Soda carbonation and dispensation system and method

A soda carbonation and dispensation system, comprising:

• a carbonation system comprising:
• a first pump assembly operable to pump water into a first tank and a second tank, wherein said first tank is connected to a pressurized carbon dioxide source and said second tank is connected to a pressurized carbon dioxide source;
• a second pump assembly operable to circulate carbonated water out of said first tank and said second tank, through a first chiller system and back into said first tank and said second tank;
• a level sensor in fluid communication with said first tank, said level sensor operable to determine a fluid level within said first tank;
• a controller in electrical communication with said level sensor, said first pump assembly and said second pump assembly;
• a third pump assembly operable to pump carbonated water from said second tank, through said first chiller system and into a dispensing tower operable to dispense fluid;
• a syrup chilling and supply system comprising at least one source of syrup and at least one syrup pump assembly operable to pump syrup through a second chiller system and into said dispensing tower;
• wherein said controller is operable to activate and deactivate said first pump assembly to maintain said fluid level inside said first tank between a predetermined high level and a predetermined low level,
• wherein said controller is operable to circulate carbonated water by activating said second pump assembly when said first pump assembly is deactivated, and
• wherein said syrup chilling and supply system further comprises at least one regulator operable to regulate a flow rate of syrup discharged from said at least one syrup pump assembly.

A soda carbonation and dispensation system comprising:

• a first pumping means for pumping water into a first tank and a second tank;
• a first carbonation means for making carbonated water comprising a pressurized carbon dioxide source connected to said first tank;
• a second carbonation means for making carbonated water comprising a pressurized carbon dioxide source connected to said second tank;
• a second pumping means for circulating carbonated water out of said first tank and said second tank, through a first chilling means and back into said first tank and said second tank;
• a level sensing means in fluid communication with said first tank for detecting a fluid level within said first tank;
• a controller means in electrical communication with said level sensing means, said first pumping means and said second pumping means for activating and deactivating operation of said first pumping means and said second pumping means, thereby maintaining the fluid level within a predetermined range inside said first tank and circulating carbonated water through said first tank, said second tank and said first chilling means;
• a third pumping means for pumping carbonated water from said second tank through a chilling means and into a dispensing means operable to dispense fluid into a container;
• a syrup chilling and supply means for chilling syrup and pumping syrup at a predetermined flow rate into said dispensing means.
