Creating Carbonated Water
CARBONATION
The carbonation in the tank has been designed to a similar level to that in international
soft drinks.
Good carbonation depends on a combination of CO

gas pressure, water pressure,
water quality and temperature.
CREATING CARBONATED WATER
Understanding how it works.
Carbonated water is created by mixing carbon dioxide gas with water in a stainless
steel chamber and is controlled by the following parameters:
1. Temperature. The colder the water, the more the gas can be absorbed
2. Water pumping pressure 75 PSI (4.8bar)
3. CO
2
gas pressure 45 psi (3bar)
Water is pumped into the chamber in the form of a jet which strikes the plate at the
bottom of the tank causing turbulence which in turn causes the gas to be rapidly
absorbed into the water.
