Empty SodaStream cylinders feel lighter, show no CO2 spray, and trigger low-gas alerts.
SodaStream cylinders are empty when they feel noticeably lighter than full, fail to release CO2 when the lever is pressed, or trigger a low-gas warning on your machine. Most standard 60L cylinders last 4-8 weeks depending on usage. You can also check the weight: a full cylinder weighs about 1.6 kg (empty weight plus 425g CO2), while an empty one is just the cylinder weight.
Signs Your SodaStream Cylinder Is Empty
- Reduced or no carbonation when pressing the button
- Leaking or hissing sound stops completely
- Machine display shows a low-gas or empty indicator
- Physical weight is much lighter than when full
How to Check SodaStream Cylinder Status
- Remove the cylinder and feel its weight
- Shake gently-no sloshing sound means it's likely empty
- Press the carbonation button-no gas release confirms emptiness
- Check your machine's LED or display for gas alerts
