It's not one hole per drink on the first, isn't it? It's two per, since one is for the creamy thick syrup, the other is for fizzy water. That's why you basically end up with soda water if the syrup is out. That's correct, no? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (4 children) 100% I was going to mention this but didn't wanna seem to nerdy. If you are interested in learning about them search up lancer lev and you'll see pics and manuals. i love some of the newer dispensers but you can't fuckin beat classic valves. On or fuckin off brother no in-between. i don't need no gentrified machine, give me bare stainless and black plastic with a decal and I'm happy. i just rebuilt and installed a fountain and icewell combo original built in 96. shits built to last and is always repairable, freestyle machines break so easy, it's all tiny parts and plastic. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago (3 children) I love it. I think it would be pretty awesome to have a drink fountain for home. Not sure I could get the wife approval on that.... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) Just get a drinkmate, you can buy sryups online. Easiest way to have fresh soda. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) That seems like the same thing as soda stream, which is far more popular where I am. I don't want soda stream, I also don't want this drink mate thing. Far too manual to make soda when I want it. With an actual soda fountain: I set it up, and beyond refilling the supplies every few months or so, I wouldn't need to think about it or do anything... Just fill up my cup and go. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 year ago Depending on where you live you could go the route of premixed product. You just need fridge big enough for a tank and a set of taps mounted on top. You serve it like beer, bonus is you can easily switch to beer. permalink fedilink source parent
