Why Drinkmate's CO2 Exchange Is the Easiest Way to Save Money on Sparkling Water
Quick answer: Drinkmate's CO2 Exchange rewards you every time you send back an empty cylinder — so the more you carbonate, the more you save. It's cheaper than buying new CO2, cheaper than bottled water and soda, and it works whether or not you even own a Drinkmate machine.
Your CO2 Gets Cheaper the More You Use It
Most people assume refilling CO2 is just a maintenance cost. With Drinkmate, it's the opposite: every empty cylinder you return earns you a coupon toward your next order. The habit that used to cost you money now partially pays for itself.
You Quit Buying Bottled Water and Soda for Good
One refillable cylinder replaces roughly 169 cans or bottles. That's not a one-time swap — it's every refill, indefinitely. Once you're in the habit of exchanging instead of buying disposables, the savings compound month after month in a way a single soda-maker purchase never could.
No More Wasted Trips or Wasted Time
You're not driving to a store, hoping they're in stock, or standing in line to swap a cylinder. The exchange comes to you and leaves from you — which means the time you'd have spent on a CO2 run goes back into actually using your machine, not maintaining it.
It's Not Locked to One Brand
You don't need a Drinkmate machine to benefit. SodaStream, SodaSense, Thirsti, Aarke, and Philips owners can exchange too. That means switching to this system doesn't require replacing equipment you already own — the savings are available immediately.
Free Shipping Both Directions
There's no hidden cost eating into what you save. Return shipping is free, and qualifying orders ship free as well, so the money you'd normally lose to shipping fees stays in your pocket instead.
The Bottom Line
The value isn't really the exchange itself — it's what it replaces: fewer store runs, fewer disposable bottles, and a lower cost per refill every time you do it. For anyone who carbonates regularly, that adds up to real, recurring savings with almost no extra effort.
