Any idea what the washer size is?

aylamaiiathree - Jan 16, 2021

I am curious about this too. Regular hose washer size?

I was experiencing flat soda, and I finally found that the place where the co2 was escaping. Over the years, the straw part of the machine had come unscrewed just enough to allow the gas to escape. If you are not getting fizzy soda, also check the tightness of the straw part.

Thank you for submitting this! I have one of the original Sodastream machines (Mother’s Day gift 2011) and use it almost daily for sparkling water. Suddenly had problems with a new refill and thought I’d have to replace the washer or perhaps even the machine. Turns out it was the straw thing being loose. You saved me a trip to the hardware store and then replacement cost for a new machine when the washer didn’t fix it!

YES! This was my problem and you solved it. Took me less than a minute to fix. I suspect this is more likely the issue with most machines, rather than washers that can’t be replaced. Thanks for the tip!
