                                 CERTIFICATIONS
                      -------------------------------------

I, Robert R. Galvin, certify that:

     1.  I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of NuCO2 Inc.;

     2.  Based  on my  knowledge,  this  report  does  not  contain  any  untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which
         such  statements  were made, not misleading  with respect to the period
         covered by this report;

     3.  Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial
         information  included in this  report,  fairly  present in all material
         respects the financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows
         of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

     4.  The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I are responsible for
         establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
         defined  in  Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  for  the
         registrant and have:

         a)  Designed such disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
             disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to  be  designed  under  our
             supervision,  to ensure that material  information  relating to the
             registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
             to us by others  within  those  entities,  particularly  during the
             period in which this report is being prepared;

         b)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
             and procedures and presented in this report our  conclusions  about
             the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,  as of
             the  end of the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
             evaluation; and

         c)  Disclosed  in this report any change in the  registrant's  internal
             control  over  financial   reporting   that  occurred   during  the
             registrant's  most recent fiscal quarter (the  registrant's  fourth
             fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
             affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  the
             registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

     5.  The registrant's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based
         on our most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
         reporting,  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
         registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing the equivalent
         functions):

         a)  All significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
             or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
             reasonably  likely to adversely affect the registrant's  ability to
             record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

         b)  Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that  involves  management or
             other  employees  who have a significant  role in the  registrant's
             internal control over financial reporting.
