A reusable CO2 cylinder turns tap water into sparkling water at home, without single-use bottles or cans. Filled at a specialized facility in Quebec, it can then be exchanged at more than 2,500 partner locations across Canada.
No matter what brand your machine is, there is a reusable CO2 cylinder that will be compatible with it. This page helps you identify the right model, understand what a refill really costs and find out where to exchange it near you.
What a reusable CO2 cylinder changes in everyday life
One 60-litre CO2 cylinder replaces an average of 170 cans of sparkling water. Instead of buying, carrying and recycling containers, you keep the same cylinder and exchange it when it is empty.
In practical terms, that means:
- sparkling water on demand, at the carbonation level you choose
- no stock of bottles or cans to manage at home
- a stable cost per litre instead of fluctuating grocery-store prices
- less single-use plastic and metal in the recycling bin
- a container that goes back into circulation instead of being thrown away after a single use
Two connection systems for all machines
Sparkling water makers sold in Canada use one of two connection systems. The quality of the bubbles is identical in both cases. The only difference is how the cylinder is installed.
To find out which cylinder your machine uses, simply look at the back of the machine where the cylinder connects. A screw-in thread points to the Twist model, while a locking clip points to the Easy Connect model.
The Classic Twist cylinder
The Classic Twist cylinder screws into the back of the machine using a standard TR21-4 thread. It is the traditional, proven and very stable system, with no risk of a poor connection.
The Easy Connect cylinder
The Easy Connect cylinder clips into place in one motion, with no screwing required. It is designed for machines with a Quick Connect system, often recognizable by their original pink cylinders.
| Cylinder model | Connection | Compatible machines | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Twist | TR21-4 screw-in thread | SodaStream Fizzi, One Touch, Crystal, Jet, Genesis, Source and Power, all Aarke Carbonator models, Indigo Soda machines, generic screw-in machines | Up to 60 litres |
| Easy Connect | Quick Connect clip | SodaStream Art, Terra, Duo, Gaia and Enso | Up to 60 litres |

Exchange your cylinder at more than 2,500 locations across Canada
Our network includes more than 2,500 partner retailers. Bring in your empty cylinder, leave with a full one and pay only for the refill.
The exchange also works if your empty cylinder is from another brand, as long as the connection format matches. The exchange location map helps you find the partner closest to your address.
Never run out of CO2 with Plan Bulle
A cylinder rarely runs out at a convenient time. The Plan Bulle is a subscription that delivers refills to your home at the frequency you choose, from every one to four months, and picks up your empty cylinders at the same time.
It is the best option if you drink sparkling water every day or if no exchange location is on your usual route.
Cylinders filled here to Canadian standards
CO2 cylinders are pressurized gas cylinders. In Canada, their manufacture, inspection and requalification are governed by the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations and technical standards overseen by Transport Canada .
That is why filling is done at a specialized facility, never at home. Each reusable CO2 cylinder is inspected before being returned to circulation, and a safety valve releases CO2 safely if pressure exceeds the intended limits.
Switch to a reusable CO2 cylinder today
Choosing a reusable CO2 cylinder solves three things at once: cost per litre, container clutter and dependence on imported refills. You can choose the right format in ten seconds by looking at the back of your machine, and the network of 2,500 exchange locations takes care of the rest.
Identify your model, then order your reusable CO2 cylinder or find an exchange location near you.
FAQ
How many litres does a 60 L reusable CO2 cylinder make?
A 60-litre reusable CO2 cylinder produces up to 60 litres of sparkling water, the equivalent of about 170 cans avoided. Actual output depends on the carbonation level you choose: the longer you hold the button, the more gas you use. By reducing the number of presses, you extend the life of each refill and delay your next exchange.
Are reusable cylinders compatible with a SodaStream machine?
Yes. Two models cover the two connection systems on the market. The purple Classic Twist cylinder fits machines with a TR21-4 thread, such as the Fizzi, One Touch, Crystal, Jet, Genesis, Source and Power. The turquoise Easy Connect cylinder is designed for Quick Connect models, including the Art, Terra, Duo, Gaia and Enso. Simply check the connection method at the back of your machine before ordering.
Where can I exchange an empty reusable CO2 cylinder?
More than 2,500 partner retailers across Canada accept exchanges: grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores and hardware stores. Bring your empty cylinder to the store and leave right away with a full one, paying only for the refill, starting at $12.50 plus tax. The interactive exchange location map lets you filter partners by region and city to find the most convenient one. No appointment is required.
Can I safely keep a CO2 cylinder at home?
Yes, as long as you follow simple storage rules. Cylinders are made to strict specifications and fitted with a valve that safely vents CO2 in case of overpressure. Keep your cylinder upright in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and away from any heat source. Never try to refill or modify it yourself. Upright storage is sufficient.
