Is your sparkling water from your Billi or Zip tap coming out a little flat? Or perhaps you just want to know how long you can go before getting a Billi or Zip CO2 replacement? Read on to get the answers you need.
How Long Do Zip and Billi CO2 Bottles Last?
- Zip 2.6kg (4.0L) Bottle: Provides up to 430 litres of sparkling water before replacement.
- Zip and Billi 1.0kg (2.2L) Bottle: Delivers approximately 165 litres of sparkling water.
We offer convenient 2-pack pricing for both Zip and Billi CO2 bottles, ensuring you're never caught without a spare.
Make Your Bottles Last As Long As Possible
Both commercial-grade Zip and Billi sparkling water systems let you adjust the carbonation levels. Keep in mind:
- Higher carbonation: While more bubbles can be delightful, increasing the setting beyond what’s recommended by your AquaClear technician reduces the number of litres per bottle.
Replace Bottles Regularly For Safety
All food-grade gas bottles should be replaced every 24 months, even if they’re not empty. Gas bottles have a shelf life, and replacing them on time ensures safety and performance.
How to Check CO2 Levels in Your Bottle
- For the Zip HydroTap G5: The screen alerts you when the CO2 level drops to the last 20%.
- For Older Systems: Check the regulator pressure gauge on the cylinder:
- A needle pointing left into the yellow zone signals low CO2.
- Adjust the knob at the top of the cylinder to restore pressure.
- If the needle doesn’t return to the green zone, the bottle needs replacement.
Spring: The Season Of Sparkling Water
The first warm weeks of spring bring a surge in sparkling water use. Anecdotally, here’s why:
- Warmer weather prompts people to switch from hot drinks to chilled, sparkling water.
- Office buzz: Once one person rediscovers the sparkling water tap, it spreads like wildfire through the workplace.
- Jugs for meetings and large bottles quickly drain the CO2 supply.
Save Time And Hassle—Keep A Spare
Because sparkling water popularity fluctuates, especially in warmer months, predicting CO2 consumption can be tricky. That’s why we recommend keeping a spare bottle. It saves on freight costs and ensures uninterrupted sparkling water.
