HI. I stupidly thought this would have the C02 inside it when it got here. How do I even go about finding a place to fill this up? Thanks

This was a pain for me as well. If there are any dive shops around you they might be able to help. Also welding supply shops are a good source for CO2 refills. They may ask you to exchange your brand new tank instead of refilling it. Good luck. Dick's sporting goods might be able to help but they didn't have a large enough scale when I visited mine. They usually refill paint ball tanks.

I would look for your local Airgas or homebrew store. My local homebrew store charges $3/lb.

Go to any welding department store and they should be able to fill it for you.

Hi, any Safety Supply company can fill it, or check with your local HVAC, and Welding Supply companies. Also for great advice on operation of the CO2 call your local Craft Brewery. Be patient with the Co2, we leaked out the entire first bottle accidentally..

Search online for CO2 refills, Air gas supply, welding supply in your local area. Food grade, or beverage grade CO2 is what you need. If you are near Marlborough, MA stop by Strange Brew.

Hi David, We are not allowed to send Co2 tanks under pressure. As said in the other comments, there are a number of places that you can get your tank filled, welding shop, gas/air stores, paint ball stores, and some home-brew stores. I suggest you be sure and check about keeping your NEW co2 tank or if they exchange(you will more than likely get a used tank on the exchange).Hope this was helpful.Tommy G.

I had this issue when I got a 10 pound tank for my Soda stream. I ended up going to a welding supply. It only costs me 17 dollars to fill a 10 lb tank....

I spoke with my son. He said that it's Co2 that gets filled when he goes to the paintball place. They have to ship it to you empty.

REPLACEMENT CHARGERS ARE SOLD ON AMAZON AND THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER WEBSITE. LESS EXPENSIVE CHARGERS ARE available but they don't fit perfectly, are slightly shorter. I solved that problem by putting a small magnet on top of the less expensive co2 cartridge when it's fitted in. works fine then.

You have to buy co2 seperatly. And careful putting them in. The bolts to tighten them up are only plastic i snapped one

Everyone I've ever bought way shipped empty. I'd imagine there is some rules to shipping a pressurized container via the mail. The good news is, airgas inc can fill it for around 26$ and you'll get about 4 kegs out of it.

Do you have gas for it? A full new canister ? Is it connected correctly? Can you light it with a match?

I believe it's called a, Rega Carbon. You can replace it but will need to find one. Not sure if they are in stock right now.

Hold it up at to the light,so you could kinda see through it and fill it up. You'll see both chambers fill up to top. Take off the sticker it will help.

To fill you rotate to the backside and you will see a hole labeled "gas". Insert butane nozzle and fill.Hope this helps

I take mine down to the local welding supply store. They have CO2, Oxygen, Propane, Butane, Acetylene, etc. I had a cool looking bottle that came with mine, silver color with black logo on the side. They would not fill it for me. I had to exchange it for a scratched up full one, but nobody opens the door and says, "Ewe gross" or anything like that. :)

I have not had to exchange mine yet (just got it a couple of weeks ago) but according to walmart.com you take the empty cylinder to customer service at walmart and they will give you a replacement for $14.97. You can buy a spare cylinder for $30 at walmart so you are not without one when you run out. Then when one is empty you just run it by the store. Again this is just what I have read in the Q&A; at walmart.com http://www.walmart.com/ip/SodaStream-CO-2-Spare-Carbonator-60-Liter/21081324

They have empty and full. The item in the link is for a full. I bought the empty and took it to the local gas dealer and swapped it for a full one with no hassles. I didn't see the benefit of paying to ship a full tank because when you refill it you have to swap it out anyway.

Mine came through a dealer, and so was serviced. Direct shipments often arrive with a partial fill that has to be completed before first used. There should be instructions on what to do, depending on your shipment option. Always check the level before using.

Hi, I get the refill bottles at either WalMart or Bed Bath and Beyond, which ever store I'm closest to. Both stores have the refill bottles of CO2 and the various flavors to use with your Soda Stream.

Most gas stations have a coin operated air fill station. The air fill station/ air compressor will have a chuck on the end of the air line to fill the tank with. Some buyers have a super large compressor which is too heavy to carry so they buy this small tank to fill to carry. Thanks Thomas

the only other thing then the splatter, you are going to need to get an adapter for the bottle, i picked mine up at my suppliers for about $17-18.00 . i did see one on amazon and ebay for the same price. just look for a co2 tank-argon tank adapter. one set of threads are in and the other is out for saftey

There was a insert that came with part that fits inside. You take a ratchet with extension on it and turn clockwise, this is after you've put the past in the hole. As you turn the insert it tightens up on the tank, Keep turning until tight, turn on water and make sure it doesn't leak past if it does tighten some more, remove insert and store somewhere where thou can find it again. It's really quite simple just takes some time tightening it up.
