Keep AquaCure and it's generated HydrOxy away from open flames or
any item(s) that generate static electrical sparks.
(Except when properly and appropriately igniting torch).
The HydrOxy mixture is easily ignited when it is 'pure' but becomes
non-combustible when mixed with enough air.
As long as the percentage of hydrogen in the air is less than 4%, the mixture is NON-
combustible.
AquaCure Assembly Instructions
Items you will need:
- Philips screwdriver
- 1 quart (or 1 liter) wide mouth glass container (mason jar or large measuring cup).
It's OK to mix in smaller batches if you only have a smaller container.
- Stainless steel table knife (or equivalent for stirring)
- 1 ounce (or 30 gram) measuring spoon
- About 4 ounces (112 grams) of lye (the exact amount isn't critical)
- Rubber dishwashing gloves
- Safety glasses or goggles
- 1 gallon (4 liters) of distilled water (we recommend buying a home distiller, to make
your own distilled water).
Mix Electrolyte Solution
Put on rubber gloves and safety glasses.
Place the glass mixing container in a well-ventilated area (I
prefer outdoors) and on a surface that won't be damaged by
lye spills (a stainless steel sink, plastic tray or plastic
tablecloth are examples). Don't use a plastic jar for
mixing; the heat might melt it.
Fill your glass container with about 3 cups (750ml) of
distilled water and slowly pour 4 to 5 ounces (about 100
grams or 8 to 9 tablespoons) of Lye into the distilled water,
while stirring the water* with a metallic stirring item**.
You stir so that the lye doesn't fall to the bottom and stick
there like concrete. If this happens, stir until it dissolves.

Summary of Contents for AquaCure AC50
- Page 1 Keep AquaCure and it’s generated HydrOxy away from open flames or any item(s) that generate static electrical sparks. (Except when properly and appropriately igniting torch). The HydrOxy mixture is easily ignited when it is ‘pure’ but becomes non-combustible when mixed with enough air.
- Page 2 Don’t use the 1 liter Drinking Water Bubbler that came with your AquaCure to mix your lye solution, because you don’t want to contaminate it and heat could cause it to melt.
- Page 3 Filling the Electrolyzer with electrolyte solution While the AquaCure AC50 as a whole is often called an electrolyzer or a Water Gas Generator; technically the ACTUAL electrolyzer (that splits the water into HydrOxy) is a plastic block located in a stainless steel tank inside the machine.
- Page 4 What to do in case of an accidental overfill An alarm will sound and the red light will light up. Your AquaCure will not produce gas if it is overfilled. This is a SAFETY FEATURE unique to the AquaCure (prevents lye from being ejected).
- Page 5 After the first fill (of catalyst solution) poured directly into the fill stem (not through the Tower Cap), you will only fill the AquaCure with pure water using the syringe through the check valve mounted on the top of the Tower Cap. Do Not ever plug or cap this check valve or it won’t be able to mitigate the electrolyzer vacuum.
- Page 6 Note: The electrolyte (lye) solution is a catalyst and stays in the machine. You do NOT add more lye or replace the lye unless you’ve somehow lost your lye or it’s gotten contaminated. After the initial fill, add ONLY pure distilled water to the AquaCure through the Tower Cap, using the supplied syringe.
- Page 7 Change out the Humidifier water about every 10 hours of use at 100% operation. The AquaCure has about 10 hours of run time between full and low (assuming 100% gas production) so change the Humidifier water when the AquaCure needs water...
- Page 8 HydrOxy. The Humidifier water needs to be refreshed regularly so that it retains it’s ‘absorption capability’. So, because the humidifier water has the ‘trapped lye’ it’s the perfect water to refill the AquaCure water so I recommend using the Humidifier water to refill the AquaCure.
- Page 9 To turn on continuous mode, press and hold the top timing button for 5 seconds. This continuous setting bypasses the timer function and the AquaCure AC50 will stay ON (producing gas) until you shut it off manually (timer off button) or until it runs low on water and the alarm sounds (after about 10 hours if water level starts at the recommended 80% and the AquaCure is producing gas at 100%).

Questions and answers
The water gauge has lye debris which hasn't come completely removed after cleaning, is there something l can do to clear the debris?
To remove lye debris from the water gauge of an AquaCure AC50, let the sludge settle to the bottom, then extract the clarified lye solution using a hose on a syringe or filter it through a coffee filter. Refill the machine with up to 1.25 liters of the filtered solution, ensuring not to overfill. Check the fluid meniscus instead of relying on the floating ball, which may not always function correctly.

Where do I find the info re what setting to use per Lb of persons weight of for Aquacure
Why are the filter in the water bottle clogging after 7 days. The second one clogged in two days
The AquaCure AC50 water bottle filter may be clogging after 7 days and the second one after 2 days due to sludge and impurities in the electrolyte solution. Over time, the electrolyte collects contaminants and forms sludge, which can block filters. If the sludge is not properly settled or filtered out before reusing the solution, it can quickly clog new filters.

@Mr. Anderson This is a brand new machine Doing this.
@Mr. Anderson What can I clean these filters with
@Mr. Anderson This machine is a week old with about nine hours. It clogs filters in the bubble bottle. What can I do to prevent this and how do I clean the filters (stone filters)
