it is beyond perfect. It came in a special branded box within the shipping box. The item had a protective sleeve to keep the exterior free of scratches or other damage. The certification date is just a few months old. And it looks exactly like the photos in the item description. (See comparison photo) I have changed the rating from one star to four stars. I would have given it five stars if I did not need to request a replacement and also deliver the old one to be shipped back. Fortunately, I did not need the item urgently. Original review: A big reason I chose this item was that the way it was pictured was very attractive compared to similar items. I am going to be using this in a residential kitchen and appearance is probably more important to me than would be for a business who would store this item away from customer view. Also, as mentioned in by many, many other reviewers, the certification date (I didn't even know this was a thing!) is over two years old! Does this mean if I go to fill it they will not do so after 5 years as some reviewers have indicated? I mean, if it costs about $100 and could potentially last 5 years does that mean I'm losing $20 of value for every year old ($40?). I'm going to exchange it and hope that it meets my expectations. In terms of appearance. I'm not going to waste additional time taking pictures, but I can tell that it has not been polished, has no logo, and the top part looks to be made of a completely different, brown metal. If the appearance I was expecting would have been a 10/10 I would rate what I got as a 4/10.

This is my portable confetti blower! I take it to my Dj Events and it works amazing.

Good seller for shipping and good quality materials.

Tank arrived on time and was as expected, good quality and no apparent problems with it’s operation.

Un tanque con una gran estética y una funcionalidad indiscutible. Lo utilizo para un acuario plantado, a través de un regulador y válvula ZRDR además de un difusor Aquario. Creo que no lo venden en línea a mejor precio, y por su calidad, claro que lo recomiendo.

Justo lo que dice la publicación lo llene aquí por una tienda de peces 250 pesos y quedo bien para mi acuario muy buena calidad

Me sirve para lanzar co2 en el antro.

Buena calidad. Solo es difícil en la cdmx encontrar quien llene. Pero fuera de eso buena calidad precio.
