Is your water less sparkling than usual? It might be time to replace your refill. Here are a few simple steps to know when to change your CO2 cylinder.
1. Check that the cylinder is properly screwed in or clipped
An improperly installed cylinder can lead to a lack of bubbles.
- Make sure it is correctly in place in your machine.
- Check the compatibility of your cylinder by consulting our guide on which cylinder to choose based on your machine model. Rest assured, our Indigo Soda cylinders are 100% compatible with all machines on the market. You just need to distinguish between the two types of connection: screw-in (Twist) or clip-on (Easy / Quick Connect) when exchanging at a grocery store or pharmacy.
2. Weigh the CO2 cylinder
The weight of a cylinder varies whether it is full or empty.
- Full cylinder: approximately 1160 grams.
- Empty cylinder: approximately 750 grams.
If your cylinder becomes lighter, it is probably time to exchange it.

FAQ
How do I know if my SodaStream CO2 cylinder is empty?
The most obvious sign is a sudden loss of pressure: if you no longer hear the characteristic hiss or if the water no longer fizzes despite several presses, the gas is exhausted. To be sure, the recommended method is to weigh the cylinder: a weight close to 750 grams indicates that it is empty.
How long does a gas refill usually last?
On average, a standard cylinder can carbonate approximately 60 litres of water, depending on the desired intensity of bubbles. If you use your machine daily, plan for an exchange every 4 to 8 weeks. It is advisable to keep 2 to 3 spare cylinders so you are never caught off guard.
Where can I exchange my empty cylinder in Canada?
You can return your empty cylinder to one of the 2,500 partner exchange points across the country. This allows you to get a full refill at a fraction of the price of a new cylinder. You can use our map to find the Indigo service point nearest you.
