SodaStream Source: Why does water squirt everywhere when carbonating water?

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 18:47:05 -0700

I have been given a soda stream as a birthday gift which sprays water everywhere when you try and carbonate water. There is a small red/orange peg about 5mm long loose in the box, I’m wondering if this could be the culprit? I don’t have the receipt as it was a gift and the purchaser doesn't’ either and doesn’t live in the same country as me. It seems a waste to chuck it but it’s of no use to us in its current state. Any advice?

SodaStream Source: Why does my soda stream bypass release gas while still gassing bottle

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 13:07:35 -0700

Recently every time we try to re gas our bottles the by pass seems to activate straight away & is not gassing the bottles correctly. We are using way more gas than required

The carbonating button on my Sodastream Jet has broken - cheap piece of plastic. This is the 3rd one it has happened to. Does anyone know where to buy one? The pin slides out just like on a watch band.

SodaStream: How to fix water leak issue with SodaStream Crystal 2.0

Thu, 11 Jul 2024 02:42:27 -0700

I'm experiencing a significant issue with my SodaStream Crystal 2.0 and hoping to get some advice or solutions.

The problem:
When I use the carbonation feature, there's a considerable water leak from the top part of the machine. After carbonation, I notice water visibly dripping for a long time, pooling inside the bottle container and at the base of the machine. Additionally, when the container and bottle are still pressurized, I hear a gurgling sound from the release valves, which I haven't noticed in other machines of the same model owned by friends.

Troubleshooting so far:
I removed the top cover to inspect the source of the leak. When I used the carbonation feature without the top on, I observed a substantial amount of water being emitted from the two valves circled in red in the picture.
The water was ejected with such force from the left one that it even made the ceiling above the machine wet. It seems that, somehow, the water is traveling back when the bottle is still pressurized.

Additional Info:
I'm being careful not to fill the provided glass bottles over the max level marked clearly visible on the bottles.

Background:
From what I've gathered, this issue doesn't seem to be isolated. I know at least one other person who had the same problem, and I found on Reddit an old post where two more people reported similar issues. Unfortunately, none of these posts had any solutions.

Seeking DIY Fix:
The machine is out of warranty, so I'm looking for any ideas or DIY fixes that could help resolve this problem. Has anyone else faced this issue and found a solution? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

SodaStream Source: Why will the lever not push back fully with a bottle inserted?

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 17:46:49 -0700

The device has worked fine until now, but when I insert a bottle now the lever won’t fully go back into position. It works fine without the bottle but now it won’t work.

Has something broken or bent? I can’t see anything different up there. We have it on two different machines now.

New Zealand SodaStreams have a different thread for gas canisters. I’d rather continue using my existing machine than buy a new one. Where can I get a replacement part to allow me to use the local gas canisters?
