I am in the final stages of fitting out my game room/bar/home theater, and I think a dispenser would be great! 

Is this unit a decent one for a home bar?  Can I get it running easily?  Is it a decent price?

Let me know soon!  The auction is almost over...

That look really clean & shiny! very well taken care of.  They are easy enough to set up & run. the only snag is unless you have a local bottling plant the will still fill the pre-mix tanks for you, you're on your own, for home use it's fine. but these went out of favor once the post mix "bag-in-box" system arrived,

you can buy the syrup in the bag-in-box from Sams & mix your own (15:1 ratio if I recall correctly)n you'll also have to clean & sterilize the pre-mix tanks before filling. hot soap & water to clean, rinse, & a second rinse with a bleach-water sanitizing mix, that goes for the lines & heads too. flush the wholes system & sterilize it,

I think it would be fun to run in a home bar!    :drinking:
