Description
The Aarke Carbonator 3 Steel Starter Kit gives you everything you need to start making fresh sparkling water at home. Designed in Sweden and engineered with a stainless steel body, the Carbonator 3 combines Aarke's distinctive minimalist styling with simple, completely cordless operation.
Creating sparkling water couldn't be easier. Fill the supplied bottle with fresh water to the marked filling line, attach it to the Carbonator and press the stainless steel carbonation lever. Aarke recommends between one and three presses for the best results, allowing you to adjust the amount of carbonation to suit your taste.
The Starter Kit includes a CO₂ gas cylinder filled with food-grade CO₂, so you can start carbonating without purchasing your first cylinder separately. A single cylinder can carbonate up to 60 litres of water and the Carbonator 3 accepts standard 400–425g / 60L screw-in CO₂ cylinders approved for sparkling water makers.
The supplied 1 litre BPA-free PET bottle has an 800ml marked filling line for carbonation and is made from food-grade virgin PET. The Carbonator 3 itself requires no electricity or power connection, giving you greater freedom over where it can be positioned on your kitchen worktop.
Built with longevity in mind, the Carbonator 3 has been tested for more than 10,000 carbonation cycles. The Steel Starter Kit also includes a stainless steel drip tray cover, Aarke cleaning cloth, extra gasket and user manual, while registering the Carbonator with Aarke provides a 3-year Aarke Warranty.
