Got this local does the bottle need to be twist on? It no longer buzzes when carbonating and not fizzy enough.

Hey, Mike... are you concerned about the water bottle or the canister? If it's the water bottle, I'd return it.

No twisting. When it's clamped in place that's it. Sounds like your canister needs to be replaced. BTW, if it "buzzes" you're waiting gas at that point. Better to do two short charges without causing the buzz.

The bottle does not need to be twisted on. You may have run out of the "gas" in the cartridge in the back and need to replace it. Or, if it is a fairly new cartridge, you may have a faulty one. I had that happen once and when I put in a different cartridge everything worked just fine. I took the faulty one back to the store and they replaced it free, hopefully your merchant will as well if this is the case. I hope this helps.

Likely you need the carbonator replaced. Go to Target and exchange for a full one. The bottle has to be twist on and it has to be the specific type that came with the unit.

The water bottle slides up and into place as the mechanism comes down. The CO2 canister (bottle?) twists into place in the back - you have to remove the back. I'm not sure which bottle you mean. If its not fizzy, you should check on whether you need to replace the CO2 canister.

The bottle just snaps in, but I have the same problem. I thought my canister was empty but it's just the machine. In fact I don't even use it anymore. I wish I had bought it locally so I could return it. ..

It's been a couple of years since I used my sodaStream (I found a much more effective, efficacious, and much less expensive way to carbonate liquid) but I do remember that one of the many criticisms of sodaStream, , posted online, was poor carbonation. I also found that to be true in my own experience with that product. I wish you the best of luck with this product.PS; see my other posts on sodaStream for more details. . .

i have two bottles and just bought a new empire co2 tank (off amazon) and no matter how i adjust the SodaMod adapter pin, the new tank does not work. any tips? (i know how to adjust the adapter pin up and down but that doesnt work). could the new bottle be over filled? one time it blasted out co2 but then stopped working after that

I haven't refilled yet but I know in the instructions it is very specific about not turning the bottle upside down...I wonder if there is an air bubble in there or if something is clogged? Send it back to Amazon before the warranty is up...I have made the mistake on waiting on other products and I was out of luck.

As per the instructions, after inserting the flexible tube from the can into the wine bottle I insert the original cork at an angle until it is snug around the plastic tube into the neck of the bottle, and when finished injecting the gas into the bottle I push the cork into the bottle as the plastic tube is removed, with a twisting motion on the cork. This works perfect everytime. One trick, wet the end of the cork with some wine before so it will twist back into the neck of the bottle. Good luck......Cheers !

I use it with a Piper system and No mine dose not wine or buzz. Only when it's set off or un-plugged will it chearp or sound. Yours might be defective , I would exchange or return it. Hope this helps.

I used it for ginger beer and the bottles exploded a few months later in my pantry. I would suggest getting a devise (hydrometer for beer and wine tasting) that checks the intensity of the carbonation. I will get one before I do it again. The bottles that survived were very good and had bubbles like champagne.

hold onto the handle and twist to the left.. if it dont budge try holding it under hot tap water for a minute or so and try again.. its very hard turning and i cant do it when it is really on there good, my husband does tho so u might ask a guy u know if u still cant get it, but sometimes the hot water allows me to get it off, this is not good but i love the keg otherwise~! good luck with yours!

If you fill the bottle and put it in your refrigerator until it is cold, and then try to carbonate it, more carbon dioxide will dissolve into the water and make it fizzier. Also, when you remove the bottle or the lid, allow the pressure to equalize very slowly. The slower it equalizes, the greater the amount of carbon dioxide that will remain dissolved in the water. I have 4 refill bottles to ensure that I always have a cold bottle to carbonate.

If the twisting motions previously mentioned do not work I would try running water into the bottom hole or submerging it to allow the water to loosen the seal. I know I needed to do something like that to loosen mine but it's been so long that I can't remember if I ended up needing to actually submerge it.

No buzzing from my frige. I sent it back for a refund. The frige fell apart when I took it out of the box.

I left mine in the fridge after making a batch, only using about half one day - and then used the other part about three days later - still fizzy. I don't know beyond that. Actually, I liked the taste of mine better after sitting for a while, it seemed to lose the after taste (I think it is the carbon brand I am using that does that).

You have it buzzzzz once or twice for low carbonation. I like mine in the very bubbly side so I have it "fart" 4-5 times before I take it out

I don't know the answer to your question because I sent it back. I wasn't impressed at all with the carbonating ability. Also was expensive to ship back. I would suggest you purchase at a store so you can return it without any expense to you. Maybe I just got a bad unit.

I have done that and it does retain a good amount of its carbonation. Mind you it's not going to be as carbonated as it was at first but it's still pretty good. I also kept mine in the refrigerator for the time being which will help it remain carbonated.

I bought other chargers on Amazon, they didn't fit as well, so it wouldn't give the charge of soda. So, I stuck a small piece of paper towel on top of the charger to tighten up the fit, worked fine. I love the charger, it was for our up north cottage, so I didn't have to take bottle seltzer up and the other soda streams didn't fit under our counter (and we had limited space). Good luck

Pretty much the same as any other growler out there. Once you introduce air (open and take a pint) the clock starts ticking. If you are looking for something to keep draft beer carbonated while you enjoy it for several days or a week, check out GrowlTap. It was originally called TapItCap which screws onto most glass growlers and you have a tap and CO2 hooked up to it. I love mine and it does a great job keeping beer fresh.

This bottle us very large, about twice as large as the last soda container I used. I noticed it right off by the weight if the bottle when empty. But I haven't noticed it only fizzing only half the bottle. I do try to use it within 2 days as the fizz tends to weaken after sitting around more than that. If I have it laying around longer than 2 days, I actually push the nozzle to dump the water as I want to keep it fresh and clean as possible. I actually like the smaller container as not as heavy and doesn't take as much water. But it tajes the same charger whether either container. When I refill a new batch, I usually shake it like 20-30 times and use realky cold water which makes it fizz better. This bottle us very large, about twice as large as the last soda container I used.
