CArx Co2 impurities

[road_runner]

Hello randy and all,
Is it true that Co2 can push bad stuff to our system through the CArx?
I saw a co2 bottle from teiton supposedly so it's pure co2. Anyone have anything useful on using common co2 canisters for CArx??
Thanks alot.

I'm thinking about getting a Ca reactor, but I want to know if the grade of CO2 (e.g. food grade) matters. I can get CO2 tank refills at a place that maintains fire extinguishers or from Airgas. I haven't found a local beverage supply company that sells to anybody but businesses. Is the fire...

I've never heard of a problem from contaminated CO2. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but its not a priority concern, IMO.

I just refilled at a Paintball place. Ill report if i have any issues.

I had to do it as I bought a spare tank at a medical and industrial gas place and 2 weeks later it was empty!! Had to have a leak. It happened on a Friday Ishtar, so had to get CO2 somewhere. Friend of mine recommended Paintball place. He has been doin g it for years with zero issues.
