Why buy from Alia

Overview

Disposable CO₂ cylinder for the Alia Fizz-X

Disposable CO₂ cylinder for the Alia Fizz-X

CO₂, or carbon dioxide, is the gas that puts the bubbles in sparkling water. This cylinder sits under your sink and feeds your Alia Fizz-X, which mixes the gas into chilled, filtered water.

So you pour sparkling water straight from the tap whenever you like, from a light to a strong fizz.

The gas is food grade, the same kind used in food and drink. There are no bottles to buy or carry home.

When the fizz starts to fade, you swap in a new cylinder and the bubbles are back.

Key facts

Key facts about the Alia CO₂ cylinder for Fizz-X

Here's how the cylinder fits into life with your Fizz-X, with the key facts at a glance.

Why Alia

Why choose the Alia CO₂ cylinder for Fizz-X

    Labelled E 290, the food additive code for carbon dioxide. The safety data sheet lists it at 99.99% or higher, for use in the food industry.

  • Clean fizz you can adjust

    CO₂ is colourless and odourless, so nothing gets between you and the taste of your water. The Fizz-X lets you set the fizz from light to strong.

  • Made for the Fizz-X

    Fits the Alia Fizz-X sparkling unit only. It isn't compatible with other sparkling water machines or soda makers.

  • Built to a standard

    A steel cylinder made in Italy to EN ISO 11118, the standard for non-refillable metal gas cylinders, and tested to 163 bar.

  • Disposable by design

    Single use, non-rechargeable and stamped DO NOT REFILL. When it's empty, dispose of it according to your local government requirements.

  • A long shelf life

    Use it within 5 years of the manufacture and testing date printed on the label, so a spare cylinder in the cupboard isn't wasted.

How it works

How the CO₂ cylinder carbonates your water

Here's the cylinder in the Alia boiling, chilled and sparkling system. All three waters come from one tap, but only sparkling uses the CO₂. Follow the gas from the cylinder to your glass.

  1. Cold mains water goes through the F5000L filter before anything else, so the water that gets the bubbles starts out filtered.

  2. The cylinder sits under the sink and holds food-grade CO₂ under pressure. It's the part of the system that supplies the bubbles.

  3. The regulator on top of the cylinder controls how much CO₂ goes to the Fizz-X unit. Turn it to choose a light or a strong fizz.

  4. Inside the Fizz-X unit, the CO₂ dissolves into chilled, filtered water. Cold water holds CO₂ better, which is why the water is chilled first.

  5. Choose sparkling at the tap. Boiling and chilled water come from the same tap and pour still, because only the sparkling setting uses the CO₂.

Questions

CO₂ cylinder for Fizz-X FAQs

Can't see your question? Ask our team, or call (03) 9219 0189.

What is the Alia CO₂ cylinder for the Fizz-X?

It's a disposable 2.2 L steel cylinder of food-grade carbon dioxide (E 290). 2.2 L is the size of the cylinder.

It holds 1,200 g of CO₂, enough for around 6–8 months of sparkling water in a typical home.

E 290 is the food additive code for carbon dioxide, so it's the grade used in food and drink. It supplies the gas the Alia Fizz-X sparkling unit uses to carbonate chilled, filtered water.

Is it a refill or a new cylinder?

It's a new, full cylinder. It's disposable, so you replace your empty one with it.

It isn't a refill and it can't be recharged.

Is the CO₂ safe for drinking water?

The cylinder is labelled E 290, food grade, and the safety data sheet lists the carbon dioxide at 99.99% or higher, for use in the food industry.

That means at least 9,999 parts in every 10,000 are carbon dioxide. It's made for carbonating drinking water in the Fizz-X.

Will it fit other sparkling water machines or soda makers?

No. It's designed for the Alia Fizz-X sparkling unit only.

What do UN 1013, Class 2.2 and H280 on the label mean?

UN 1013 is the international code for compressed carbon dioxide, so anyone handling the cylinder knows what's inside. Class 2.2 means it's a non-flammable, non-toxic gas.

H280 is the warning that the cylinder contains gas under pressure and may explode if heated, so keep it cool.

How do I know it's time for a new cylinder?

Look for three signs. The fizz gets weaker, carbonation takes longer than usual, or there's no fizz at all because the cylinder is empty or the pressure is low.

Swap it promptly to keep your Fizz-X performing.

How long does a cylinder last?

It depends on how often you pour sparkling water and how strong you set the fizz.

In a typical home, a cylinder lasts around 6–8 months. So most homes use about two cylinders a year.

How do I fit a new cylinder?

These steps come from the cylinder label:

  1. Read the safety data sheet before use.
  2. Work in a well-ventilated area.
  3. Remove the protection cap from the valve.
  4. Connect the approved pressure regulator to the discharge valve.
  5. Set the outlet flow and pressure from the regulator.
  6. Handle with care and avoid shocks.

Follow the instructions that came with your Alia Fizz-X for anything specific to your model. Unsure? Call (03) 9219 0189.

Do I need a regulator?

Yes. The cylinder must be used with the approved pressure regulator. Never try to repair or modify the valve or the safety relief device.

Can I refill the cylinder myself?

No. It's a disposable, non-rechargeable cylinder, stamped DO NOT REFILL. Never try to transfer gas from one cylinder to another.

How should I store a spare cylinder?

Keep it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight and below 50°C, and out of the reach of children. A parked car in summer can get hotter than 50°C, so don't leave the cylinder in the car.

Use it within 5 years of the manufacture and testing date printed on the label. That's plenty of time to keep a spare ready for when the fizz runs out.

Is it safe to use at home?

Yes, when you handle it as the label says. Use it only in a ventilated area, because high concentrations of CO₂ can cause asphyxiation.

Never pierce or burn the cylinder, even when it's empty. If someone feels unwell after breathing a lot of CO₂, move them to fresh air and seek medical attention if breathing problems develop.

For advice, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. The full details are in the safety data sheet.

How do I dispose of an empty cylinder?

Make sure it's empty, then dispose of it according to your local government requirements. The label says the steel cylinder goes to a multi-material collection centre and the plastic support to sorted waste collection.
