Where can I find the shipping label to exchange my cylinders?
After submitting your order for a cylinder exchange you will receive an email with a shipping label. Don't see it? Don't worry! Please contact one of our Sparkling Water Specialists at 800-763-2258 and we'll resend.
Do I have to be home to receive my order?
No, but we understand if you take off of work to wait for your sparkle delivery. We've been there. Your full cylinder(s) will be delivered via UPS. Once your empties are packed, just drop them off at any local UPS pickup location.
How do I know if my carbonating cylinder is empty?
There are a number of ways to tell when your carbonating cylinder is empty:  1. When you press the carbonating button you don't see any gas going into your bottle of water. 2. Even after repeated presses your water is not carbonated. 3. You hear a sputtering sound when you attempt carbonation. Pro-tip: SodaStream recommends keeping a back up carbonating cylinder handy so that when one cylinder runs out, you simply swap the empty cylinder for a full one. That way, you'll keep enjoying fresh, fizzy drinks without interruption and can exchange the empty carbonator via courier service or in a store near you.

What happens if I don't return my used cylinders?
We recommend not waiting very long after receipt of your cylinder exchange order to ship back your empties.  SodaStream must receive your used cylinder(s) no later than (30) days after placement of your exchange order, or an additional $15 charge (plus tax) for each unreturned cylinder will be applied.

What do you mean by an exchange?
Bubbles 101: Carbonating cylinders create the bubbles. After some time, the carbonating cylinder runs out of CO2. We offer an exchange, or in other words an exchange process, in which you get a new carbonating cylinder in exchange for your empty one.
