Sodastream

[beeweegee]

Can anyone quote a prominent Posek as to whether or not it's muttar to use a Sodastream (non-electric one) on Shabbos?

So I just spent some time looking into this (I just got a Sodastream...), and this what I came up with.  In the Sefer Shulchan Shlomo (a work put together by a student of R' Shlomo Zalman Auerbach of his Piskei Halacha), R' Shlomo Zalman says it's muttar. Sefer Shmiras Shabbos Kehilchasa says it's muttar as well, but that makes sense, as he generally goes with the psak of R' Shlomo Zalman.

I'm pretty sure I once posted the Mareh Makom for Shmiras Shabbos Khilchoso. Where is says that it is muttar

Thanks. Couldn't you have posted this an hour ago?? 

Would have saved me some time...

"Its muttar to use a Sodastream (non-electric one) on Shabbos" - prominent posek.

I don't know if you guys remember but people have been making seltzer for generations, and they had no problem making it on Shabbos. It's a (relatively) new thing that seltzer comes ready in bottles. So now that we are switching back rto making seltzer at home there's no need to revisit it (unless there's a significant change in HOW we do it, but the act of making seltzer has been dealt with).

Just got my first 130L CO2. This thing is a monster.

According to when zeidy was young they used to get ready made seltzer every Friday.

Huh? I replace my 60L every few weeks, so this will just >double my replacement time.

Costs more to buy and replace. Less per liter, but only slightly less. The initial outlay is what sets you back

Wow, didn't see this and was just searching for this thread. Umm it costs $30 vs $15 and it's 130l vs. 60l so it's a better deal...

Factor in initial cost and how often you change it to determine value.

Assume you have to buy the 130 and don't need to also buy the 60. So you need to lay out an additional $50
Assume that

it costs $30 vs $15 and it's 130l vs. 60l

is correct.
Cost per liter is 30/130 =23.08 cents and 15/60 =25 cents
Then you need to refill the 130L one 20 times in order to break even (20*130+50=650). That equates to refilling the 60L one 43.333 times (43.333*15=650)

Of course you also need to factor in the cost of goin out an extra 1.166 times with the 60L, so that might cancel out the above.

This of course ignores the $5 off coupon from BBB which then makes it more cost effective to use the 60L as the costs are then 10/60 = 16.6667 cents vs 25/130 = 19.3 cents.
Even if you were to use the 20% off for the 130L it is still a cost of 18.46cents

Assume that  is correct.

Pretty sure BBB will let you exchange the a 60L for a 130L. So there is no additional cost.

Cheapest way to obtain sodastream flavors?

you can exchange them in the sense that you'll get the exchange price. Still the exchange on the larger tank is 29.99 vs 14.99 for the smaller

Bestbuy has some flavors on Clearance

Yes, assuming you don't have the electronic version. Perhaps changing the cartridge falls under something like Makeh BePatish? Just a thought - no idea whether it's allowed or not.
