Aarke refills

Aarke CO2 refills, delivered across NZ

Keep the Aarke you love and just swap the gas. Your Aarke uses a standard 60L screw-in cylinder, so our food-grade certified refill fits it perfectly, delivered to your door.

Your Aarke takes a standard screw-in cylinder

The Aarke Carbonator is a beautifully made machine, and the good news is that it does not need a special cylinder. It uses the same standard 60L screw-in CO2 cylinder that SodaStream, Philips and Breville machines use. That means our refill fits your Aarke without any adapter or workaround.

You do not have to part with your machine to keep it running. You simply send the empty cylinder back and we return it filled with certified food-grade gas. The machine stays on your bench looking exactly as good as the day you bought it.

A premium refill for a premium machine

Every cylinder is filled to 450g, more than the 400g to 425g industry norm, with food-grade certified CO2 refilled locally in New Zealand. You get a cleaner, more reliable pour and more sparkling water between swaps. For a machine chosen on quality, the gas inside it should match.

How it works

  • Order online with a 2-cylinder minimum.
  • Full cylinders arrive at your door, NZ-wide.
  • Empties go back in the same box with the free prepaid return courier.

Price and deposit

Refills are $29 per cylinder. On your first order there is a $10 refundable cylinder deposit that is returned to you when cylinders come back. Returns are free and prepaid, so the only thing you do is swap an empty for a full one.

We compete on convenience, safety and certified food-grade gas, not on undercutting the supermarket. If you are still choosing a machine, see our soda makers, or order your gas refill now.

How often will you need to swap?

A full 60L cylinder carbonates around 60 litres of water, which is several weeks of sparkling water for a typical household. With the 2-cylinder minimum you always have a spare ready, so your Aarke never sits idle waiting on gas. The 450g fill stretches a little further than a standard refill, which means fewer swaps across the year.

Caring for your Aarke and its cylinder

Keep cylinders upright and away from heat, and store them out of reach of children. The cylinder itself needs no maintenance between refills. When it runs flat, it goes back in the box and we return it filled, so your routine is just swap, carbonate, repeat. Nothing about the gas changes the way you use the machine you chose.

Common questions

Does your refill fit the Aarke Carbonator?+

Yes. Aarke uses a standard 60L screw-in CO2 cylinder, the same fitting as SodaStream classic, Philips and Breville. Our refill fits it with no adapter.

Do I send my own Aarke cylinder back?+

Yes. You return your empty cylinder and we send it back filled with food-grade certified CO2, so you keep using the cylinder that came with your machine.

How much CO2 is in each cylinder?+

Each cylinder is filled to 450g, which is more than the typical 400g to 425g industry fill, giving you more bubbles between swaps.

What is the cost and minimum order?+

Refills are $29 per cylinder with a 2-cylinder minimum. There is a one-off $10 refundable deposit, and the prepaid return courier is free.
