My first cousin owns a pharmacy that has an old fashioned soda fountain.
He has said that each type of soda does have a recommended ratio of syrup
to water, as well as a recommended pressure for the carbonation in the
water. If the equipment isn't maintained and monitored properly, these
rations can wander far away from the correct settings. This type of
equipment is hardly high-tech, at least not in most cases, contrary to
those systems that supply mixed alcoholic beverages through a computerized
system.
