Indigo Soda: the Quebec alternative to SodaStream cylinders for your sparkling water machine

Over the past few years, sparkling water machines have taken over many kitchens.

SodaStream, Ninja Thirsti, Aarke, DrinkMate… more and more households have adopted the habit of making their own bubbles at home.

It’s convenient.

It’s eco-friendly.

And it avoids buying cases of cans.

But there’s one detail many people don’t think about…

The price of CO₂ cylinders.

And that’s exactly where we discovered an interesting alternative.

A Quebec alternative for your bubbles

A local company, Indigo Soda, offers a very simple solution:

you can exchange your empty cylinder for a full Indigo cylinder — no matter the original brand.

Yes, even if your cylinder came from another company.

The process is very simple:

1️⃣ Bring your empty cylinder to an Indigo Soda exchange location

2️⃣ The brand of the cylinder doesn’t matter

3️⃣ Leave with a full Indigo cylinder

And that’s it.

According to comparisons, it can cost up to 35% less.

A CO₂ cylinder filled in Quebec

Another detail we appreciate: Indigo cylinders are filled directly in Saint-Eustache, Quebec.

So in addition to lowering the cost, you’re also supporting a local company.

And they’re becoming easier and easier to find.

Indigo Soda is now available in more than 2,500 exchange locations across Canada, including:

• grocery stores
• pharmacies
• hardware stores
• neighborhood shops

There’s a good chance there’s one not far from you.

Which cylinder to choose for your machine

The only thing to check is which cylinder type is compatible with your sparkling water machine.

Here’s a quick guide:

🔹 Screw-in machines

A small everyday optimization

At LVA, we often talk about groceries and flyers.

But sometimes savings also come from small everyday decisions:

the product you choose, the service you use… or even the cylinder powering your bubbles.

If you already have a sparkling water machine at home, this is the kind of small optimization that might be worth knowing about.

And if the alternative is local, that’s even better.
