Description
The Aarke Carbonator 3 Matte Black 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 in a sophisticated matte black finish, the Carbonator 3 combines minimalist Scandinavian styling with straightforward, completely cordless operation.
Making sparkling water is simple. Fill the supplied bottle with fresh water to the marked filling line, attach it to the Carbonator and press the stainless steel carbonation lever until you hear the buzz. Aarke recommends between one and three presses for the best results, while additional presses can be used if you prefer a stronger level of carbonation.
The Starter Kit includes a CO₂ gas cylinder filled with food-grade CO₂, so you have the essentials required to start carbonating. 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. Because the Carbonator 3 requires no electricity or power connection, it can be positioned conveniently on your kitchen worktop without needing to be close to a plug socket.
Built with longevity in mind, the Carbonator 3 has been tested for more than 10,000 carbonation cycles. The Matte Black Starter Kit also includes a stainless steel drip tray cover, Aarke cleaning cloth, extra gasket and user manual, while registering the product with Aarke provides a 3-year Aarke Warranty.
