A Sodarizer can sit right there on the counter, ready to make fresh sparkling water, and still get used less and less over time.
There’s nothing wrong with it; it just never became part of the day. The moment something isn't automatic, busy days find a way around it, and "I'll make some later" quietly turns into another week of not touching it.
The fix is smaller than it sounds: tie it to something you already do.
Give It One Small Habit
Think about what already happens in your day without much thought. An afternoon break. A drink after a workout. Getting dinner started around the same time most nights.
Pick one of those, and let your Sodarizer take part in it.
During your afternoon break, make a fresh glass of sparkling water instead of reaching for a can. It takes about as long, and you control exactly how it tastes.
After a workout, carbonate a bottle before you jump in the shower. It's ready and cold by the time you're out.
Before dinner, make a bottle while everything else on the stove is coming together. By the time you sit down, it's already cold and fizzy.
You don't need all three. One is enough to start.
The other half of building the habit is removing the small stuff that gets in the way. Keep a bottle of cold water already in the fridge instead of starting from the tap each time, and keep the machine somewhere you'll actually see it. Tucked in a cabinet, it's easy to forget it exists at all.
Not Every Pour Needs A Special Occasion
Trying a new recipe or making drinks for guests is fun, but it shouldn't be the only reason your Sodarizer comes out.
Plain sparkling water counts. So does a quick glass with lunch, or one poured half out of habit while you're making dinner anyway. Add juice, fruit, or your usual flavors when you're in the mood for something more, but an ordinary Tuesday is reason enough on its own.
The brands that end up unused aren't the ones that got poured wrong. They're the ones that were waiting for an occasion that never came.
Don't Let An Empty Tank Get In The Way
There's one thing that can stop a new habit before it sticks: an empty CO2 tank.
The more you use your Sodarizer, the more CO2 you'll go through, which is exactly what you want. But it also means running out becomes more likely right when the habit is starting to feel automatic. A spare tank means you can swap it in and keep pouring instead of pausing the routine to wait on a refill.
Sodarizer's nationwide CO2 refill service also means restocking doesn't have to mean an extra errand. Order ahead, and the next tank is already on its way before you need it.
Don't let an empty tank be the reason you stop. Keep a spare ready so the next pour is never the one that breaks the streak.
