I am not clear on how the co2 cylinder exchange or recharge works. I don't need to buy a new cylinder everytime do I ?

Most stores, more than likely, where you bought it can do an 'exchange' just like your propane tank for your backyard BBQ. You just buy the contents when you turn in your empty co2 for a full one. I understand if you want to buy an extra cylinder it is more expensive to do so. But half the price to do an exchange. Hope this helps.

Some other stores here in texas are staples,target,bed bath and beyond,macys.

HI - You do still pay - but not as much. I go to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bring old cylinder to Customer Service. They give me new cylinder and I pay $15 I think for the small one. Hope this helps. I have been doing it for a year or two. I love it. The best plan is to own two cylinders so you always have a full one.

The Exchange only saves you a few dollars in some area. A new cartridge in my area is $29.00 with a $1.00 off the exchange of the old cartridge, this done when you bring your spent cartridge back to store who sells the co2 cartridge that carries the soda stream products. If I purchase a new one from the vender (Soda Stream) and I have to buy two the cost is $44.98. You purchase two cartridges because you will need to send one back when it's empty and have one ready to use while you wait for the exchange for future purchase. You will find this information from the vender (http://www.sodastreamusa.com) explaining this in detail when ordering replacement cartridge. Hope this help you in your decision.

I have not had to exchange mine yet (just got it a couple of weeks ago) but according to walmart.com you take the empty cylinder to customer service at walmart and they will give you a replacement for $14.97. You can buy a spare cylinder for $30 at walmart so you are not without one when you run out. Then when one is empty you just run it by the store. Again this is just what I have read in the Q&A; at walmart.com http://www.walmart.com/ip/SodaStream-CO-2-Spare-Carbonator-60-Liter/21081324

I haven't had to exchange mine yet but I was just at a Bed Bath & Beyond and saw that you can exchange them for $14.99.

Yes you do have to take the cylinder to Bed, bath and beyond to exchange it for anew one. I think it cost around $18 but it is simple and quick

Some stores here in Texas are Target, Macys , Bed Bath and Beyond, Staples , Office Max. Just take old one in and they swap it out with a full one for approx. $15.00.

You do get a new co2 cylinder every time but you only pay roughly $30 the first time..... after that, you return the co2 cylinder and only pay for a refill..... rsoughly $15

Reviews as well as success rates for 'carry-on' are mixed. So go to: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/compressed-gas-cylinders . You can make up your own mind regarding the charged cartridges of CO2 or NO2. The siphon should be packed unassembled, open for visual inspection.

Has been a while since I worked with this. Believe you can re-key any cylinder you have a key to. Home Depot has this system now -- may be fastest to go by and talk to someone there.

Yes it comes with co2 but most places use HPA tanks which you can either trade at a paintball place or buy one here on Amazon and have both

This product comes with one CO2 cylinder. We were able to have it refilled for less than 4 dollars.

In my climate I changed air filters twice a year. (2 X$8=$16 per year) I will keep my Camry for 10 years (10 years X $16 = $160). The K & N filter was about $50. The recharge spay costs $12 but I get 4 years of refills cleaning the filter twice a year. (2.5 refill per 10 years = $36) Total for K & N for 10 years = $86. Plus my highway mileage with no A/C on with my 4 cylinder Camry went from 28 mpg to 32 mpg with the new filter.

Turn the unit around so you face the back, grasp it and squeeze--so the back half is released. Then the C02 cartridge is exposed. Unscrew it (turn it counter-clockwise) until it drops, and remove it. Take your empty cartridge to Staples and buy a new one and turn in your old one for a credit on your purchase. Also, you might pick up a spare, skinny cartridge to use as a back-up so you are never out.

YOU SHOULD HAVE A CROSS OVER CABLE COMING WITH THIS PUMP, YOU CAN USE IT TO CONNECT THE PUMP + / - TERMINAL WITH YOUR CAR BATTERY. (Red to Red, Black to Black) YOU CAN TRY THIS WAY TO CHARGE THE PUMP BATTERY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO START THE CAR IF YOUR CAR IS NEW, (And you should turn off the pump when charging) YOU CAN CHARGE IT FOR 30 MINUTES AND SEE ANY DIFFERENCE. If your car battery can charge the pump well, then the charger may have problem. otherwise it could be the battery problem. But if you leave the battery empty and without charging back for 3 months. you may have the battery damage. You can use battery recovery charger to help it a little bit. but I am not sure how bad your situation now. It could be another issue, the wire from the charger teminal to battery was damage, you can open the shell of battery box and find out. But if the battery charger light can turn red / green even half second. then it won't be this issue. Since mailing back the pump may cost you more money, I will suggest you can order the parts from ebay (USA). many 7AH Lead Acid battery will cost you about $20 to get them. If your charger has problem. you can send it back and we will replace a new one for you. regards,

The crosman challenger2009 does not come with the connection needed to operate on CO2 . That is an extra.

If you're talking about the CO2 bottles, you can exchange your used bottle for a new one at local retailer for around $15 bucks. Here is a link to the Dealer Locator webpage: http://www.sodastreamusa.com/where_to_buy.aspx

Never attempt to recharge thru the pump. No additional hose is necessary if you have a 3 hose kit w/gauges (Blue/Yellow/Red). After obtaining a full vacuum you should Close the valves (usually Blue & Red) on your hose kit then Disconnect the pump vacuum line (usually Yellow) and attach it to the can using the correct adapter for your R-134a or R-12 can. The adapter is used to pierce the can and allows for storage of any unused refrigerant. Open the valve on the can then open the Blue valve to recharge following the instructions with your hose/gauge kit. Remember to close the Blue valve when you change cans or you will discharge the refrigerant you just added. Sorry if this was a bit more than you asked but maybe it will help someone else as well.

You can recharge the Simple Start from your car, as long as the engine is running or the car battery has enough capacity. See page 10 of the manual for full instructions. BTW, the unit must be powered on to take a charge from the AC adapter or the car.

As far as I know you must replace the batteries, not charge them. And it is poorly designed electrically/electronically to use any type of rechargeable battery. I know as I tired. It drains a rechargeable to darn quick. Alkaline are not much better, even though it was designed for those. I went back to using manual mechanical ones.

Hi Marco. I don't know sbout the oil analyzer. I was looking for a last ditch legal way to recharge without converting to the system. I just shot a little bit in to restore the seals, waited one day then put in the rest. I'm no expert but it worked for me. The A/C isn't as cool as brand new, but now it blows cool instead of hot.

Hi. So with this co2 kit the co2 is actually diffused by contact with the water. After you fill both chambers you will notice that after a few hours the level of water rises. It is an easy co2 kit that requires no other parts. I think it works well.

They have empty and full. The item in the link is for a full. I bought the empty and took it to the local gas dealer and swapped it for a full one with no hassles. I didn't see the benefit of paying to ship a full tank because when you refill it you have to swap it out anyway.
