Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change a bag-in-box? Watch this step-by-step video.
How do I change Co2 or Beer Gas? Watch this step-by-step video.
How do I know if the Co2 is empty? Co2 pressure goes up to 800-1000 PSI at room temperature (lower when it's cold and higher when it's hot) and pretty much stays there and will drop once it's empty. Co2 is lighter and will have a hollow sound when tapped.
How do I know if the beer gas is empty? Beer gas pressure goes up to 1800-2000 PSI and will slowly drop as it empties. Beer gas is the same weight empty or full.
How do I maintain my pop gun? Leave the pop gun in a pitcher of soda water every night. Take off the nozzle and clean around the end.
What is a backflow preventer? A backflow preventer and a 90* shut-off valve is required for your pop system so that if something goes wrong you can shut off the water to the pop system. A plumber can install it easily before your pop system is installed.

Having Trouble with your Pop System? Try These Trouble Shooting Tips.

The most common problems are pretty easy to fix. Always check the electricity (is the carbinator plugged in), Co2 (is the tank empty), water (is the water supply working), pop/juice supply (is there an empty bag). 80% of the time one of these simple things is the problem.
One kind of pop/juice is not coming out: Check if the pop/juice bag-in-box is empty. The end or pump may need to be replaced.

No pop or juice is coming out: check the Co2, check the water supply and check that the carbinator is plugged in.

Pop is not carbonated: Make sure there is ice on the cold plate. Check the Co2. Make sure that the carbinator is plugged in.

Pump is banging and won't stop: the bag-in-box has been empty too long and the pump is broken. This will drain your Co2, watch this video on how to disconnect one pump and then call Soda Centre to replace.

I'm going through a lot of Co2: Check for an empty bag. Check for a leak in the system by spraying soapy water over the lines and connections.

The pop/juice is too thin or too thick: just let us know when we're delivering your next order and we can adjust it.

One of the buttons is sticking on the gun: Leave the pop gun in a pitcher of soda water every night to keep it clean. Let us know the problem and well fix it during our next delivery.

If all else fails call us at 416-284-0007.
