All You Need to Know About CO2 Cylinders
Your SodaStream cylinder is the heart of your sparkling water maker. It keeps the bubbles contained until you’re ready to release them into your water and power your cordless sparkling water maker.
Where do your bubbles come from?
Your SodaStream cylinder
Since introducing the new aluminum cylinder to the market over 20 years ago, SodaStream has produced over 70M CO2 canisters for its consumers worldwide.
As a result of our diligent production, testing, and maintenance processes, we’re proud to report that not a single SodaStream cylinder has ever failed, earning recognition from the world’s leading regulatory and safety authorities.
Safety
Our stellar safety record comes from the fact that SodaStream is the only manufacturer of aluminum CO2 cylinders in the world that has 100% control of each cylinder throughout its lifetime.
We believe in treating every cylinder as if we’re taking it home to insert into our own sparkling water maker. That’s why you should never use third parties to manufacture, test, fill, or maintain your CO2 cylinders.
With every refill, empty CO2 cartridges come back to SodaStream’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plants where each one is inspected, tested, sterilized, and filled with fresh dietary-grade CO2.
Quality
Each canister is made from the highest-grade brass and aluminum to ensure durability and maximize safety. Designed specifically for your SodaStream, the cylinder valves fit your machines perfectly, helping your machine perform at its peak efficiency and minimizing CO2 loss during the carbonation process
Sustainability
A single CO2 cylinder produces about 60 liters of sparkling water. We also like to think of it as preventing 60 1-liter single-use plastic bottles from ending up in our environment. Multiply that by millions of SodaStreamers worldwide and we have a movement – a real, tangible change in helping the environment simply by sparkling our water at home.
In Summary
IMPORTANT facts you cannot afford to ignore and understanding your risks:
- Refilling of empty CO2 cylinders by unofficial sources is extremely risky. (Would you consume food from unknown sources or kitchens..?)
- Unregulated refilling violates the law and unauthorized refilling SodaStream's rights. Violators do so entirely at their own health and safety risk.
- SodaStream warrants the safety of its CO2 cylinders only if they are refilled by SodaStream, bearing a SodaStream safety seal on the valve
- SodaStream possesses the legally required knowledge and expertise for handling CO2 cylinders, and is subject to strict legal compliance. SodaStream can only guarantee the safety and effectiveness if these cylinders are maintained, examined, retested and refilled by SodaStream.
