Carbonated Water Maker Reviews

TL;DR

  • No specific reviews on carbonated water makers were found in the discussions. However, general advice for selecting and using such devices can be inferred from related topics.

Considerations When Choosing a Carbonated Water Maker

While there are no direct reviews of carbonated water makers in the provided discussions, some general considerations can be drawn from similar product discussions. Users often emphasize the importance of understanding the difference between "resistant" and "proof" when it comes to product features [5:1]. This principle can be applied to carbonated water makers as well, where understanding the specifications and limitations of a device is crucial.

Maintenance and Usage Tips

In discussions about maintaining other types of equipment, users suggest methods to ensure longevity and optimal performance. For instance, using distilled water and minimal additives can prevent residue build-up, which could be a useful tip for maintaining a carbonated water maker [1:1]. Additionally, ensuring that all components are clean and free of wear can help avoid issues like water marks or mechanical failures [1:6].

User Experience and Expectations

From the discussions, it's clear that user experience can vary widely based on expectations and usage habits. For example, some users have learned the hard way about the limitations of "water-resistant" products [5:3]. Similarly, when selecting a carbonated water maker, one should consider what features are truly necessary versus those that are marketed but may not meet practical needs.

Recommendations Beyond Discussions

For those seeking a carbonated water maker, it would be beneficial to look at dedicated review sites or forums specifically focused on kitchen appliances. Consider factors such as ease of use, carbonation levels, CO2 cartridge availability, and customer service reputation. Brands like SodaStream are popular and frequently reviewed, offering a good starting point for research.

Okay I shot this specifically to be printed so I was very careful to use distilled water as well as a wetting agent (Arista b/w). I still ended up with huge water stains. I'm going to take the individual frames I want, rewash them and hand blow each frame clean, but does anyone have ideas going forward. I used both gloved finger squeeze and just hang dry on different rolls and got a nearly equal amount of water residue.

Side note I used the Barry Thornton 2 step process for the first time on these and am very impressed with the detail in the blacks as well as highlights, with a split filter I'll be able to keep that cloud detail as well.

I use a salad spinner to remove the excess water and then I dry the film base side with a glasses cloth (until it’s really dry).

I used to have water marks when I was using too much photoflo. I now put the tiniest drop into my distilled water and I have spotless negatives.

This. In the beginning I thought „much will help much“ but it’s the opposite. Just very very few drops works best. I then use my finger to squeege

This will sound crazy, but at the lab we started to use a salad spinner to get all the excess water off and it’s been GREAT. It also dramatically cuts down on drying times.

We still use distilled water and photoflo, this is just an extra last step before hanging up.

gohuskys · 2 days ago

This is just my opinion, and I know it's a big taboo...

But for my workflow using a squeegee right after hanging it up solves so many problems. I always run my finger over the blades before use and I have not scratched any film yet. Film dries faster and less water droplets on Film means less minerals to deposit as the water evaporates.

If you have tried everything else maybe give it a shot, just think twice if you are making darkroom prints of a critical project or something. But if you are doing scanning even if you scratch film it might be salvageable in lightroom with the ai removal tool.

I’ve squeegeed roll film for 50 years and never scratched anything. Just make sure the squeegee is clean and not deteriorated. It’s not that hard. 

Although here I do think the photo flo was also too diluted, according to OP’s later comment.

I started using my bare fingers (sliding between my first and muddle fingers) after the photo flo because I was still getting spots with a squeegee. Haven't really had the problem since.

I always had this problem, B&W, C41, even when squeegueeing, or using distilled water, I can get some stains. But something interesting I noticed that for color this problem completely disappeared when switching from Adox to Fuji kit, so I assume it has to do with either washing or the stabilizer since the procedure is completely different for the two kits.

Watermarks are always on the film base side. I take a qtip and gently breathe onto the negative to moisten it, then gently rub away the water spot with the qtip. YMMV.

I read that one of the reasons that the fire got so far was they had low water pressure issues. Sounds like things were dry out there.

TheNovemberMike · 2 days ago

Partly because of higher flows in the system stirring up sediment (technically it’s tuberculate) in the pipes, but also anywhere there’s a leak if the pressure drops can suck in water/dirt from outside the pipe, but that’s less likely.

Many years ago, I learned the same way, the difference between "water resistant" and "water proof". Water resistant basically just means it'll survive if you forget to take it off before a shower or something. Often, you can dry it out and it will work again.

I have a feeling OP didn't mean to buy a fake. But just in case anybody does on purpose. To me is just not worth getting a fake on something that is $20 unless you really know what you are doing. Just going to cost you more on the long run for a worse experience. Especially if you are after features like water resistant.

phoenixdragon117 · 4 days ago

Could be low pressure to the refrigerator, not sure how that would happen but is possible. Air in the line from replacing the water filter could be a partial cause as well.

Most likely I’m guessing the inlet valve is going bad or the triple valve system is and one of the valve systems needs replacement.

The most unlikely thing I can think of is that there is a partial ice build up in the line in the door, but that would be crazy. If you wanted to test that idea you could leave the frig unhooked for a day and plug it back in. If it works perfect after that then there was ice in the lines.

Edit: spelling

Has this always happened, or recent development?

Model number would be beneficial but I’m guessing is a KRMF706ESs of some kind.

Is pressure low just in the door or is it low to the unit itself? Do you have a RO system (reverse osmosis)?

I prefer stove kettle water to electric kettle water cause it tastes burnt water.

Posted by adiene-domo · in r/AutismInWomen · 5 days ago

Is this a thing with you too? I'm not sure if my mind's playing tricks on me, because it kind of reads that the water is exposed to the very thing that increases it's temperature, and therefore, it sends a message to my taste buds that "this should taste burnt". Whereas, water heated from a stove kettle tastes nothing, like it. should. Or maybe I'm tasting the burnt microplastics from an electric kettle.

Maybe you need to descale your electric kettle? Water itself cannot get burnt, but if there is a lot of limescale in your kettle at the bottom, that can give off a burnt taste (especially when the kettle occasionally has no water in it while it's still hot).
Or you just have a very low quality kettle. In that case, as the other commenters suggested, a stainless steel one might be the way to go.

So how does this "water powered generator" work exactly? Cause every generator with water I know of uses the heat or motion of the water, it doesn't just magically consume the water to make energy. So you'd need constantly flowing water or to add already boiling water which might give you a couple seconds of power tops before the water cools below boiling

Yeah I had a similar thought but electrolysis consumes/stores electricity, it doesn't produce it. Electricity is an input not an output. A rechargable battery uses electrolysis to charge so it can later discharge without electrolysis. But of course that doesn't consumer water it's just similar if you squint

Black line in water feeder tube to ice maker in new Whirlpool side by side fridge

Posted by remainingpace · in r/Appliances · 6 days ago
post image

Hello I just had this new Whirlpool fridge installed (WRS321SDHZ), everything is solid. But I noticed this black line in the tube feeding the ice machine. I used a little pipe cleaner to try and wipe it but it is not coming off. I read it could be mold but I doubt it given it's a new fridge and it won't wipe off. Any ideas? Thank you.

Edit: Whirlpool support got back and said it is likely a line used to line up the install at the factory given it can't be easily removed.

More photos:

carbonated water maker reviews

Key Considerations for Carbonated Water Makers:

  1. Ease of Use: Look for a model that is user-friendly, with simple carbonation controls and easy bottle attachment.

  2. Carbonation Levels: Some machines offer adjustable carbonation levels, allowing you to customize the fizziness of your water.

  3. Bottle Material: Consider whether the machine uses plastic or glass bottles. Glass bottles are often more durable and environmentally friendly, while plastic bottles are lighter and less prone to breakage.

  4. CO2 Cylinder Lifespan: Check how long the CO2 cylinders last and how easy they are to replace. Some brands offer exchange programs for convenience.

  5. Design and Size: Ensure the machine fits well in your kitchen space and matches your aesthetic preferences.

  6. Flavor Options: If you enjoy flavored sparkling water, look for models that allow you to add syrups or infusions.

Popular Recommendations:

  • SodaStream Fizzi: Highly rated for its ease of use and compact design. It offers adjustable carbonation levels and a variety of flavors. The CO2 cylinder lasts for about 60 liters of water.

  • Aarke Carbonator II: Known for its sleek stainless steel design, it’s durable and stylish. It provides excellent carbonation but does not come with flavors, so you may need to purchase those separately.

  • Drinkmate: Unique in that it allows you to carbonate not just water but also juices, tea, and other beverages. This versatility makes it a great option for those who want more than just sparkling water.

Takeaway: Choose a carbonated water maker that fits your lifestyle and preferences. If you prioritize design and aesthetics, the Aarke Carbonator II is a great choice. For versatility, the Drinkmate is ideal. If you want a reliable and straightforward option, the SodaStream Fizzi is a solid pick.
