Thanks to Community Member Doctor.P for finding this deal.
The terra was designed solely with the intention to block owners from using external CO2 adapters. They implemented a proprietary valve that serves this purpose that's inferior to the standard valve used for decades worldwide. A large external tank with an adapter line saves you $$$ and trips to return bottles.
Just want to provide my frugal tips for the sodastream. I drink almost exclusively carbonated water and like it extra bubbly. As such, even refilled co2 canisters would be very expensive. Furthermore, the flavorings are ridiculously priced for what they are (ultra concentrated flavor oil plus a ton of water).
So, tip 1. You can buy adapters to fill the sodastream canisters from a larger tank. Buying even refilled canisters you're still paying a roughly 93% markup. I spent $150 on a 20-lb CO2 tank, the adapter and first fill (subsequent fills are about $20 at my local shop) and a full tank will fill about 20 sodastream canisters. I've filled at least 30 canisters this way which would have cost $450 to buy refilled sodastream canisters. If your space permits, you could actually run a hose directly from a larger tank to the soda stream which you can buy a different adapter for.
Tip 2. As I mentioned, the flavorings are way overpriced. You can buy the industry standard flavoring oil (LorAnn) for about $1/dram and each dram will flavor about 30L in my experience (LorAnn sells dropper lids and 3 drops/L is a good starting point). I've found doing it this way is not only much easier, but you can measure more easily and you get over 100 flavor options and essentially limitless combinations (black cherry rootbeer is the bomb).

I bought this to change the valve that lets you use an external adapter to refill with your own tank. Slightly pricey but it pays off itself

Curious. what can they do if I don't return the canisters? Charge my credit card? send to collectors?
They will charge your credit card $15 per cylinder if you don't return in 90 days (was previously 60 days). If you click on terms and fine print it says that " Your cylinders are due back no later than 60 days after the order is placed, free of charge. order, free of charge. SodaStream must receive the used SodaStream Cylinders no later than sixty (60)days after the order is placed.
Should you fail to return the used SodaStream Cylinders within such sixty (60)days, SodaStream will charge your credit card $15.00 USD plus tax for each used Cylinder not returned."

Any way to mitigate this? I read this without reading the fine print and I think they will try to charge me $45.
Can I block the merchant?

I go into the stores to swap. No idea the cost for online.
