People also ask, can you use vintage seltzer bottles?

The antique seltzer bottles are beautiful, but they aren't exactly useable at home. First of all, most of them require filling at a special facility. The fittings allow for commercial companies to charge the bottles, but don't fit the carbon dioxide capsules.

Similarly, how do you refill a seltzer bottle? You simple fill the bottle with water (filtered is best) and put in the siphon. Drop a CO2 cartridge into a little sleeve-like cup that comes with the bottle… …and screw it down onto the valve on the side of the bottle head. This action punctures the top of the CO2 cartridge releasing the gas into the bottle.
