Why is my SodaStream GAIA™ Sparkling Water Maker not carbonating properly?

1. To insert the BPA-free carbonating bottle screw the BPA-free carbonating bottle into the Sparkling Water Maker by turning it to the right until there is a ‘click’ sound.
2. The bottle is inserted correctly, when there is a small gap between the bottom of the Carbonating Bottle and the base.

Try re-carbonating by pressing the carbonating button in short 1 second presses; 3 presses for standard carbonation and 5 presses for strong carbonation.

Sparkle Note: You may see small pieces of ice appear in the water during carbonation of very cold water. Any ice created will simply melt. Make sure not to push too hard and Remember to always fizz water before adding any flavor.

To check if you’re out of CO2, first make sure the SodaStream Quick Connect Cylinder is properly inserted in the cylinder holder (which might be either Black or Pink) with the cylinder handle lowered. Once you’ve checked this, push the carbonating button a few times to see if CO2 is entering the bottle and check for bubbles.

If you're out of CO2 click here to find a store near you or exchange your cylinder online.
