Are CO2 Calcium Reactors out of favor nowadays?

BTW where are you guys filling now? I am getting quotes for 100 dollars for a 20 pound fill.

Coast Fire Supply in Livermore. I didn’t check on a 20lbs, but I can’t imagine it’s more than $60.

It was $25 bucks for a 5lb fill, $30 for a 10lb fill.

Probably less than half price of what it is in berkeley then. Anyone near berkeley know some where cheaper than air gas?

I exchanged my 20lbs for $58 out the door at air gas in vacaville few months ago

Check Carbonic Services in Santa Clara for refills.

I’ve been exchanging a 20lb cylinder there for under $50 for quite some time.

I should be starting the switch from dosing to calcium reactor tomorrow.

I like the idea of supplemental dosing to help keep the calcium reactor from dropping ph too much, and it would be a neat experiment to play with dosing as the fine tuning.

I filled a 20# cylinder on 8/5 at Airgas and it was 47 dollars. Tank swap out.
There have been roumors of CO2 supply chain issues, so maybe prices are going up.

Thanks for the discussion guys, I think I'll dust off the gear and see what condition it's in. Mostly the regulator. The reactor itself I think is fine.
