Lepresso Carbonator Instant Sparkling Water with Pressure Gauge & Efficient Carbonation- Black
LePresso Carbonator Instant Sparkling Water Maker – Black
Technical / Technician-Oriented Description
1. Product Overview
The LePresso Carbonator Instant Sparkling Water Maker is a manual carbonation system designed to convert still water (or other non-carbonated beverages) into sparkling water using controlled CO₂ infusion. It is a non-electric, standalone device ideal for countertop use.
2. Model & Identification
Model: LPCFFM0019
Product Type: Manual sparkling water carbonator
Finish / Color: Black
Operation: Mechanical / Manual carbonation system
Application: Home or kitchen use for beverage carbonation
3. Mechanical & Structural Design
Body Housing: Durable ABS plastic construction to withstand household use.
Carbonation Bottle: Designed for 1-liter capacity; constructed from food-safe materials capable of containing internal pressure.
Pressure Gauge: Integrated analog pressure gauge mounted on the unit to provide real-time monitoring of internal carbonation pressure.
Valves & Controls:
Pressure Release Button: Rapid manual venting to safely depressurize after carbonation cycle.
Pressure Safety Valves: Redundant safety valves prevent over-pressurization and protect the system and user.
Technician Notes:
Ensure pressure gauge remains calibrated and free of blockage for accurate readings.
Inspect threaded interfaces and seals for wear or cracks that could compromise pressure containment.
4. Carbonation System & Operation
CO₂ Infusion: Manual carbonation driven by a compatible CO₂ cartridge or cylinder (externally installed).
Adjustable Fizz Pressure: Operator can control the level of dissolved CO₂ by observing the pressure gauge and adjusting the amount of CO₂ introduced.
One-Button Operation: A single actuation point simplifies the carbonation process and reduces potential misuse.
Technician Notes:
Use only recommended CO₂ cartridges/cylinders rated for food carbonation.
Verify all seals and O-rings are lubricated with food-grade lubricant and undamaged.
5. Capacity & Performance Parameters
Bottle Capacity: 1 Liter (max operational volume).
Operational Pressure Range: Designed for typical beverage carbonation levels (dependent on CO₂ supply and gauge indication).
Safety Pressure Limits: Governed by built-in safety valves to prevent exceeding structural limits.
Technician Notes:
Do not exceed the fill line to prevent backflow or flooding of valves during carbonation.
Regularly verify the integrity of the pressure gauge and relief valve functionality.
6. Safety & Protective Features
Pressure Safety Valves: Redundant mechanical valves to dump excess CO₂ if unsafe pressure is reached.
Pressure Release Button: Manual venting ensures controlled depressurization before bottle removal.
Material Standards: Food-grade plastics and elastomers selected for contact with pressurized beverages.
Technician Notes:
Always vent residual pressure before opening the carbonation bottle.
Inspect safety valve seating and diaphragm condition periodically for reliable operation.
7. Installation & Setup
Base Setup: Place unit on stable, flat surface.
Bottle Installation: Fill with still water to line, secure bottle into carbonation head.
CO₂ Cartridge Installation: Install compatible CO₂ cell per manufacturer instructions (external accessory, not included).
Gauge Verification: Confirm pressure gauge zero point before initiating carbonation.
8. Maintenance & Service Guidelines
Routine Service:
Clean bottle and carbonation head after each use to remove residues.
Inspect O-rings and gaskets for compression set or cracking and replace when worn.
Verify gauge accuracy and safety valve responsiveness monthly.
Troubleshooting Indicators:
Failure to Carbonate: Likely CO₂ supply issue, seal leakage, or blocked valve.
Excessive Pressure Rise: Malfunctioning safety valve or CO₂ over-injection — cease operation immediately and vent.
Gauge Inaccuracy: Replace gauge if readings are inconsistent with expected pressure behavior.
