Abstract
A carbonator unit for a post-mix beverage dispenser having a carbonator tank immersed in a liquid flotation tank. The carbonator tank floats up and down with changes in the amount of water and head space in the carbonator tank to actuate a switch device mounted externally of the carbonator tank. Actuation of the switch causes a water pump to become operative to supply uncarbonated water to the carbonator tank. When the volume of carbonated water increases to a predetermined amount, the carbonator tank sinks to deactivate the switch.
