Not a cool way to kill your feeders. Try whacking them, CO2 chambers, or cervical dislocation. All are quicker AND less painful then drowning.

You can also get CO2 at canadian tire now. Not sure on the cost though. Usually I just get some dry ice, it's cheap, $2 worth fills the little "24" can cooler I have, and 3 or 4 cubes in water will do in a dozen rats. Often I don't even get enough dry ice to make it worth the while of charging me.

dry ice is liquid carbon dioxide compressed under tremendous amounts of pressure. Praxiar produces it in 100lb blocks (usually)and distributes it across the country.
