Are you paying too much for your bubbles?
Have you ever calculated your monthly budget for sparkling water cans? For sparkling water enthusiasts, it's hard to do without. Fortunately, there's a way to save money, avoid clutter, and reduce pollution. Here are the results of our comparative calculations.
Buying cans or a sparkling water maker?
Investing about a hundred dollars in a sparkling water maker and its 60L CO2 refill remains the most economical and ecological choice for consuming sparkling water. Here's why the numbers speak for themselves.
When purchasing a device, it usually includes a full CO2 cylinder.
- Machine: The cost is approximately $100.00.
- Cans: For the equivalent of 60 L of a popular brand, this represents 14 cases for a total of $83.86.
The difference seems small at first, but profitability comes very quickly.
Once you own the device, you only pay for refilling your CO2 cylinder.
- Indigo Soda Cylinder: Starting at $12.50/month for 60 L, or only $0.20 per liter.
- Cans: Still $83.86/month for the equivalent of 60 L.
Quick impact on your wallet
As early as the second month, you save over 85% compared to buying cans. The machine purchase is therefore paid off in just eight weeks.
What are the other benefits associated with CO2 refills?
In addition to reducing your grocery bill, opting for homemade sparkling water offers concrete advantages:
- No more managing deposits:
Forget about bags of empty cans cluttering the garage and the time wasted returning deposits.
- Zero waste:
The bottles in which we carbonate our water are re-sealable. No more half-full cans thrown away.
- Reduced environmental footprint:
You reduce waste production and make the work of sorting centers easier.
- Unlimited access:
In Canada, drinking water is freely accessible. Your machine transforms this resource into sparkling drink in a few seconds.
Conclusion
Who doesn't want to reduce their average grocery bill? Especially right now…
With an entry-level machine, families with normal use of the appliance (60 litres of water/month) should see a return on investment after only two months. Annually, this represents a saving of approximately $700. Not to mention all the time wasted managing empty cans, as well as the amount of energy and waste produced.
In short, it simplifies your life (especially if you're a bubble enthusiast)!
FAQ
What is the total annual saving with Indigo Soda?
By replacing the purchase of cans with a sparkling water maker and the Indigo Soda exchange system, an average family saves approximately $700 per year. This calculation includes the amortization of the machine from the first two months of use.
Why are CO2 refills cheaper than store-bought cans?
Refilling is an economical solution because you only pay for the gas. In stores, the price of a can includes the cost of aluminum, the transportation of water (heavy and bulky), and distributor margins. With Indigo Soda, you use tap water and a reusable cylinder for years.
Is it possible to save even more on the purchase of the machine?
Yes! To maximize your return on investment, you can watch for sales or buy a used machine. No matter the device, it is necessarily compatible with our cylinders because we refill both screw-in and clip-on (Quick Connect type) cylinders.
