Don't get stuck paying super high prices for CO2 to run your under-counter sparkling water systems like Zip or Billi.

The Kegmaster Soda System Hijack Kit will help you sparkle more water without the cost of buying those little, expensive brand name disposeable cylinders.

Simply select the size of the refillable cylinder you require, either 2.6kg or 6kg.

Our MKX regulator will fit on either size cylinder.

Our attachment hose will join the regulator to your sparkling water system. 

*Please Note - your MKX regulator will come with an extra grey DM UNF Push-In Fitting that is not required as one is already supplied with your attachment hose.

To set up the system:

Set the regulator's T-30 nut onto the cylinder valve threads and tighten together using the included 5 in 1 tap spanner

Attach the grey end of the attchment hose to the regulator and push the brass end of the hose into your sparkling water system

Give the cylinder's black valve knob a full turn to open the gas flow

Slowly turn the regulator's grey knob clockwise to bring the low pressure gauge up to 40psi. 

THAT'S IT!

More bubbles, fewer bucks!


When your cylinder is empty you can refill or swap it for a low price  at any of the locations on our Stockists List!

CAUTION: CO2 is an asphysxiating gas and in high concentrations may cause suffocation. Symptoms may be loss of mobility and consciousness. Victims may not be aware.
At low concentrations may cause narcotic effects, symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination.
These risks are elevated when using larger CO2 cylinders, systems with severe leaks, cylinders in small or poorly ventilated rooms, basements etc, spaces where people or pets sleep.

Leak testing

We highly recommend performing a leak test on your system once setup, and after each cylinder change. To perform a leak test:

  1. Ensure all the push in fittings are, fully seated, sometimes they can feel inserted, but require a firmer push to fully engage the seal.
  2. Turn the regulator up to the recommended pressure for your system (usually 40psi).
  3. Ensure the carbonation system is set to its normal standby mode and leave for at least 15 minutes for everything to equalise. 
  4. Turn off the cylinder valve (usually black handle/knob), without touching the regulator adjustment knob (usually grey knob on the regulator).
  5. Note down the pressure on both the high and low pressure gauges of the regulator on a piece of paper.
  6. Ensure no one uses the carbonation machine for at least an hour and check the pressure on the gauges again:
    • If the high pressure has dropped significantly during this time, it indicates a leak. Check all connections are fully inserted, use a foamy lather made of dishwashing detergent on all joins, gauges etc and watch for bubbles. Fix any issues and preform another leak test.
    • A small drop on the high pressure gauge (around 50psi) may be caused by temperature changes or the system equalising. If in doubt leave the system overnight and test again or for a longer time.
    • If no change in pressure is noted, this indicates there are no leaks, turn on the cylinder valve again for normal operation.
  7. If the pressure test indicates there is a leak, but it can't be located or sealed, your system may need service from an authorised technician. For minor leaks you can usually turn your cylinder valve on just while you make soda water and off when not in use to reduce wastage until a technician can service the unit.
