Gone are the days when you only had sparkling water when you ordered it at a restaurant for the table. We can now enjoy making our own sparkling water at home – great when you’re after a refreshing drink on a hot summer’s day or when you’re entertaining. But what is the best way to make carbonated water at home?
Sparkling Water Machines
There are many different types of sparkling water machines on the market these days. It can be hard to decide which one is right for you.
Billi has been designing and manufacturing under-sink filtered water machines for over 30 years, so we know a thing or two about high-quality drinking water systems and carbonation machines.
If you like your water with a bit of bubble and want to carbonate water at home, here is the low down on carbonated water machines for home.
Carbonation Machine Vs Filtered Sparkling Water Taps
There are two main types of carbonation machines on the market: those that require you to buy CO2 canisters and carbonation machines that use filtered tap water.
Whilst carbonation machines have a lower initial investment, there are the ongoing costs of canisters, and the plastic bottles also need replacing over time – which means more plastic in landfills.
With water straight from the tap, the water isn’t filtered either, you also need to pull out the carbonation machine or keep it on the bench cluttering up your benchtop to manually add carbonation every time you want sparkling water.
Why Choose Our Carbonated Water Machines For Home?
So, with years in the water filtration industry, we’ve found that one of the best ways to make carbonated water at home is with our under-sink filtered water carbonation machines.
But what makes them so good?
- You have sparkling water on demand, whenever you want it
- Water is filtered through our premium filters that remove chemicals, minerals, and cysts from your water so you have peace of mind knowing you have the highest quality sparkling water in your home
- With our carbonation machines, we use innovative Ice Bank Technology that allows a far greater level of CO2 saturation resulting in sparkling water that tastes fresher & better
- Our systems include a feature that enables you to adjust the sparkling level to your liking
- Being an under-sink system, your bench top isn’t cluttered with an extra appliance. And our dispensers come in a range of stylish, modern designs to suit any decor
- They are quick, easy, and cost-effective to install (no cupboard cutouts required)
- We use industry-leading technology for energy efficiency and coupled with minimising plastic bottle use they are a more environmentally friendly way to carbonate water at home
- Our systems are Australian-made and designed
- Replacement filters are easily purchased online and are also easy to install yourself (you can also arrange for one of our technicians to replace them for you if preferred)

Carbonation Machines With Dispensers In Our Range
We offer a range of both residential and commercial carbonation machines. For use in offices or commercial spaces, we recommend using our SPEC Generator to determine the best system for your requirements.
Our carbonated water machines for home (residential) include:
- Billi Home BCS (boiling, chilled and sparkling water)
- Billi Home CS (chilled and sparkling water)
Where To Buy Under Sink Carbonation Machines
Our carbonated water machines for home use can now be purchased easily online where you can also book installation with a qualified tradesperson.
Alternatively, you can visit your local Billi stockist to view our range of carbonation machines and speak with your local water filtration experts about the best way to make carbonated water at home.

Due to the changing climate, rising pollution levels and Australia’s rapidly growing population, the demand for clean drinking water has never been higher. But despite the government’s best efforts to provide Australians with safe drinking water, our water quality at the point of consumption may not always be beneficial to our short or long-term health goals. This is why many Australians are considering water filtration systems for their homes.
With many different types of water filtration systems on the market, it can be hard to know which one to choose. Below, we look at the differences between whole house water filtration systems and under bench water filtration systems to help you determine what solution is best for you.
For over 30 years Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry. Our products are celebrated for their combination of functionality, performance and contemporary aesthetics and are proudly Australian-made and designed. Our water filtration systems incorporate cutting-edge eco-technology so they’re kind to the planet, modern designs and industry-leading features such as water-cooled technology, space-saving under bench footprints, and speciality dispensers. Here is what to consider when looking at whole house water filter systems vs under bench water filtration systems.
Differences Between Whole House Water Filter Systems And Under Bench Systems
When choosing a water filtration system, the practical considerations include budget, space, access to electricity and water, support, and maintenance costs.
A whole house water filter system is a large filtration system that sits between the mains water supply delivering filtered water around the entire property. They filter all the water used in plumbing and appliances, from showers to dishwashers and washing machines. Because whole house water filter systems are installed upstream of the water heater, they do filter both hot and cold water. Under bench water filtration systems sit inside the kitchen cabinet and are designed specifically to filter drinking water only. With the systems in our range, we have multiple water combination options that can include instant boiling, chilled, sparkling and chilled water on tap.
With whole house water filtration, sometimes reconfiguration in your plumbing system might be required to accommodate the complex parts of a complete water filtration system so this is something to keep in mind.
Typically, whole house water filter systems have a 30 to 50-micron filter as they need to be able to still allow normal flow of water through the filter. With under bench systems, you can have up to a 0.2-micron filter which provides the highest level of filtration for drinking water. With our units, you can choose the filtration level that best suits your needs.
Micron Water Filters
Our 0.2 Micron filter removes the following from your water:
- Particles
- Chlorine and organic chemicals
- Limescale
- Parasitic cysts including cryptosporidium & giardia
- Heavy metals
The 5-micron filter provides a more standard option to improve drinking water and removes the following:
- Particles
- Chlorine and organic chemicals
- Limescale

Other Water Filtration Considerations
Given the health & wellbeing benefits of drinking good quality water, often people choose to complement whole house water filtration with an under bench system to ensure they have the best quality drinking water whilst still having adequate filtered water for the rest of the house too. Water filters also improve the taste and smell of your water too so users tend to drink water more often so they’re more likely to meet the recommended daily water intake.
Another thing to consider is that whole house water filter systems have large cartridges because they need to treat a larger volume of water daily without reducing the flow rate whereas under bench systems have a much smaller cartridge so can be more cost-effective. With our systems, genuine replacement Billi filters are easily available on our website and from your local approved supplier. You can also replace them yourself (or we can arrange for a technician to do it for you if preferred).
Differences Between Complete Home Water Filtration And Under Bench Filters
When choosing a water filtration system, the practical considerations include budget, space, access to electricity and water, support, and maintenance costs. Complete home filtration systems offer different benefits to under bench systems – here are the main differences:
Complete Home Filtration Systems
- Complete home water filtration systems are large filtration systems that sit between the mains water supply and the home or property.
- A complete home filtration system delivers filtered water around the entire property. Because it’s installed upstream of the water heater, it allows hot and cold water to be filtered.
- Normally the complete water filtration of complete home water filtration systems reach 50-micron filter.
- Complete house filtration systems filter all the water used in plumbing and appliances, from showers to dishwashers and washing machines.
- Reconfiguration in your plumbing system might be required to accommodate the complex parts of a complete home filtration system.
- Complete home filtration systems have the biggest cartridges because they need to treat a larger volume of water daily without reducing the flow rate.
Underbench Water Filtration Units
- Underbench water filtrations are specialised filtration systems that sit inside the kitchen cabinet providing drinking filtered water.
- When installing an underbench water filter, the purpose is specifically to filter drinking water. This type of filter won’t protect the entire home’s plumbing and appliances.
- Under bench systems can provide the highest level of filtration for drinking water (0.2-micron filter)
- You can have instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water on tap with under bench systems
- Cartridge replacements are affordable and with installation, you can usually do the replacements yourself
Billi Under Bench Water Filtration Systems

They are designed & made in Australia to strict quality standards and feature modern, stylish dispensers available in a range of popular finishes. We offer several different water combinations in our range that can include instant boiling, chilled, sparkling and still-filtered water on tap.
Our range of under bench systems includes industry-leading features such as water-cooled technology, space-saving footprints, speciality dispensers, plus an extensive range of models that do not require cupboard ventilation cutouts or grilles.

We all know the importance of staying hydrated and that water is best for hydration… but these days, there are many different types of water to choose from. Below we run through what’s the difference between soda water and sparkling water, what’s the difference between soda water and mineral water, what is the difference between soda water and tonic water and what’s the difference between sparkling water and seltzer.
Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry for over 30 years. All our water filtration systems come with an assurance of quality, innovation & sustainability and are proudly Australian-designed & made to strict quality standards in our state-of-the-art facilities in Melbourne. If you’re keen to up your water intake but are confused by all the water options, here is what’s the difference between soda water and mineral water, sparkling water, tonic water and seltzer
What’s The Difference Between Soda Water And Sparkling Water?
The difference between soda water and sparkling water is that soda, like sparkling water, is carbonated with carbon dioxide to give it bubbles – however potassium bicarbonate and potassium sulphate are added to soda water to give it a slightly salty taste.
What’s The Difference Between Soda Water And Mineral Water?
The difference between soda water and mineral water is generally the level of carbonation (soda water tends to be more bubbly than mineral water) and the number of minerals in each. Mineral water has natural minerals in it (which are often removed from filtered water) and the carbonation occurs naturally as a result of the minerals in it (such as calcium and sodium). Soda water is carbonated with carbon dioxide gas and the minerals present in soda water have been added as opposed to occurring naturally. Some people also report a different taste when it comes to the difference between soda water and mineral water too.
What Is The Difference Between Soda Water And Tonic Water?
The difference between soda water and tonic water is that soda water has potassium bicarbonate and potassium sulphate added to it. In contrast, tonic water contains added quinine and sugar (which means it contains calories). Tonic water has a more distinct taste than soda water too.
What’s The Difference Between Sparkling Water And Seltzer?
When it comes to what the difference between sparkling water and seltzer, it’s just the name. Sparkling water and seltzer are essentially the same things – water, carbonated with carbon dioxide to make it bubbly.

Enjoy Different Water On Tap With Our Water Filtration Systems
The good news is that whilst there are many different types of water, our water filtration systems make it easy for you to have a variety, on tap in your home. You can have instant boiling, chilled, still and sparkling water, whatever you feel like – and what’s more, our water filtering process removes all the nasties whilst still allowing minerals to flow through so you’re always drinking the best quality water.

Tea’s purported health benefits and massive variety make it an attractive choice for both summer and winter drinking, but with all these different kinds it can be a daunting learning curve to go from a standard English Breakfast bag to cold infusing your own teas.
Whether you already like a steamy cup of chamomile before bed or are dreaming of a refreshing glass of cold-brewed fruit-infused tea on a sunny afternoon, Billi’s instant boiling and chilled water systems can change how you make your favourite drink, keep reading to learn how to make infused teas easily at home or in the office with a Billi water system.
Step-by-Step Guide to Infused Teas
Tea infusions are drinks made by steeping plants or fruits in hot water. This probably sounds like making a regular cup of tea, but is generally used for ‘teas’ not made from the actual tea plant such as fruit or herbal teas.
These are generally delicious at all temperatures so we recommend trying each of these two main ways to make herbal, floral, and fruit infused teas:
Making Hot Infused Tea:
- Select your preferred tea leaves or bags.
- Make sure your instant boiling Billi tap is set to the perfect temperature and dispense water directly over the tea.
- Allow to steep according to the type of tea
- Enjoy as is or add sweeteners and milk as desired.
- Optionally leave to cool to your desired temperature and refrigerate for later enjoyment.
Creating Cold Infused Tea:
- Choose your tea type or mix – fruit teas can bring a natural sweetness to complex herbal flavours.
- Fill a pitcher with cold water from your Billi system.
- Add tea bags or loose-leaf tea in an infuser.
- Refrigerate overnight for a delicately flavoured beverage the next day.
- Serve over ice and perhaps a slice of lemon for that extra zest.
Important Note: Different teas will have different fridge lives but generally a good recommendation is to consume infused tea that has been properly stored in the fridge within a few days.

Why Choose Billi for Hot and Cold Tea Infusing?
Designed and manufactured in Melbourne, Billi’s systems epitomise cutting-edge design and functionality. With systems offering combinations of instantly filtered chilled, boiling, ambient, and sparkling water you can have ready access to great-tasting water at the perfect temperature.
This is essential for infusing the perfect cup of tea, where the quality of water is just as crucial as the quality of the tea leaves. Here are three reasons you should choose Billi for your tea needs:
- Optimal Temperature Control:
- Hot tea lovers can savour the robust flavours extracted at ideal temperatures provided by the instant boiling water and adjustable heat range.
- Users who drink cold-infused tea will love our instant chilled options, bringing a crisp and refreshing taste perfect for a cold-infused tea.
- Premium Water Filtration:
- Billi’s filtration technology ensures that every cup of tea is free from impurities and unwanted tastes. The activated carbon filtration of our 0.2 Micron filters efficiently removes chlorine and other nasties, maintaining the natural flavour of your tea.

Benefits Of Chilled Water Dispenser Under Sink Systems
There are many benefits to having a chilled water dispenser installed under your sink at home. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that you can drink pure, filtered water directly from your mains supply.
This is much healthier than drinking water from plastic bottles – it’s also more cost-effective, much better for the planet and you don’t need to have bottles of water chilling your fridge and taking up space. With chilled filtered water dispensers, you have convenient and efficient access to cold, refreshing water without having to go through the trouble of filling up a pitcher or cooler.
Being under-sink systems, they don’t clutter your benchtop and because our chilled water dispensers have one of the smallest footprints on the market they don’t take up lots of valuable cupboard space either.

Hearty Winter Recipes to Warm Your Home
Billi’s boiling systems are not only useful for making tea, but they’re also helpful in creating easy winter warmer recipes that save time and taste great. Here are some quick winter dishes we’re trying as the weather cools:
Chunky Vegetable Soup
Use instant boiling water to quickly prepare a robust base using tomato paste and your favourite stock powder. Add seasonal and earthy vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and turnips, letting the natural flavours meld together into a comforting soup. Once cooked through and seasoned to your liking, optionally serve over mashed potatoes to bulk out this easy winter meal for the family.
Beef and Barley Stew
This stew is a winter classic. With Billi’s boiling water systems, you can kick start the cooking process, allowing the beef, barley, and veggies to simmer to perfection in less time. Simply prep your ingredients and cook off your beef ahead of time, reheating safely and adding to your veg, barley, and soup base for winter warmer food that comes together in minutes of active time.
Creamy Pumpkin Pasta
Cook the pasta in half the time as you don’t have to wait for the pot to heat with boiling water from your Billi tap, then drain and toss it in your pre-made sauce of choice, or use the pasta water to throw a rich pumpkin sauce together by blending roasted pumpkin chunks, spices and warm butter for a creamy, dreamy winter meal.

Drinking the right amount of water can boost your mood, productivity and health. We all agree hydration is important, but its plain taste often leads us to seek out more exciting options, and bottled flavoured or sparkling options are costly and bad for the environment. Billi’s home carbonated water machines offer a sophisticated solution that delivers the luxury of sparkling water right from your tap, eliminating waste and expense.
For over 30 years, Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry, integrating innovative technology with high design standards to deliver exceptional products. Manufactured in Melbourne, Australia, Billi’s systems embody dedication to quality and sustainability. Our compact designs, which do not require cupboard ventilation cut-outs, and our advanced energy-saving technologies underscore our commitment to eco-friendly solutions. Models like the B5000 Sparkling and Billi Home BCS provide the ultimate in modern hydration technology.
What Are Home Sparkling Water Systems?
Sparkling water taps for homes are often referred to as carbonated or soda machines interchangeably, we prefer to use ‘Sparkling Water’ as soda water generally contains potassium bicarbonate and potassium sulphate in addition to the carbon dioxide added for bubbles, and carbonated water is an all-encompassing term for any water with carbonation.
Whatever you want to call them, home carbonated water machines provide a convenient and environmentally friendly way to enjoy sparkling water at home. These systems allow you to carbonate your tap water, giving you the ability to enjoy refreshing sparkling water without the need for single-use plastic bottles.

Why You Need a Kitchen Tap with Sparkling Water

When choosing a kitchen tap with sparkling water, the following factors can determine whether the system is right for your home:

For offices and other commercial spaces, our boiling, chilled and sparkling water taps provide customers, clients and employees with instant access to filtered water at their desired temperature and effervescence, all without needing extra appliances or keeping a fridge full. This can save businesses time and money as staff spend less time purchasing or making beverages and it has the added benefit of Billi’s taps looking great while being more energy-efficient than the appliances you’d otherwise need for all these options.
Similarly, instant sparkling water at home is the perfect choice for those who like to entertain with cocktails and other drinks being faster and easier to make than ever. Or on those quiet summer nights at home, sitting back with a refreshing glass of sparkling water can be a delicious and healthy alternative to alcohol or sugary drinks – it’s just a great addition to our Aussie lifestyle.
Our innovative sparkling water taps include the following features:
- Premium filters that remove contaminants from your water providing you with high-quality sparkling drinking water
- Ice Bank technology provides a greater level of CO2 saturation resulting in sparkling water that tastes fresher and better
- Adjustable sparkling levels (up to 5 bar of CO2 pressure) so you can adjust your sparkling water to just the right amount of fizz for your liking
- Adjustable chilled water temperature so your water is perfectly chilled to your desired temperature
- Heat exchange and energy reclaim technologies that make your system energy efficient
