Whistling sound when changing a keg

What to check if your CO₂ gauge hisses after connecting a new keg.

Written by Bram Sol

What is happening?

Do you hear a short hissing sound near the CO₂ gauge after changing a keg? In most cases, this is not a problem. The new keg is being pressurized and filled with CO₂.

This sound should stop by itself after a few seconds.




Does the whistling continue?

Please check the following points:

  1. Is the new keg connected properly?
    Check whether the coupler is securely attached and correctly connected.

  2. Is there a leak in the CO₂ line?
    If needed, apply a small amount of water mixed with dish soap to the couplings and lines. If bubbles appear, there may be a leak.

  3. Is there any visible damage to the pressure regulator or CO₂ system?
    Check whether there is any visible damage to the pressure regulator, hoses, or connections.


What should you do in case of a leak or defect?

If you find a leak or notice a defect:

  1. Close all taps.
    ​

  2. Block the item on the POS so it can no longer be sold temporarily.
    Move the toggle to the left and synchronize the settings.
    ​

  3. Contact your hospitality service partner for inspection or repair.
