Cell technology

PEM electrolysis of pure water

Hydrogen storage

None — only the volume held in the filters

By-product

O₂, vented

Pressure

Outlet pressure

Set on the keypad

Over-pressure cut-outAbove 90 PSI generation stops and the pressure over alarm is raised.

90 PSI

Feed water

Water quality

Deionised, < 0.5 µS/cm (> 2 MΩ·cm)

ElectrolyteAdding alkali destroys the membrane and voids the warranty.

None — never add KOH or NaOH

Tank level sensing

3 levels — low, medium, full

Water change
