An apparatus for manufacturing gasified liquids. A Venturi-type device is provided at a water inlet of a deaerating vessel of the apparatus to deaerate the water. A mixing and metering stage connected to the deaerating vessel is controlled by a regulating valve. A precarbonating device is positioned between the valve and a final carbonating vessel to intimately contact and mix liquid and gaseous components. A check valve is provided at the input of the final vessel for additional mixing. Also, a Venturi-type device at the input provides saturation of the mixture with the gas. The apparatus also includes an easily cleaned distributing tray and mechanism for cleaning the tray. A device similar to the previously described precarbonating valve can be used with other types of apparatus to intimately contact a gas and liquid.
