Sparkling water used to be an occasional treat for most people, with connotations of luxury and indulgence. But it’s now a staple, especially since it has all the refreshing appeal of soda without the unhealthy sugar, diet sweeteners, or caffeine.
Demand for sparkling water has grown, but so too has the public’s awareness of how wasteful canned and bottled forms of sparkling water can be.
That’s why today, savvy homeowners are abandoning entry-level carbonation devices or unwieldy cases of cans, and instead investing in the highest-quality countertop sparkling water dispensers. In addition to providing users with filtered, chilled, sparkling water at the moment they need it and with the press of a button, the water they produce also tastes better, and the whole system is far healthier and more sustainable than its alternatives.
Why More People Are Drinking Sparkling Water at Home
The rise of sparkling water is part of a larger trend in the realm of wellness. We want to enjoy drinks that are refreshing and flavorful without the abundance of sugar and calories found in so many popular options. Sparkling water is carbonated like soda, so it offers a similar sensory experience, but there’s no question that it’s a more healthful choice for daily hydration.
The more sparkling water you and your family consume, the more likely you are to end up dealing with storage issues, such as recycling bins constantly overflowing with bottles or cans. This can detract from the supposed convenience of canned and bottled forms of sparkling water.
The first generation of at-home sparkling water makers did their best to resolve some of these issues, but they didn’t always hit the mark in practice. They made users less reliant on cans or bottles, but they had their own inconveniences that made them imperfect daily solutions.
Modern countertop systems, on the other hand, offer a truly seamless, “all-in-one” experience for those who drink lots of sparkling water at home.
Issues With Traditional Sparkling Water Makers
Many traditional sparkling water dispensers use manual carbonation. This can mean dealing with tedious pumping or cranking mechanisms. Keeping the carbonation levels consistent can also be tough, so you never know exactly what to expect when you pour a glass.
Most traditional sparkling water makers don’t include what we would consider to be the essential step of filtration. If you opt to skip a step and carbonate unfiltered water, you’re likely to taste impurities and chlorine.
They also overlook the element of water temperature. If they don’t include built-in chilling, which many don’t, the water must be refrigerated before or after you carbonate it.
Reasons to Choose a Countertop Sparkling Water Dispenser Instead
All the issues we listed above? State-of-the-art countertop water dispensers completely solve all of them. Dispensers like the Kül Spark combine filtration, temperature control, and carbonation to give you delicious sparkling water with the press of a button.
This is another level of day-to-day convenience. You’ll always have chilled, consistently carbonated sparkling water available when you need it. It’s even more convenient than cracking open a can or a bottle.
These types of systems are also bottleless, which means you’ll never have to replace anything. They can be connected directly to a water source, so you and your family have access to as much water (still and sparkling) as you need throughout the day. Especially if you’re busy, this is a major benefit.
Budget and Environmental Benefits of Making Sparkling Water at Home
The cost of canned or bottled water can really add up, with households spending more than a thousand dollars a year on prepackaged sparkling water. On the other hand, although high-quality countertop sparkling water systems are more of an up-front investment, they cost very little to use and maintain.
These systems are also much more environmentally friendly than the alternatives. Every can or bottle of sparkling water comes with all kinds of environmental costs: manufacturing, transport, packaging, and refrigeration. Recycling the used container at the end of its life cycle isn’t enough to counteract all of these. With a bottleless sparkling water system, you can produce significantly less waste and emissions, and all this with no need to sacrifice flavor or convenience.
