Best Sparkling Water Makers in Singapore: 6 Options Compared (2026)

Singapore buyers have several distinct types of sparkling water maker to choose from. SodaStream still dominates the market, while other options suit different budgets, kitchen setups and water-purification needs.

This guide compares the main types you can realistically buy in Singapore right now: manual SodaStream models, an electric SodaStream, Drinkmate's multi-drink carbonator, the design-led Aarke, and Velta's combined purifier and carbonator. They are not interchangeable, and the cheapest option is the right answer for many homes.

Soda Maker or Sparkling Water Purifier?

"Soda maker" is the everyday name for a countertop carbonator: it adds CO2 to water you have already filtered or poured yourself. A sparkling water purifier filters the water first and carbonates it inside the same machine.

If you are happy with the water you already drink and only want bubbles, a soda maker is the cheaper and simpler tool, and most of this list falls into that category. The combined machines are only worth comparing if you also want purification and temperature control from the same appliance.

How We Compared These Machines

This comparison draws on official Singapore product pages, published dimensions, included accessories, warranty information, CO2 compatibility and prices checked on 14 July 2026. It does not represent hands-on testing of every machine. Promotional prices can change, and the cited seller links carry the latest figures.

Velta sells the HydroSpark+, which is included because it is the only option here that combines reverse-osmosis filtration, heating, chilling, and carbonation. We have made that commercial interest explicit and do not treat its extra functions as an automatic win: if you only need carbonation, a SodaStream or Drinkmate costs far less.

Quick Comparison Table

This table places price, operation and main use side by side.

SodaStream Terra

Price: ~$219.90 SGD | Manual | No power needed

The Terra listed by SodaStream Singapore is the range's entry-level model. It uses the Quick Connect system for CO2 cylinders, which means you snap the cylinder in rather than screwing it. It's a small detail, but it makes swapping cylinders noticeably less awkward.

You fill the included 1L bottle with cold water, lock it into the machine, press the button on top a few times until you hear a buzz, and you've got sparkling water. The whole process takes about 10 seconds.

The Terra comes with one 60L CO2 cylinder and a 1L BPA-free bottle. SodaStream listed exchange cylinders at $29.50 when this guide was updated and publishes its current exchange options online. The stated yield is up to 60 litres, with actual output depending on carbonation level.

Pros: Cheapest option, no power needed, widely available, CO2 refills are easy to find across Singapore.

Cons: No water filtration (you're carbonating whatever water you put in), carbonating bottles have a printed expiry date, and fizz level depends on how you operate the manual control.

If you just want to try making sparkling water at home, this is the obvious starting point.

SodaStream Art

Price: ~$289.90 SGD | Manual | No power needed

The Art performs the same job as the Terra with a different design. A top lever replaces the push button and gives the machine a more mechanical, retro appearance.

Functionally, there's no performance difference between the Art and the Terra. Same Quick Connect CO2 system, same bottle size, same carbonation output. You're paying roughly $70 more for the design and the lever mechanism.

Pros: Good-looking machine, satisfying lever action, same reliable carbonation as the Terra.

Cons: $70 premium for aesthetics, still no water filtration, same CO2 cylinder limitations.

Best for: People who care about how their kitchen appliances look and don't mind paying a little extra for it. If your sparkling water maker is going to sit on the counter every day, the Art is the nicer object to live with.

SodaStream E-Terra

Price: ~$369.90 SGD | Electric | Requires power outlet

The E-Terra combines SodaStream's Quick Connect CO2 system with electric carbonation. You get three preset fizz levels at the press of a button, plus the easier cylinder swapping.

It is the most expensive SodaStream in the current Singapore range. Its three presets are designed to produce more repeatable carbonation than manual pumping, while the Quick Connect system avoids screwing the cylinder into place. Whether that is worth $150 more than the Terra depends on how much you value powered controls and presets.

Pros: Best SodaStream experience overall, Quick Connect CO2, electric with three fizz levels, consistent results.

Cons: Most expensive SodaStream option, still needs a power outlet, still no water filtration.

Best for: Frequent sparkling-water drinkers who value powered controls and repeatable presets. The convenience becomes more relevant with several uses each day.

Drinkmate OmniFizz

Price checked: $199 list; $165 sale | Manual | No power needed

The Drinkmate OmniFizz sold by Drinkmate Singapore has one important advantage: it can carbonate drinks other than plain water. Its removable Fizz Infuser lets you add bubbles to juice, iced tea, cocktails, wine, or a drink that has gone flat. SodaStream instructs owners to carbonate plain water only and add flavour afterwards.

The Singapore package includes a one-litre bottle and a standard 60L screw-in CO2 cylinder. The machine is narrow at 13cm wide and needs no electricity. Drinkmate lists a two-year manufacturer warranty and operates a local distributor and cylinder-exchange service.

Pros: Carbonates more than water, narrow footprint, local distributor, cylinder included in the listed bundle.

Cons: More parts to rinse after carbonating sugary drinks, proprietary bottle and Fizz Infuser, manual operation.

Best for: Households that want sparkling juice, cocktails, tea, or other drinks rather than only sparkling water.

Velta HydroSpark+

Price: S$2,988 | Countertop | Electric | Tank or pipe-in water supply

The HydroSpark+ is a fundamentally different product from the carbonators above. It's a countertop reverse-osmosis water purifier, hot-and-cold dispenser, and sparkling water maker in one machine. It can run from its removable 5L source-water tank or connect to a water supply using the included pipe-in kit.

This means you don't need separate purifier and carbonator appliances. You select ambient, hot, chilled, or sparkling water from the machine, and the display provides filter and CO2 reminders.

Its composite cartridge combines sediment, carbon, reverse-osmosis, and post-carbon stages before carbonation. Singapore tap water is already safe to drink; the reasons to consider this format are the combined dispensing functions, taste preference, and avoiding multiple appliances.

Pros: Purified still and sparkling water, hot and chilled dispensing, adjustable fizz, tank and pipe-in modes, no bottle attached to the nozzle for each serving.

Cons: Far higher upfront cost, needs electricity and counter space, filter and CO2 replacements add to ongoing costs, much more machine than a household needs if it only wants carbonation.

Best for: Households already shopping for a purifier and temperature-controlled dispenser that also want sparkling water. It is not a cost-effective substitute for a $200 carbonator if carbonation is the only requirement.

Aarke Carbonator III

Price: ~$380-$425 SGD | Manual | No power needed

Aarke is a Swedish brand focused on design-led sparkling water makers. The Carbonator III has an all-stainless-steel body with clean Scandinavian lines and a more architectural appearance than most plastic carbonators.

It uses SodaStream-compatible 60L CO2 cylinders, which is a major advantage in Singapore since you can use SodaStream's existing exchange network for refills. Mechanically, it works the same way as a manual SodaStream: fill the bottle, lock it in, push the lever down, and release to carbonate.

Aarke does not list a dedicated Singapore store, so availability is mainly through import and marketplace sellers. Local warranty coverage and an included cylinder therefore depend on the seller. The Carbonator III was commonly listed around $380 to $425 when this guide was updated.

Pros: Stunning design, all-metal build, uses SodaStream-compatible CO2 cylinders, compact footprint.

Cons: Premium price for the same basic function, limited Singapore availability, seller-dependent warranty, CO2 cylinder not included with some sellers.

Best for: Design-conscious buyers who want their sparkling water maker to look as good as it works.

How to Choose

Here's the short version:

• Tightest budget: SodaStream Terra. Under $220, works well, easy to find.
• Want to carbonate juice or cocktails: Drinkmate OmniFizz. Its removable infuser is designed for drinks beyond plain water.
• Want it to look good: Aarke Carbonator III if you can stretch to $400+, or SodaStream Art at $290 if you'd rather stay in the SodaStream ecosystem.
• Already have a water purifier: SodaStream, Drinkmate, or Aarke. You only need carbonation.
• Want purified + sparkling + hot/cold water: HydroSpark+. One machine instead of separate purifier, dispenser, and carbonator functions.
• Want preset fizz without manual pumping: SodaStream E-Terra.
• Just trying it out: SodaStream Terra. If you end up not using it much, you're only out $220.

For most people in Singapore who only want to carbonate water, the SodaStream Terra is the most economical place to start. SodaStream also publishes a local cylinder-exchange network. Upgrade from there only if you have a specific need it does not cover.

Running Costs Compared

The upfront price is only part of the picture. CO2 yield varies with fizz strength and water temperature, so manufacturer figures are best treated as maximums rather than guarantees.

At SodaStream's stated exchange price and maximum yield, CO2 works out to about $0.49 per litre. Stronger carbonation reduces the number of litres a cylinder produces. Drinkmate and Aarke use a different screw-in connection from SodaStream's current pink Quick Connect system, so compatibility depends on the exact connector rather than the general cylinder size.

HydroSpark+ cannot be compared on CO2 alone because its price also covers purification, heating and chilling. Its total five-year cost includes current filter and CO2 replacement prices alongside the separate appliances a household would otherwise buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth buying a sparkling water maker in Singapore? It can be if you drink sparkling water regularly and will keep the machine accessible enough to use. SodaStream lists up to 60 litres from a $29.50 exchange cylinder, or about $0.49 per litre at maximum yield. Calculate your break-even point using what you actually spend on bottled water and allow for lower cylinder yield if you prefer strong carbonation.

Can I use Singapore tap water in a sparkling water maker? Yes. PUB states that Singapore tap water is suitable for drinking directly from the tap without further filtration. Chill it before carbonating because cold water generally holds CO2 better. If you prefer filtered water for taste, filter it first or use a system that filters before carbonation.

Where can I buy SodaStream CO2 refills in Singapore? SodaStream Singapore publishes its current exchange options and locations. The machine model determines whether it uses the pink Quick Connect cylinder or the older screw-in type.

Do Aarke and SodaStream use the same CO2 cylinders? The Aarke Carbonator III uses standard 400–425g/60L screw-in cylinders. That is not the same connector as the pink Quick Connect cylinder used by current SodaStream Terra, Art, and E-Terra models. The seller can confirm the exact cylinder and local exchange arrangement.
