CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING PART
OF THE UNBOTTLED MOVEMENT
Our patented Carbon8 Reactor mixes water and CO2instantly, creating an infinite stream of sparkling water.
All you need to do is use the touch button on the top of the device and sparkling water is beautifully dispensed
into any glass or bottle.
Get rid of wasteful PET bottles that need to be filled and attached to the carbonator.
The removable 2-liter water tank can be stored in your refrigerator or refilled with cold water and even ice.
A UV light is integrated into the water tank to eradicate bacteria, viruses, microcontaminants, and algae, to
ensure ultra-clean sparkling water.
Note: Products that include gas under high pressure should always be handled with care. Please read
carefully the safety guidelines and the manual of the product before using it.
Keep this user guide for further reference. Make sure to include this guide when passing on the Carbon8 to
third parties.
WE CREATED THE CARBON8 INFINITY STREAM WITH ONE MISSION IN MIND:
A SUSTAINABLE INSTANT SPARKLING WATER DISPENSER THAT IS EASIER TO USE
THAN ANY EXISTING SYSTEM.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING! Before using the Sparkling Water Maker, please read this
important safety information, to reduce the risk of personal injury and
damage to your product.
The Carbon8 is designed and intended for private use (at home and in
the office) and is not suitable for commercial purposes. The
manufacturer only guarantees household issues.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any consequences and faults
caused by not following the instructions. The warranty does not cover:

Before the first use, rinse the water tank with lukewarm water. Alternatively, you can use a soft cleaning
sponge (or cloth) and a non-irritating detergent to clean the water tank.
SPECIAL REMINDER
Caution for Ultraviolet radiation: The Sparkling Water Maker is
using Ultraviolet light. Do not look at the UV light directly because
this can irritate the eyes and skin.
Do not use the product around flammable objects, and do not place
it next to objects that can be easily deformed by heat. The product
should not be used on surfaces such as carpets and plastic.
Always place the product on a dry, stable, flat, and

cleaning alcohol, or other chemical solutions since these can
penetrate the housing or impair functionality.
Do not immerse key parts such as the main body, power cord, and
power plug in water or other liquids. It is not allowed to rinse the
main body with water, to prevent the water from leaking into the
electrical circuit and causing malfunctions.

Fill the
Water tank
When re-inserted correctly, there is no gap between the bottom
of the tank and the base. Do not carbonate if the tank is not
resting on the base.
Even though Carbon8 works with room temperature water, cold
water carbonates better. Add some ice into the tank or keep the
water tank in the fridge, so you have one ready to carbonate.
Before the first use, rinse the water tank with lukewarm
water. Alternatively, you can use a soft cleaning sponge (or
cloth) and a non-irritating detergent to clean the water tank.
Open the cover and fill the water tank with cold, clean water
up to the marked filling line.
WARNING! Do not carbonate anything other than water. Other
liquids can contaminate and clog the internal parts,
potentially resulting in excessive pressure and serious injury.
To remove the water tank for filling or refrigerated storing,
push the tank back and up.
The Snap-Lock will release the tank, and you can lift it
vertically up.

Start
carbonating
Click and Sip. Now that your water tank is filled with cold water or
even water with ice we are ready to create instant sparkling water.
Different from other carbonators, you don’t have to adjust the
carbonation by giving it multiple pumps to reach a sophisticated
medium-high carbonation level.
The disinfection function will automatically run and the ambient
light will be shining into the glass throughout the carbonation
process.
Press and hold the touch screen button on the top and after
a 2-second delay, sparkling water will flow into your glass or
bottle until the desired sparkling water amount is reached. Lift
your finger to stop with a 1-second delay.
Note that the pump and carbon reactor will charge while
carbonating, and you will hear a humming sound. This is
normal. There is also a small splashy discharge in the end to
purge the line.
We recommend using taller glasses or to hold smaller glasses
closer to the spout to avoid splashes. Some drizzles are normal
as we are using an infinity stream that instantly creates bubbles
into your glass.

GAS, UV DISINFECTION,
AND WATER FILTER
Our CO2 comes from renewable sources within the agricultural
industry in the United States. That’s because we extract our CO2 from a
source that’s already being released into the atmosphere, rather than
introducing new, unnecessary CO2 that would negatively impact the
environment.
Our CO2 is harvested from the atmosphere using biogas generators
that recapture methane gas that would have been emitted into the
atmosphere by decomposing organic materials.
One step further, it is then purified and certified safe to become a
food-grade gas for sparkling water machines.
UV light is integrated into the water tank to eradicate bacteria, viruses,
micro contaminants, and algae, for clean sparkling water.
Carbon8 is the only Sparkling Water Maker and dispenser
that also offers a filter technology that allows you to use
tap water.
Available in Spring 2023.
The UV disinfection function automatically runs while carbonating
and dispensing the water and will stop as you lift your finger from
the touch control.
Even though the UV light will automatically shut off after you remove
your finger, make sure to not look at the light directly. UV light can
irritate the eyes and skin.

KEEPING YOUR SPARKLING WATER MAKER
BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN
This carbonator is made of brushed aluminum. To clean your
carbonator we recommend using a micro fiber cloth and water. If
needed you could use some mild soap. Do not use strong detergents
or a cleanser with an abrasive substance.
To clean the water tank use clean lukewarm water with a mild
detergent. If using a dishwasher brush, make sure the brush is
intended to be used for cleaning plastic bottles and do not leave any
scratches. Do not use solvents, strong detergents, or cleansers with
abrasive substances. Do not wash the water tank in a dishwasher.
Remove the drip cover from the tray, dump excess water, and rinse
and dry.
