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?
If your SodaStream Source is leaking during carbonation, see the SodaStream Source is Leaking During Carbonation problem page. Common problems include the carbonation bottle not being inserted in a completely upright position, not fully attaching the bottle, and using a starting liquid other than plain water or unflavored carbonated water.
