I converted one of my taps to seltzer using a McCain's carbonator. Unfortunately I'm struggling with off tastes from the tubing interacting with the carbonated water.
Initially I tried showing some Bev-Flex 172 by Accuflex 1/4 onto the shank and using a couple of crimp on fittings, but no matter how hard I crimped I'd get a slow leak above 50 PSI, which I guess makes sense since its a gas line tube and very hard so not made for barbed fittings.
Next I tried Clearflo AG-47 which was god awful. It seals great and holds pressure perfectly, but even a second or two contact with the seltzer and it tastes like I'm drinking bitter plastic.
Then I tried Excelon RNT, which similarly seals well but tastes only a little better.
At this point I've spent a lot ordering random tubing and haven't had much success. Are there any good options I should be looking at? High pressure, a tight fit on a barbed soda tap, and the neutral taste of seltzer water seems to really limit my options.
