We're glad you asked! Here's how to get the most out of your Sparkling Water Maker:
- Carbonate fresh cold water only! A temperature of 39-44 °F (4-7 °C) is best, so try using chilled water straight from the fridge.
- Keep your bottles away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
- Wash plastic bottles using lukewarm water (Never place your bottles in the dishwasher unless you are using our dishwasher-safe plastic bottles or our glass carafes).
- Check the expiration date of your bottles and make sure to replace them after they've outlived their bubbly life. When replacing your bottle, check your local recycling or disposal guidance, as recycling options may vary by location.
- The puffing noises made by the machine aren't an indication of the carbonation level, only the amount of presses that you use. So feel free to bubble as you like :) Short & firm carbonation pushes (approx. 1-2 sec) work best.
- We recommend purchasing a spare cylinder to have on hand so you never find yourself without CO2!
- How do you like your bubbles? Light? Strong? Medium? With our Sparkling Water Makers, YOU control your level of bubbles.
- Prefer flavors? AFTER carbonating, add fresh fruit or one of our SodaStream flavors to enjoy Sparkling Water with a yummy kick!
