Thanks PepsiBob,

Can you answer the question on syrup?  Is the syrup in pre mix and post mix the same, or is the pre mixed syrup already watered down with the ratio 5 oz of water to 1 oz of syrup?   For post mix I believe it is straight syrup in the box and the water and gas mix together with the syrup while it is dispensed, as Johnie mentioned earlier.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Johnie!  I feel your pain   I have had all my writings disapear too.  Usually, it was because the photo was to large.  I forced the habit of copying everything before I post it.

Thanks for the extra reply!!

Question:  Is the soda bags different than the mix that I will need?  What mix do I need?  The soda bags are just syrup....correct?

Do you mix water and a syrup bag or do you buy a jug of syrup and mix a 5 to 1 ratio?? (5 0z water to 1 oz of syrup)

It's 5:1 for regular soda,  &   5.4/5.5:1 for diet soda

I'll be looking into this and post what I find... Hopefully, I'll have a solution that will correct this issue...

I have a pre mix mech. I feel my tanks with 2 letter bottles. It takes 9 2 letters to feel one tank. You don't realy save any money this way, but hay the bottling comp is about 60 miles from my house ,so in the long run it works out.

How long do the soda from the 2 liter bottles stay good? I would love to have a setup at my house.

The CO2 tank keeps the soda under pressure, so does not go flat.
