This little device solved a problem for me which would have involved over-engineering on my end at a multiple of the actual cost. Works AMAZING. Modified the tower to hold five taps (LOL!!!)
I purchased this to upgrade my garage fridge to a continuous carbonated water dispensor. Using the Kegland KL10955 / Morebeer KEG455 and a korny keg I have had fresh soda water for over a week. My home water pressure is 55PSI max and my well kicks on at 30PSI. I set the CO2 pressure to 30psi. Which provides a decent carbonation bite. No more purchasing cans of soda water. Just note that the 1/4" OD line works well with the check valves but are too small for the 1/4" barb ball lock fittings.
Works great! No more filling the keg every week or two. Installed on a 1.5 gallon Torpedo keg and it is working fine.
Followed the directions, and the youtube video from kegland (Morebeer's overseas counterpart). Works as advertised and I'm happy about that. I previously had a soda stream that was tied into my co2 system, but this is a much cleaner setup and I don't have to deal with the soda stream bottles. My only gripe is the spraying mechanism. It was clearly pictured as being made of steel in both the online photo's and the video. It has now been replaced with a blue plastic version. This is really unfortunate as I expect it to eventually break (They actually provide you with a spare, so it seems to be prone to failure at some point), and its also threaded in, so if it does break, it will be a pain to try to extract. I would have happily paid an extra for this item if they kept the original steel sprayer, which likely would have never failed. They really should update the photo's and video to reflect this.
Nice looking piece, I have not yet run the water line to my kegerator. My only complaint is that it came with zero instructions if any kind. Most of it is pretty obvious, but it came with a blue plastic tag attached and a spare tag. Might have to do with a high pressure release, not sure but it’d be nice to know.
This is great! Using a small Corny keg and this lid, I now have one tap on my Komos 4 tap kegger dedicated for fresh seltzer. It took a bit of tinkering to get the pressures right, but it now works perfectly, refilling and recarbonating as seltzer is poured.
Works perfectly and I now really do have endless seltzer with little to no effort. Excellent purchase.
I’ve had this for about 6 months now and it’s working great. My partner drinks a ton of seltzer. It’s paid for itself in La Croix savings. Making syrups is especially fun.
Love having seltzer on tap! Easy setup, and working well almost a year later with next to no maintenance.
This was very easy to install, the most difficult part was running a water line from the kitchen plumbing. It's been set up for about 2 months now and it is so nice not tracking how long it's been since I took the seltzer keg out to refill. The family was going through about 4 gallons a week so it's nice not dragging a keg through the kitchen to refill twice a week, or forget and have no seltzer on tap.

Works great. Note - the connector on the top for water in is quite tight. I could only get it to work with the standard white plastic gas in connectors. The stainless ones don’t fit.
This does exactly what it is supposed to do. It was tricky to get fitted into the keg. I had to remove the pressure release valve to finagle the lid into the keg. The water post gets in the way a bit, but it’s possible to install with the prv removed.
Works exactly as claimed. Sprays water in to replace water taken out, allowing the water to carbonate faster. This should be an instabuy for anyone with a seltzer cornie.
What's the best way to hook up a still water and a carbonated water keg from mains with 2 of these lids?
Lid worked great at first … but after installing Ball Lock w/check valve on gas and mains supply into lid the float has stopped working. I’m a newbie so feel certain I messed up something just not sure what! Thoughts?
Is the float not shutting off the water or is it not filling?
I have an already carbonated keg via a carb lid. Can I just swap in this lid and go from there?
Absolutely. I have had one of these in use for over a year and it works flawlessly.
Yes
My home well water system pump is set to turn on at 30psi and turn off at 50psi. I can adjust to 60/40 if necessary. The instructions suggest 70psi water is required. Is anyone else using 50PIS supply water?
It works fine with my 50psi
I have well water also. My limit switch is set for 40/60. I have my co2 regulator set at 48 psi. I have no problem getting very good carbonation. I have a 5 gal corny keg in a small fridge and my wife and I use roughly 1.5 liters a day so the co2 has lots of time to infuse even at 48 psi. If you were a commercial operation or used a lot of soda water you might not get good results since there would be rapid turnover and the co2 infusion might not keep up with usage rate.
My water pressure at my house is between 50-55 psi and work fine. Please note you have to have a pressure differential between you C02 tank and your incoming water pressure. The differential id about 15 psi and works perfectly on my system.
Hi Greg -- I've been using this lid for about a year and a half. I use a pressure reducing valve on my whole house se around 45PSI. Before I installed the PRV my native pressure was probably around 80PSI. Also no problems with this lid. I see the instructions here suggest running the water pressure higher than the CO2 pressure by about 10-15PSI. I believe my water and CO2 pressures are roughly the same right now. I have check valves on both the water and the CO2 lines. As far as I can tell I don't get any "fighting" between the two as they come into the keg or out to the tap. It's a great device and I think you'll be fine.
I have little head space in my kegerator with my 5 gallon corny kegs. What is the height of the water inlet post mounted to the keg lid?
The post sticks up just under 1 3/4 inches from the top surface of the lid. On my 5 gallon Firestone keg the top of the post sticks up 0.4 inches beyond the handles
I had to use a converted pin lock keg to make mine work since mine had an integrated check valve ball lock. Do you want to know the height of the pin lock?
