How to Replace Your CO2 Cylinder: Easy Step-by-Step Guide

One of the most common questions we receive is about CO2 cylinder replacement. The good news? It's incredibly easy and takes less than a minute. One standard 0.6L CO2 cylinder can make approximately 60 liters of sparkling water, so you'll only need to replace it every few months depending on usage.

How to Know When Your CO2 Cylinder Is Empty

You'll notice the signs immediately: pressing the button produces fewer bubbles or no fizz at all, even after multiple presses. The water stays flat. This means it's time for a fresh cylinder.

Step-by-Step Replacement Instructions

1. Remove the empty cylinder: Open the back cover of your soda maker. Unscrew the empty CO2 cylinder by turning it counterclockwise. No tools are needed — it's designed for hand operation.
2. Dispose or recycle: CO2 cylinders are recyclable. Check with your local recycling center or return them to authorized exchange points.
3. Insert the new cylinder: Take a fresh 0.6L CO2 cylinder and screw it in clockwise until hand-tight. Do not overtighten — snug is sufficient.
4. Close the cover: Replace the back cover. Your soda maker is now ready to use again.
5. Test it: Make a test bottle of sparkling water to ensure everything is working properly.
