Sure! I got into it pretty heavy with a grand or two in brewing equipment at one point. A seltzer kit is pretty basic because you don't have to boil or "make" anything, but the gear will still nickel and dime you to death:

  • C02 cannister - $53 + ~$20 to fill it. They ship empty.

  • Regulator - $50. Allows you to control carbonation rate and serving pressure of your beverage

  • Corny or Cornelius kegs. $50-80. Fizzy bubble storage.

  • Locking beverage and gas connectors. $10-20. They'll be the same basic type as the keg valves (Ball lock, in this case) but one is for gas in and one is for beverage out.

  • Beverage line and connection barbs. ~$20. Allows you to dispense delicious fizzy bubbles from your keg.

    The rest of the cost is going to be in refrigeration and faucets, if you want to go that route. You can also get party faucets like you see on commercial rentable taps which do just fine but a nice chrome faucet looks and works better if you have the right setup.

    Assuming you drink ~3 cases La Croix a week at $3/case (12 pack) that would end up around $36-40/month which would take 12-14 months to even out if you end up spending $500 or so on the entire setup, but that's retail and that's assuming your La Croix is only $3. We can only find it around here for $5 :/ Check Craigslist frequently and you'll find deals from people like me who need to get rid of their equipment en masse. Cost of the seltzer is almost negligible if you do plain fizzy water. If you do citrus I think I used ~20oz for 5 gal of my last batch which was 15-20 lemons/limes. A 5 gallon batch equals out to around 50 12oz drinks so the cost of 4+ cases of fizzy water is cut down to the cost of 20 lemons or $5-10.

    tl;dr- initial cost is high but it will pay for itself in a year or less and think of all the cans that won't get dumped back into the world.

    Edit: If you can find a system like this you'll be golden. It has all the parts I just listed including a nice chrome faucet and tower. All you'd need to do is pick up a used keg and the proper connectors which could easily be found for <$75.
