is this tank safe for food use (like with a soda stream)?

Yes, it is safe for food, and yes, for the SodaStream, which is what we use them for. You will need this adapter for use with a SodaStream: Sellution CO2 Tank Paintball Canister Refill Adapter C02 Conversion - Polished Brass We've had ours for a year and have four of these 24oz. tanks. We have the tanks filled at a local welding shop. $4 a tank. Much, much cheaper than the proprietary tank that comes with the SodaStream. Good luck.

That's what I use it for. But I haven't had it scientifically tested or anything. But it sure works great. :-)

I use mine in my sodastream and it works great with no issues. You need an adapter though.
322408
Been using it that way ever since I bought the soda stream. Countless people buy it and use it for that purpose. We are all still alive.

That is what I use it for, Soda Stream. Works great and only cost around $9 to fill. You will need the adapter.

All 4 of the ones that I bought (for my sodastream) were clean and safe for food. When I unscrewed the top and sniffed, there were no odors of solvent or cutting oil, but I rinsed them out thoroughly anyway. Once rinsed, there should be no issues. There have been some complaints posted on this site that some of these bottles have traces of cutting oil and aluminum shavings. That is why I checked mine. Also, be sure to fill your CO2 tank with beverage grade CO2 or at least food grade CO2. (http://www.praxair.com/gases/buy-liquid-or-compressed-carbon-dioxide-gas). Run-of-the-mill CO2 may contain harmful substances. It is OK for paint ball or fire extinguishers, but not to ingest. All 4 of the ones that I bought (for my sodastream) were clean and safe for food.

I'm sure, I've had mine for a while and have not had any problems. I love mine and I will be buying more for my new tank

I would put drinks, a lamp, or food on it, but a 3 gallon fish tank might be risky. It's not a large surface. I would put a fish tank on a larger surface that couldn't get knocked over by accident

I would say yes. As long as it's kept upright, you wouldn't have any problems with a liquid.

The water tank is Polypropylene. Which is generally considered a very good chemical resistant material. It is certainly not cheap plastic. The instruction manual says the following for material: Cap; Porcelain; Base; ABS; Sink; PP; O-Ring; Silicone; Lens; PC. I don't know what essential oils you will be using but I suspect it will be fine with most normal essential oils. Some experts will say that citrus essential oils such as lemon and orange should not be used in a plastic container. But as I said, polypropylene is a tough, chemical resistant material and should be able to easily stand up to dilute citrus oils.

Just wondering what the consensus is in regards to using it as a sodablaster?

I use ours on our home water storage tanks. There's really nothing that could contaminate anything. It's just a hard plastic case and an extension cord. No different than most aquarium devices. If your using it for a aquarium topoff than I would not recommend it though as it has to rise / fall quite a bit to turn on/off. You can control that by how long the cord to the float is but I would say minimum of 3". My tanks drop about 18" before it turns on. There are many ato devices out there like the jbj auto top off that work excellent for fish tanks. It's what I use on my 280g. Hope that helps

I don't think so but if I was thirsty I would not hesitate to do so provided that it was clean of any chemicals. I use it sometimes to fill the pets and birds water bowl with no ill effects. It is plastic and very sturdy. You could contact the company for the exact material used. Hope this helps...........David

I don't think I would add anything to the clean water tank. If you are going to add baking soda, I would just lightly sprinkle it on the carpet and not run it thru the machine as it might cause an issue.

Not sure what you mean but im pretty sure you could store and pump any fluid in here (non edible). I use it for standard gas.

I wouldn't be able to say for sure. But if you plan on using them for a Soda Stream, which is what I bought them for, don't even bother. I purchased two of these and they both had some type of chemical/oil residue inside of them.

according to cottenelle it is septic safe...i do have a septic tank system and have been using it for years and had no problem at all

I would say it is a qualified yes. There is nothing in the hose that makes the water unsafe. However, because the hose has to be "pressurized" to extend, you would have to get your drink from a nozzle and teh stream of water is likely to come out very fast. Hope this helps! Dave

Unless you have it placed next to splatter from a filter or pump I wouldn't worry about it. Of the 3 that I currently have mounted the Intellifeed is by far my favorite. I have a 48 gallon octagon . All three automatic feeders are mounted for the flip up lid at the top of the tank (approx. 12" x 4" ) I travel a lot. I have someone come in and check the fish and tank every 2 days. I've had this feeder mounted for about 4 months now. Love it. The other two feeders are both battery operated. With the power adapter for the Intellifeed I don't have to worry about batteries going dead. If the power goes off and then back on the feeder resets to the default of one morning and one evening feed.

No. This has not use with a SodaStream unit. This, along with a tank/regulator/hose configuration replaces the SodaStream.

No. Here us a link to the FAQ where the manufacturer indicates that the bottle is not dishwasher safe. http://www.sodastream.ca/shop/faq.php

I'm not the manufacturer, but I imagine you could, although my grandson tried to put the soda mix packet in before putting in the soda stream and it spewed out, so that wasn't a good idea. But there was sugar and chemicals in it, so maybe tea is ok.
