The Cirkul Plus complete system elevates the standard Cirkul experience by introducing portable carbonation. While the regular Cirkul system offers a wide range of flavor cartridges to infuse plain water, the Plus system adds a new dimension with bubbles. This combination allows users to create personalized sparkling beverages anytime, anywhere, with precise control over both flavor intensity and fizz level.
What’s in the Cirkul Plus Complete System?
When you purchase a Cirkul Plus complete system, you receive everything you need to start enjoying bubbly beverages immediately. The kit is designed to be a comprehensive, all-in-one solution for flavored sparkling water. The typical package includes several core components:
- Cirkul Plus Bottle and Lid: A specialized bottle designed to withstand the pressure of carbonation. It features a unique lid with a built-in carbonation button for on-demand fizz.
- Bubble Hub: A countertop charging station that uses a CO2 cylinder to pressurize the Cirkul Plus bottle.
- CO2 Cylinder: The source of the carbonation, which connects to the Bubble Hub. A single cylinder can carbonate up to 180 bottles of water.
- Fizzy Favorites Cartridges: A selection of eight exclusive flavor cartridges designed specifically to complement the sparkling water experience.
How does the Cirkul Plus complete system work?
The Cirkul Plus system uses a two-part process to create a customized fizzy drink. The Bubble Hub first charges the bottle, then the lid adds the carbonation and flavor at the point of use. Here is a step-by-step breakdown:
- Charge the Bottle: Place the specialized Cirkul Plus bottle onto the Bubble Hub. Press down to create a seal and then push the lever to transfer CO2 from the cylinder into the bottle's base.
- Add Water and Flavor: After charging, fill the bottle with cold water. Attach a flavor cartridge (Sip) and screw on the lid.
- Adjust and Fizz: Twist the flavor dial on the lid to your preferred intensity. To add bubbles to your water and flavor, slide the lid's lever to the right into 'charge mode' and press the carbonation button.
- Drink on the Go: The bottle can be recharged with bubbles on the go using the carbonation button throughout the day. The Bubble Hub provides the initial full charge, and the bottle's built-in button allows for re-bubbling as you sip.

Can you use Cirkul Plus with any flavor?
Yes, the Cirkul Plus system is compatible with all the standard Cirkul Sip cartridges, including the new Fizzy Favorites. This means you can add bubbles to over 100 different flavor options, from vitamin-enhanced FitSips to caffeinated GoSips. The customization is extensive, allowing you to create a unique sparkling beverage for any mood.
Portability and convenience
One of the main advantages of the Cirkul Plus system is its portability. While the Bubble Hub is a countertop station, the Cirkul Plus bottle itself is a self-contained, re-bubbling unit. Once the bottle is charged, you can add carbonation on the go for multiple refills, making it ideal for the office, gym, or a day out. This level of convenience sets it apart from traditional home soda makers that require you to be near the machine to carbonate your drink.
Making the switch from soda
For many, the Cirkul Plus provides a compelling alternative to sugary sodas. By offering soda-like flavors with customizable fizz and zero calories or artificial colors, it helps break the habit of drinking high-sugar beverages. Reddit user reviews praise the soda flavors, noting that while they may not be an exact replica, they are close enough to satisfy cravings and help transition to a healthier hydration routine. The ability to control flavor intensity further helps manage the transition.
Cleaning and maintenance
Proper cleaning is essential for the Cirkul Plus system to maintain optimal performance. The Cirkul Plus bottle and lid should be hand-washed only and are not dishwasher safe. The Bubble Hub is a cordless device that requires minimal maintenance, while the CO2 cylinder is part of a convenient refill club program. This program allows users to easily swap out empty cylinders for full ones, ensuring a continuous supply of bubbles.
Conclusion
The Cirkul Plus complete system is a sophisticated and highly customizable hydration solution that combines flavorful cartridges with portable carbonation. While it comes with a higher initial price point than a standard Cirkul bottle, the ability to create sparkling, flavored beverages on demand offers significant value for those looking to replace sugary sodas or simply enjoy a fun, customizable drink. Its compatibility with the vast range of Cirkul Sips makes it a versatile addition to any hydration routine. For those seeking convenience, customization, and a bubbly twist, the Cirkul Plus complete system delivers on all fronts.
