Here out this long weekend? Camping, booked a getaway in a B&B, don't forget to take your soda machine with you....it just might get lonely.
Did you know there are several options even when you have no power...
no problemo!
Check out the Art, Aqua Fizz, Gaia and Terra, Fizzi, Jet, Genesis and Source these are all manual machines. ( some take the Classic, some take the Quick Connect)
They are even handy to have as back ups if the power goes out and you're wanting a cool fizzy waiting for it to return.

Have you ever wondered where the "hump day" term came from?
Here's what some say, Wednesday first came to be known as hump day back in the 1950s. The expression figures Wednesday, the middle of the workweek, as the hump people get over to coast into the weekend. Then in September, 2013 thanks to a popular commercial by the insurance company GEICO with a camel asking co-workers what day it is, it all took off!
Whatever you call Wednesday....Hope you were able to call it a good one!
Remember.....Long Weekend One The Way......

Want to elevate your sparkle? Have you tried these?
Sparkle a bottle of fresh, cold water with your machine, then add any of these....your Classic syrups, Diet syrups, Fruit Drops, Organic Soda Press, and Fruits syrups.
(Always fizz water before adding any flavor.)
Our 2 favs are the diet gingerale and the diet root beer ( mostly stevia sugars)

There's nothing more refreshing than a crisp fizzy drink, and your soda machine lets you indulge your carbonation cravings in the comfort of your own home with its easy-to-use devices.

๐Here's a few helpful tips on getting the most out of your Refilled Canister.
1.FULLY REMOVE the top blue covering we have put on your canister after we cleaned and sanitized it. You want to make sure you have a unobstructed connection when screwing in the canister, same if using the quick connect type.
2. You want an air-tight connection, the bottle shouldnโt touch the bottom of the appliance, it kind of just hangs there.
3. If your bottle is worn from use or warped from heat or dishwasher, be sure to replace it- air-tight connection is needed.
4.Place Classic canister in machine turn until snug, it takes several turns-if to loose, gas can escape if the seal is not there. (you would have then lost some co2 and your canister won't last as long.) You may think it's a faulty canister, but many times it's not that, itโs to do with it not being screwed in tight enough. For the Quick Connect be sure you have fully pulled down the handle.
5.Like any home appliance it's good practice to keep your machine clean. Remember to wash and wipe the up-side front part where your sodastream bottle screws or locks into the machine.
6. Finally, Once done carbonating, let your bottle sit untouched in the machine for up to 40 secs for the carbonation to spread thoughout otherwise you may be less fizzy than you would want.
Happy Fizzing!

Unplug to Recharge!
Do you unplug...Do you leave work and really leave work?

Some people really look forward to Friday and their last day of work.
Whichever you are we hope you take time at some point to unplug!
Remember.....Unplug to Recharge!
In the nature of our business we don't fully unplug in case a customer needs help, but nothing is really life threatening in our line of work....well maybe-HEHE!

๐ Itโs cost effective: There's big savings in not buying canned pop, not paying full retail price for canister exchanges.
๐ We're creating a lot less waste for the environment: huge reduction of bottles hitting the land fills.
๐ Drinking more for better hydration: A US Toluna water study found that people consume 3 more glasses of water per day with a Soda Machine.

Inquiring Mind?
The science of Carbonation.
1-SURFACE CONTACT between CO2 and the fluid is where the gas absorption happens. The more surface contact between the CO2 and the water, the faster it will be absorbed. A lot of bubbles moving around quickly, means a lot of surface contact and therefore a lot of gas absorbed by the water faster. This wonโt happen on its own, remember that the gas wants to just float up and sit calmly above the water, not dive down, hence the psst psst of pushing the co2 into the bottle being used for fizzing
2- PRESSURE allows the water to absorb the CO2. When carbon dioxide gas is added to cold water under pressure, the gas will dissolve into the liquid. The level of carbonation achieved will depend on the pressure applied. Leaving a rest time before removing the bottle from the machine lets the co2 disperse throughout.
3-COLD is key to carbonation. Bubbles are created through the absorption of co2 into liquid. As the temperature of the liquid decreases, more CO2 can be absorbed by the liquid. So the colder the start water the better!

Savings $$ Is Always In Vogue - https://mailchi.mp/sodaexchange/call-us-the-inflation-buster-9521729
Did You Know These Tips To Great Bubbles.
๐Cold water holds carbonation better. Bubbles love cold water! For best results, chill your filled bottles in the fridge before carbonating.
๐Re-carbonating your sparkling water. If your bubbly is not fizzy enough, you can re-carbonate as much as youโd like! But we don't recommend carbonating after adding syrup as it can clog the spout and lower the efficiency of your machine.
๐Always store your carbonating canister in a cool and dry environment, such as your pantry. Do not expose or store canisters near a heat source, or leave them out in the elements.
Every carbonating canister is fitted with a unique safety valve, which will safely release the gas in the unlikely event the pressure in the carbonating cylinder rises.
