FAQ - Soda Maker

Welcome to
the ecxiting world of Soda Makers!

Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned pro, this FAQ section has got you covered.
Discover everything you need to know about your new favorite kitchen appliance and learn some insider tips along the way.

What are the bottles made from?

Our bottles are made from BPA free plastic. They have a life span of 2 years! And can be recycled at the end of their life.

Can I carbonate beverages other than water?

The DrinkMate/ Basic, Iconic, Dynamic and The Slim models of the Sodafresh Soda Maker can carbonate any beverage, but we recommend only carbonating water with the Rhapsody and the Purific model.

Are batteries included?

No, Sodafresh Soda Makers do not require batteries or electricity.

Our Soda Makers use manual carbonation, so you don’t have to worry about electrical shocks or running out of batteries. Simply use the machine according to the instructions and enjoy your freshly carbonated beverages.

Can I re-fizz a drink that is flat?

YES!

If you’re drinking plain sparkling water, the answer is YES!  as long as the water reaches the water fill line on the carbonating bottle.

And if you already prepared a drink with flavor, the answer is still YES!

Since not only water can be carbonated in the Soda Maker, you can re-carbonate once you’ve added flavor.

How long does the sparkling water last before going flat?

Carbonated beverages can last up to several days when stored properly. However, they may lose some of their carbonation and flavor over time.

The rubber seal on the cap keeps your soda water from going flat as quickly as ordinary store-bought beverages. If you make sure to close the cap tightly, and keep the bottle in the refrigerator, your soda water should remain fizzy and fresh for up to two weeks.

I'm pressing the carbonating button, but nothing is happening?

It sounds like you may be out of CO2. If that is not the case, please contact our customer support team to troubleshoot the issue.

How do I know if my CO2 cylinder is empty?

Few things that tell you when your CO cylinder is empty:

When you press the carbonating button you will not see any gas going into your bottle of water.

Even after repeated presses your water is not carbonated.

The carbonator splutters, showing you have run out of CO

Pro-tip: Keep a spare CO2 cylinder handy so that when one cylinder runs out, you simply swap the empty cylinder for a full one.

When I press the carbonating button on my soda maker nothing happens. Can you help me troubleshoot the issue?

Troubleshooting suggestions:

1. Tighten the cylinder into place to verify that it is full.

2. Ensure that your sparkling water maker is always in an upright position.

Is Sparkling Water healthy?

Sparkling water does not erode your teeth enamel.

Long Answer:

  • Sparkling water is often wrongly associated with the erosion of tooth enamel, but that’s a myth.
  • It’s not the carbonation in sparkling water that causes damage to tooth enamel, but rather the added sugars and acids found in soda and other sugary drinks.

When is my water sufficiently carbonated?

When maximum carbonation is reached, you will hear a distinct “zisssshhhhhh” sound, indicating that the machine has released excess gas through the safety valves. However, the level of carbonation can vary based on personal preference. We recommend experimenting with different levels of carbonation to find your perfect sparkling drink. Check out our tutorial videos for more tips on carbonation levels.

The temperature of the water / beverage has a big impact on the ability of the liquid to hold CO2. The colder the better.

My carbonation bottle did overflow – what now?

If you carbonate a beverage other than plain water with the Rhapsody and the foam did overflow, don’t worry!

Short answer: Remove the gas tank and rinse the machine inside out under the water tap.

Long answer: There are no electrical parts inside the Sodafresh Soda Maker, so it is completely safe to remove the gas tank and rinse the machine inside out under the water tap. After that, re-attach the tank and flush the system by carbonating a plain glass of water. This should solve the issue.
