BodyStream instructions
Everything you need to set up, run, and care for your BodyStream — plus the safety essentials for handling CO2 at home.
Operating instructions
The inflation gun requires a full button release to prevent CO2 leakage. Every gun is tested before shipment, but verification is recommended. Always turn the tank off after filling. Position the neck seal over your head as shown in the instructional imagery — these components are fragile and require careful handling. For smaller necks, an additional seal may be provided to layer over the existing one, or a smaller replacement offered. We are developing an improved neck solution for universal sizing.
Safety guidelines
Leak detection
- Check all connection points: regulator-to-tank, hose-to-regulator, and gun-to-hose.
- Listen for audible leaks, or spray soapy water to identify bubble formation.
Temperature management
- Do not store CO2 tanks where temperatures exceed 125°F (51.7°C) — heat increases internal pressure.
Operation protocol
- Turn the tank off when not actively filling.
- Verify neck seal tightness to prevent CO2 escape.
- Pull the zipper completely closed — the final segment requires extra force.
- Apply the included TiZip lubricant if the zipper becomes difficult.
- Ensure adequate room ventilation.
- Do not place your head inside the suit before airing out the CO2.
Recommended usage
- 1Use 30–60 minutes per session, 3–5 times weekly.
- 2Handle neck seals carefully; avoid jewelry and watches to prevent damage.
- 3Wear minimal clothing — CO2 penetrates fabric easily.
- 4Clean by turning the suit inside-out; use a steam cleaner or a spray solution with a hand towel.
- 5Replace the neck seal (small size) or trim it for comfort if oversized.
- 6Hydrate after each session.
- 7Enhance effectiveness by increasing blood circulation beforehand — exercise, temperature therapy, or a heat mat.
CO2 tank safety
- Standard cylinder pressure is approximately 860 psi at room temperature.
- Typical storage capacity is approximately 20 lbs of liquid CO2.
- 2 lbs of liquid CO2 expand to about 20 cubic feet of pure CO2 gas (a 535:1 expansion rate).
- CO2 is heavier than air and accumulates in low areas — good ventilation prevents pooling.
Use CO2 safely
Use only food-grade CO2, keep the room well ventilated, and never place your head inside the suit until the CO2 has aired out. If anything is unclear, reach our team before your session.
