Using a CO2 charger depends on the application, but here's a general guideline:

Soda Siphon:

  • Fill the siphon bottle with chilled liquid, following the manufacturer's fill line.
  • Screw the charger holder firmly onto the siphon head, ensuring a good seal.
  • Insert a new CO2 charger into the holder, following the specific instructions for your siphon. Tighten it securely, but avoid over-tightening.
  • Hold the siphon upright and press the lever to release the CO2 gas. The exact number of presses will depend on your desired level of carbonation (consult your siphon's instructions).
  • Unscrew the charger holder and remove the spent charger. Never reuse a CO2 charger.

Inflating Equipment:

  • Make sure your equipment has the appropriate valve for CO2 chargers and any necessary adapters.
  • Consult your equipment's manual for specific instructions on using CO2 chargers for inflation.
  • Generally, you'll screw the charger into the adapter and then connect the adapter to the valve on your equipment.
  • Short bursts are recommended to avoid over-inflation. Check the pressure gauge on your equipment to monitor inflation.

Safety Tips:

  • Never use a damaged or leaking CO2 charger.
  • Keep CO2 chargers away from heat and direct sunlight.
  • Do not puncture or tamper with a CO2 charger.
  • Never point a CO2 charger at yourself or others.
  • After use, dispose of CO2 chargers according to local regulations.
