Exchange and Refill Your CO2 Cylinders

Refilling your cylinders, whether online or in-store, is the most cost-efficient and sustainable way to bubble.

With every exchange, your empties must pass SodaStream's Triple Quality Control - a rigorous sterilization and inspection process - before they’re refilled with fresh dietary-grade CO₂.

By reusing cylinders, you contribute to keeping our planet clean, save money, and enjoy knowing that your SodaStream CO₂ cylinder is the best and safest choice for your family.

Why SodaStream CO₂ cylinders?

• Designed specifically for your sparkling water maker, they fit your machine perfectly, ensuring better carbonation and maximum cylinder efficiency
• Filled with high-quality, dietary-grade CO₂ as used in all traditional carbonated drinks and sodas
• Perfect condition – every time you exchange your empty cylinder it undergoes a Triple Quality Control process during which it’s inspected, sterilized, and filled with fresh CO₂
• Safety – every one of your cylinders is made of the highest-grade brass and aluminum. Of over 70M cylinders produced, no cylinder has ever failed. Now, that’s something to feel safe about!

Common Questions:

1. How do I install the carbonating cylinder in my sparkling water maker? Installing your carbonating cylinder is easy! Check out the relevant User Manual for the instructions.

2. How often will I need to replace my carbonating cylinder? Your carbonating cylinder will, on average, make up to 60L of sparkling water. However, how frequently you need to replace your carbonating cylinder will vary according to the level of carbonation you use. Generally, a cylinder will last you anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. 

3. What's the difference between an exchange and a backup carbonating cylinders? Exchanges replace your empty cylinders with full ones. You will want to order an exchange as soon as you notice that your cylinder is out of CO2. 

Backup cylinders are there so you always have a full one at home and can quickly swap out as soon as your current one runs out of CO2. We recommend having at least one back up cylinder on hand at all times.
