The penguin doesn't make a clicking sound though, it kind of whistles at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1890214 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 11:50:33 +0000 JerricaBenton 1890214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: @aegie: same! If I try to pump more than 3 or 4 times I actually feel some resistance and it'll be too fizzy. No clicking though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1890100 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:50:30 +0000 aegie 1890100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: actually i think you and I have the "older version" because mine's from a few years back. I'm the same way, I twist and lock then press the top button thing down 3 times. Plenty fizzy and should I dare to pump again, usually that means an explosion when I unlock the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1890095 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:48:14 +0000 Mommy Finger 1890095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe I have an older model (it's 3 yrs old) but mine doesn't click. I just hold the button down until I hear it sort of buzz and do that 3 times. It's always super fizzy, unless the tank is running low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1890092 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:47:22 +0000 Mamaof2 1890092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: ha! that's my fear - the bottle will explode!!! :shocked: </p> <p>I assume I am doing it right... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1890090 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:46:15 +0000 aegie 1890090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>are you locking it in properly? seems like such a silly question, but sometimes my DH doesn't twist and lock in the bottle tight enough so the CO2 leaches out and takes more pumps to get it fizzy. For me, more than 3 pumps means explosion waiting to happen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1889886 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:25:11 +0000 ShootingStar 1889886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We could never get ours fizzy enough and ended up returning it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1889884 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:23:00 +0000 Mamaof2 1889884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: ok thanks - I will take a look when I use it today </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1889877 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:10:24 +0000 Jess1483 1889877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh. Good question. I guess I got a feel for it after I used it a couple times, but it's probably mostly the concentration of bubbles around the outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1889873 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:06:44 +0000 Mamaof2 1889873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: ok one more question - how can you tell its fizzy enough by looking at it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1889869 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:05:27 +0000 Jess1483 1889869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually. Though occasionally I stop earlier when I can tell it's fizzy enough for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1889867 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:04:23 +0000 Mamaof2 1889867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: do you ALWAYS pump until you hear a click? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1889862 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 09:03:16 +0000 Jess1483 1889862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to pump between 8 and 10 times. Always have. My pumps usually last 4-5 months, so that doesn't seem bad to me. Right now it is running out, so I had to pump 15ish times last night. One for a refill! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-soda-stream#post-1889825 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 08:32:01 +0000 Mamaof2 1889825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many pumps do you use to make it fizzy and do you always hear the "click"</p> <p>The 1st time I tried it it took 3 pumps and then it clicked and it was nice and fizzy.</p> <p>The 2nd time it took 4 pumps to hear the click</p> <p>The 3rd time I never heard the click and stopped after 6 pumps.</p> <p>WTH? Why is it different every time? Is it defective? </p>
