Using a Carbonator pump/Tank for a TIG Cooler

[Odyknuck]

Been researching building a TIG cooler out of the Procon pump from a Carbonator system. My question is has anyone used the tank that typical is part of the system? It's made of stainles steel and appears to be about 2 Gallons.

If you searched here you would find a few examples of that.

Hmm! Those two did not come up when did a search here, thanks. Or maybe I missed them, you will have that lol. Still debating between building, buying or tap water. For as much as I will be using the 250EX i recently, the tap water route may be the best option for me.

Repurposing a carbonator is a common route for DIYers to take, and building one may be the most economical way. I've collected the parts I need to build one for just under $200, just need to get over a little design hurdle before I put it all together. There's lots of videos and examples online to take ideas from.

I noticed there are different model Carbonator's made by McCanns. There are 3 series that are similar, E200, E300 and E400? Anybody know the differences?
