The normal low-cost CO2 cylinders from Lidl and Migros (with screw cap) are compatible with Philips sparkling water machines as they fit the standard screw cap systems. Migros explicitly confirms the compatibility of its cylinders with standard sparkling water devices. Make sure that these are the "old" screw cap cylinders, not the patented Quick Connect systems as with newer SodaStream models. If you are unsure, contact Philips customer service or test the fit.
Yes, one CO2 cylinder is included with the product. The cylinder has a capacity of 425 g and can produce up to 60 litres of sparkling water depending on your carbonation level preference.
If the Starworld cartridge is a standard CO2 cylinder with a screw thread and a capacity of 60 litres, it will fit the Philips Water ADD4902BK sparkling water maker.
Aldi's CO2 gas is not specifically mentioned as being compatible with this water carbonator. However, this model is compatible with standard 60-litre CO2 gas cylinders, including those from Sodastream. It is therefore likely that Aldi CO2 is compatible if it is a standard 60-litre cylinder, but it is advisable to check that the format and connection correspond to those recommended by the manufacturer.
This sparkling water maker uses the standard CO2 bottles with the screw cap (like almost every manufacturer except Sodastream). You can find them here: CO2 Zylinder
For the Philips GoZero Sprudler (ADD4902BK), here are the compatibility details for the bottles you mentioned:
- Steel bottle from the same manufacturer (Philips): Yes, you can use the steel bottle specifically designed for the Philips GoZero Sprudler. The user manual states that the soda maker is designed to be used exclusively with Philips bottles, including steel bottles.
- Sodapop glass bottle: No, the Sodapop glass bottle is not compatible. The Philips GoZero Sprudler is designed to work only with specific Philips bottles, and using bottles from other manufacturers may cause damage and safety risks.
