Kinda figured that it had to be something injecting the CO2 into the water (like those SodaStream units), but never seen it myself...

The carbonated water in those machines comes from the house water line, a CO2 tank & remote unit that keeps the mix right. In most restaurants you'll see them pretty near the rack where the boxes of syrup are stored along with the pump that pushes everything to the dispensing heads.

It seems remarkable that pre-mix soda survived for so long in the US...
