General Questions

Basic questions about hydrogen generators and the PureONE.

Daily Hydrogen's PureONE system features industrial-grade components, comprehensive safety features, and rigorous quality control. Our generators use medical-grade tubing and cannulas, and advanced safety systems including pressure relief. We provide extensive documentation, responsive customer support, and a comprehensive warranty. The PureONE is designed for reliability, safety, and ease of use, backed by Daily Hydrogen's commitment to customer satisfaction and ongoing support.

When used as directed, hydrogen gas is generally considered safe as it's naturally present in the body. The PureONE system from Daily Hydrogen includes multiple safety features to ensure safe operation. However, users must follow all safety guidelines, particularly regarding lye handling and proper ventilation. Hydrogen is flammable, so proper precautions are essential. Consult with healthcare providers before beginning any new therapy. Daily Hydrogen provides comprehensive safety instructions and support to ensure users can operate their PureONE systems safely.
While Daily Hydrogen makes no medical claims, scientific research suggests hydrogen therapy may support overall wellness. Users report various personal experiences with hydrogen inhalation and hydrogen-enriched water. The PureONE system provides a reliable method for producing hydroxy gas (a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen) for personal use. We recommend researching published studies and consulting with healthcare providers about potential benefits. Daily Hydrogen focuses on providing quality equipment for those who choose to explore hydrogen therapy as part of their wellness routine.

A hydrogen generator, like the PureONE, is a device that produces hydroxy gas (a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen) through a process called electrolysis. The device splits water molecules (H₂O) into hydrogen and oxygen gases using electricity and an electrolyte (sodium hydroxide).

The PureONE specifically produces a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen — known as HydrOxy or Brown's gas. This gas can be inhaled directly through a nasal cannula, applied externally through the skin, or bubbled into drinking water to create hydrogen-rich water.

About saturation levels:

  • 1.6 ppm is the accepted saturation point for pure hydrogen dissolved in water at room temperature.
  • Because the PureONE produces Brown's gas (66% hydrogen), the practical maximum saturation at room temperature is about 1.2 ppm.

Daily Hydrogen's PureONE represents the latest technology in hydrogen generation, providing safe and effective hydrogen production for home use.

Unlike water filters that remove contaminants, hydrogen generators add molecular hydrogen to water without filtering. The PureONE actively produces hydrogen gas through electrolysis and infuses it into water, while filters only remove particles and chemicals. You can use both - filter your water first, then enhance it with hydrogen. The hydrogen generator doesn't replace the need for clean water; it enhances already pure water with dissolved hydrogen gas. Daily Hydrogen recommends using the PureONE with high-quality filtered or distilled water for optimal results.
No, hydrogen water and alkaline water are completely different. Hydrogen water contains dissolved molecular hydrogen gas (H2) but maintains a neutral pH. Alkaline water has a high pH but doesn't necessarily contain molecular hydrogen. The PureONE produces hydrogen-enriched water without significantly changing the pH. In fact, you should never use alkaline water in the PureONE as it can damage the unit and produce harmful compounds. Daily Hydrogen's PureONE focuses specifically on hydrogen production, not pH modification.

Health & Wellness

Health-related questions (informational only).

Safety is paramount when considering hydrogen therapy for children. Daily Hydrogen strongly recommends parental supervision and healthcare provider consultation before use with minors. If approved by healthcare providers, use lower flow rates and shorter sessions for children. Ensure children cannot access the generator, electrolyte, or safety equipment unsupervised. Explain safety rules appropriately for their age. Never allow children to operate the PureONE system independently. Keep all chemicals and equipment secured. Some parents choose to only provide hydrogen-enriched water rather than direct inhalation.
Daily Hydrogen recommends consulting healthcare providers before starting hydrogen therapy, especially with pre-existing conditions. While hydrogen is generally considered safe, individual responses vary. Discuss with your doctor if you have respiratory conditions, are pregnant or nursing, take medications, or have chronic health issues. Provide your healthcare provider with information about hydrogen therapy research. Daily Hydrogen makes no medical claims and provides equipment for those who choose to use hydrogen therapy as part of their wellness routine.
Session duration varies by individual and application. Daily Hydrogen suggests starting with 30-minute sessions and adjusting based on personal experience. Many users find 30-60 minutes optimal for breathing therapy. Some prefer multiple shorter sessions throughout the day. For water treatment, bubble for 5-10 minutes per liter. There's no known toxicity from longer sessions, but benefits may plateau. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly. Keep a journal to track your optimal session times with your PureONE system.
Hydrogen-enriched water contains dissolved molecular hydrogen gas, while regular water has virtually none. The PureONE system from Daily Hydrogen bubbles hydroxy (a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen) through water, allowing it to dissolve. This doesn't change the water's pH or mineral content, only adds dissolved hydrogen. The hydrogen gradually escapes if left open, so consume promptly. Some users report a slightly different taste. Research suggests dissolved hydrogen may act as a selective antioxidant. Daily Hydrogen provides equipment for those interested in exploring hydrogen-enriched water.
While the PureONE is sold for experimental and research purposes and not FDA-approved for medical treatment, users report various experiences. Scientific research on molecular hydrogen is ongoing in areas including oxidative stress, cellular health, and energy metabolism. We make no medical claims, and users should consult healthcare providers for health advice. Individual results vary, and the PureONE should be considered an experimental device. Daily Hydrogen emphasizes that the PureONE is for research and experimental use only.
Yes, you can use hydrogen-enhanced water for cooking, though heating will cause the hydrogen to escape more quickly. Some users report using it for making tea, coffee, soups, and cooking rice or vegetables. The hydrogen won't survive boiling, but some users prefer it for the perceived water quality. This is a matter of personal preference rather than proven benefit. Daily Hydrogen users have reported various creative uses for hydrogen-enhanced water.
Many users provide hydrogen water to their pets, reporting improved energy and coat condition. Use the same safety guidelines as for humans - bubble water for 10-30 minutes and provide alongside regular water. For direct inhalation, use very low flow rates (2-4 lph) with extreme caution. Always consult your veterinarian before making changes to your pet's care routine. Daily Hydrogen users often extend the benefits to their pets with proper precautions.
Users report excellent results using hydrogen water for plants, including enhanced germination, stronger root development, improved growth rates, and better disease resistance. Bubble water for 20-30 minutes and use immediately. Some users bubble water directly in their aquariums for 10-15 minutes daily, reporting clearer water and healthier fish. These applications are observational and results may vary. Daily Hydrogen users have discovered many creative applications beyond human use.

Machine Maintenance

Questions about maintaining your hydrogen generator.

The PureONE will produce hydroxy with as little as 30–35 grams of lye in solution. Each pouch of lye is 65 grams and the lye solution is replaced annually, so it is very unlikely that any issues with the lye concentration will arise with normal use and maintenance.

An indication of low lye concentration is if the machine only produces bubbles at higher percentages while producing nothing at lower percentages. This is also an indication of gas leaks, which should be checked first.

Daily Hydrogen doesn't recommend using any cleaner or detergent with the PureONE or its accessories, except for the bubbling stone and bottles. Use hot tap water during the maintenance rinses to dissolve any lye crystallization. Any waste material will be removed by the water as well.

Clean up any lye spills or drips immediately — a spray bottle of vinegar can be kept nearby to neutralize any lye spills. If spraying vinegar onto the PureONE, always ensure that the opening on top is covered.

Use isopropyl alcohol for wiping the exterior. Use soap for cleaning your bottles and lids; rinse very well.

If the bubbling stone becomes clogged (most likely in the drinking water container), soak the stone in vinegar to dissolve calcium deposits, or soak it in CLR to dissolve other mineral buildup. Always thoroughly rinse the bubbling stone after soaking it in either vinegar or CLR. Always soak the bubbling stone in a separate container.

Daily: Check water levels in the viewing window and the bottles, and observe normal operation. Top up the PureONE with distilled water as needed.

Weekly: Wipe the machine with a damp cloth to remove dust — this helps prevent contamination when topping up your PureONE. Check hoses for kinks. If necessary, clear excess dust off the fan (in the back) with compressed air.

Every 6 months: Perform a maintenance rinse on your PureONE to dissolve any lye crystallization and remove waste material buildup.

Annually: Perform a maintenance rinse, replace the lye solution, and rinse out the purifier bottles (blue bottles) and refill them with distilled water.

Consistent maintenance prevents major repairs and extends the system life.

Static electricity poses a moderate risk with the PureONE. Static buildup can cause ignition of the gas through the tubing.

If you are experiencing static, simply touch the machine — it is grounded through the ground in the power cord.

If you can't feel gas coming from the cannula, check these common issues:

  • Clear kinked hose — straighten any bends or kinks in the tubing between the PureONE and the cannula.
  • Verify timer settings — make sure the timer is on and the PureONE is actively producing gas.
  • Check lid seals and hose connections — any gas leak upstream of the cannula will reduce or eliminate flow. Verify all bottle lids are tight and every hose is securely connected.

To confirm flow, place the cannula tips under water — you should see a continuous stream of small bubbles. If the test fails, work backwards through the system checking each connection.

Contact Daily Hydrogen support if the issue persists after these checks.

Electrolyte color changes can indicate system condition.

Normal Colors:

  • Clear to Light Yellow: Fresh solution, optimal condition
  • Green: Normal — same family as clear and yellow, less common but still safe

Concerning Colors:

  • Brown and Cloudy: Normal when solution is poured out during maintenance — this is accumulated byproduct buildup
  • Milky White: Possible water contamination

What Causes Color Changes:

  • Water quality issues
  • Contamination from foreign substances

When to Take Action:

  • Document any color changes
  • Contact Daily Hydrogen for unusual colors
  • Never continue operation with contaminated solution

Daily Hydrogen support can help interpret electrolyte condition and recommend appropriate action.

Machine Operation

Questions about day-to-day operation procedures.

Never move your PureONE generator during operation. Daily Hydrogen's safety protocol: always shut down completely before moving, secure or remove loose components, and keep unit level during transport.

Moving while operating can cause electrolyte solution to slosh into the gas output, forcing it through the tubing and into your purifier bottle.

For transportation by car or plane, drain the electrolyte solution and rinse out your PureONE first, then pack carefully for transport.

For minor position adjustments: shut down, move carefully, and check all connections before restarting. Safety always takes priority over convenience.

Yes. Simply press the largest button on the timer panel for 5–8 seconds to initiate continuous gas production. The gas production will shut off and an alarm will sound if the water level gets too low.

Production rate adjustment on the PureONE allows for customization.

Locate the small digital display (top left of the front panel on your PureONE). On the right side is an up and down arrow with the "duty %" written between. Press the up arrow to increase gas production; press the down arrow to decrease gas production. Hold the button to move through the numbers more quickly.

For inhalation: set gas production to 1/5th of your body weight in lbs (example: 165 lbs ÷ 5 = 33% duty).

For external applications (applying to the outside of your body or bubbling water while NOT inhaling): setting the duty to 100% will ensure faster saturation.

Daily Hydrogen identifies these PureONE maintenance indicators: reduced gas production despite normal settings, discolored electrolyte (white and cloudy), unusual noises during operation, leaks at connections, and difficulty maintaining levels. Preventive maintenance is always better than reactive repairs. Keep a maintenance log to track patterns. Address issues promptly to prevent major problems. Regular maintenance extends equipment life and ensures safe operation.

Daily Hydrogen's recommended PureONE startup sequence ensures safe operation:

  1. Check electrolyte level and add distilled water if needed.
  2. Inspect all connections and tubing.
  3. Turn on the power switch.
  4. Observe bubbling in your purifier bottles or infusion bottle within a few seconds.
  5. Adjust to desired production level.

Document any unusual observations.

No, never use tap, well, or spring water in your PureONE. These water sources contain minerals that will:

  • Create harmful compounds during electrolysis
  • Damage the electrodes permanently
  • Produce toxic gases (chlorine, carbon monoxide)
  • Void your warranty immediately
  • Create safety hazards

The Requirement:

  • Use only distilled water that reads at < 0.5 ppm on a TDS meter.
  • Standard grocery-store distilled water generally meets this threshold — verify with a TDS meter if you have one.

Why Water Purity is Critical:

  • Ensures safe gas production
  • Protects the electrodes
  • Maintains warranty coverage
  • Prevents toxic gas formation

Daily Hydrogen cannot emphasize this enough: only use distilled water measuring < 0.5 ppm for safety and optimal performance.

Yes — any water can be used in the drinking water bubblers (infusion bottles). High pH well water is fine for bubbling your drinking water.

Important caveat: hydrogen makes the taste of contaminants in the water more pronounced. Depending on your palate, filtered water may be preferable for daily drinking. If the water tastes noticeably different after hydrogen infusion, try filtering it first.

Key distinction: this guidance is for the drinking water you bubble with hydrogen — not for the water that goes inside the PureONE itself. The machine always requires distilled water measuring < 0.5 ppm; no exceptions.

Daily Hydrogen recommends experimenting with different water sources for your drinking water to find the taste you prefer.

Yes, you can purchase lye independently. It must be at least 99% pure sodium hydroxide (NaOH) — a high purity is best. Avoid drain cleaners and any product with additives, anti-caking agents, or unknown purity.

Daily Hydrogen can provide supplier recommendations for pure lye sources.

The blue light absence could indicate several things: Most Common Cause - LED Burned Out:
  • Machine still operates normally
  • LED is purely cosmetic indicator
  • Can be replaced if desired
  • Does not affect gas production
Other Possible Causes:
  • Power supply issue (check if machine produces gas)
  • Wiring disconnection (requires service)
  • Timer or electrical issue
What to Check:
  • Verify machine is producing gas normally
  • Check for bubbles in humidifier
  • Confirm gas flows from cannula
  • If gas production is normal, only LED issue
When to Be Concerned:
  • No gas production AND no blue light
  • Other electrical issues present
  • Machine not functioning normally
The blue light is purely visual and doesn't affect operation. Contact Daily Hydrogen if gas production is also affected.

The PureONE has a sight window that looks into the float reservoir with a purple indicator light inside. This light turns red when water needs to be added.

If you don’t see the purple light:

Most Common Cause – LED May Need Attention:

  • The machine may still operate normally even without the indicator light
  • The LED is primarily a visual indicator for water level
  • Does not affect gas production

Other Possible Causes:

  • Power supply issue (check if machine produces gas)
  • Wiring disconnection (may require service)
  • Timer or electrical issue

What to Check:

  • Verify machine is producing gas normally
  • Check for bubbles in the purifier bottles
  • Confirm gas flows from cannula
  • If gas production is normal, it may only be an LED issue

Important: When the light turns red, it indicates you should add distilled water. You can add 300 mL of distilled water to top up your PureONE when the red light appears.

Contact Daily Hydrogen if gas production is also affected.

Reduced gas production can have several causes:

Most Common — Low Lye Concentration:
Low lye concentration is indicated when you only get bubbling at higher duty% (more voltage is required to produce gas). If this is the case:

  • Add 2 tablespoons of lye powder
  • Mix with a small amount of distilled water first
  • Allow 10 minutes for distribution

Other Causes to Check:

  • Incorrect timer setting (verify proper setting)
  • Voltage issues (ensure proper voltage: 110V or 220V)
  • Electrode wear (rare, after years of use)
  • Measurement error (remember: full output only at 100% setting)

Systematic Troubleshooting:

  1. Check lye concentration first — look for bubbling behavior at different duty% levels
  2. Verify timer and power settings
  3. Test with multimeter if needed
  4. Contact support if unresolved

Daily Hydrogen support can help diagnose performance issues and recommend solutions.

Understanding hydrogen concentration in water:

Saturation Explained:
1.6 ppm is the accepted saturation level for pure hydrogen dissolved in water at room temperature. However, the PureONE produces HydrOxy / Brown’s gas, which is approximately 66% hydrogen (the rest is oxygen).

Because the partial pressure of hydrogen in our gas is 66%, the maximum saturation you can achieve in water at room temperature is about 1.2 ppm of dissolved hydrogen. This is the practical ceiling for the PureONE.

Bubbling Time for Optimal Concentration:
It takes 20 minutes of bubbling at 100% duty to reach saturation for 1 liter of water (the volume of our infusion bottle).

Inhalation vs. Water Consumption:

  • Inhalation delivers hydrogen directly to your system
  • Blood saturation is achieved within 15-30 minutes of inhalation
  • Once saturation is reached, additional hydrogen is simply exhaled

Important Note:
Higher isn’t necessarily better — once water reaches saturation, additional hydrogen simply escapes. The PureONE is designed to achieve optimal therapeutic levels efficiently.

Daily Hydrogen’s PureONE achieves effective hydrogen concentrations for both water infusion and inhalation therapy.

Machine Support

Technical support questions about machine operation.

Lye acts as a current (amperage) path for electrolysis. Water is dielectric (doesn't conduct electricity), but electrolysis requires electricity to travel from one electrode to the other. The lye serves as an electrolyte that "completes" the circuit in the electrolyser, facilitating the reaction without being consumed in the process. After extensive testing of thousands of potential electrolyte solutions, lye was identified as the most practical balance of all factors - low cost, readily available, minimally caustic yet highly efficient, clean, and long-lasting. Important: Only use pure lye (NaOH) and pure water in your PureONE. Never use KOH (extremely caustic), sodium bicarbonate (produces sludge and carbon monoxide), or sodium chloride (creates chlorine gas). Daily Hydrogen recommends only the specified pure sodium hydroxide for safety and optimal performance.
A lean electrolyte mixture is recommended for optimal performance and safety. The goal is to use the minimum amount of lye necessary to produce gas efficiently. Using excessive lye can lead to several issues:
  • Crystallization, which may clog small internal passages
  • Increased foaming, leading to unwanted lye carryover
  • Corrosion risks and maintenance challenges
  • Safety hazards from overly caustic solutions
By maintaining a lean mixture, the system remains stable, clean, and safe, while still delivering sufficient gas for typical applications. Daily Hydrogen specifications ensure optimal balance between safety and performance.
Gas production is limited for inhalation safety. While the PureONE can produce high volumes, appropriate settings for therapeutic inhalation are critical to avoid serious risk. Safety Considerations:
  • Inhalation of 100% gas output is extremely dangerous
  • Any air mixture containing more than 4% hydrogen is explosive
  • Most clinical studies use 2% hydrogen in air for beneficial effects
  • For average adults, more than 18 lph may exceed the 4% safety limit
Why More Isn't Better:
  • Once blood is saturated with hydrogen, additional hydrogen is simply exhaled
  • Higher concentrations don't improve benefits
  • Safety must always be the priority
Daily Hydrogen emphasizes that safety limits are absolute and must never be exceeded.
Lye (sodium hydroxide, NaOH, caustic soda) can be purchased from several sources: Recommended Sources:
  • Chemical supply companies
  • Soap-making suppliers
  • Online retailers (Amazon, eBay)
  • Some hardware stores (special order)
  • Daily Hydrogen (for convenience)
Requirements:
  • Must be 99% pure sodium hydroxide
  • No additives or anti-caking agents
  • Food-grade or laboratory-grade preferred
  • Avoid drain cleaner lye with additives
You can purchase lye independently at lower cost than retail, but ensure 99% purity. Daily Hydrogen can provide recommendations for reliable suppliers.

We recommend that the lye solution be changed once per year.

Why Annual Replacement:
Distilled water isn’t perfectly pure, so every addition of distilled water to top up your PureONE adds more trace impurities to the lye solution. Over time, these impurities can accumulate.

If You Need to Add More Lye Within a Year:
It’s not too likely that you’ll need to add more lye within a year, but it might still happen. If gas production drops noticeably:

  • Add 2 tablespoons of lye powder
  • Mix the lye with a small amount of distilled water first
  • Add slowly to the machine while it’s off
  • Wait 10 minutes before restarting

Signs You May Need More Lye:

  • Low lye concentration is indicated when you only get bubbling at higher duty% (more voltage required to produce gas)
  • Gas production has dropped noticeably
  • No gas leaks or hose blockages present

If you notice reduced gas output, always check your purifier bottles and hose connections for leaks first before assuming it’s a lye issue.

Daily Hydrogen recommends keeping usage logs to track maintenance timing.

We recommend consuming hydrogen water within 12 hours for best results.

Why 12 Hours Maximum:
According to the Molecular Hydrogen Institute, it’s very difficult to fully prevent hydrogen from diffusing through containers. There is generally no measurable hydrogen remaining after 12 hours, even in sealed containers.

Recommended Containers for Infused Drinking Water:

  • Glass containers with tight seals — safe for storing hydrogen-infused drinking water
  • Food-grade plastic containers (BPA-free)
  • Stainless steel containers with tight seals

Storage Tips:

  • Fill containers completely to minimize air space
  • Seal tightly immediately after filling
  • Store in a cool, dark place — refrigeration helps retain hydrogen longer
  • Best practice: drink soon after production

Daily Hydrogen can recommend specific storage containers designed for hydrogen water.

Yes, standard distilled water from any grocery store is perfectly adequate for the PureONE — as long as it measures at < 0.5 ppm on a TDS meter.

Acceptable Water:

  • Distilled water reading < 0.5 ppm TDS (preferred)

Never Use:

  • Tap water (contains minerals and chemicals)
  • Well water (mineral content varies)
  • Spring water (contains natural minerals)
  • Alkaline water (can damage equipment)
  • Water with any additives or minerals

Why Water Purity Matters:

  • Pure water ensures safe gas production
  • Prevents toxic gas formation
  • Protects electrodes from damage
  • Maintains warranty coverage
  • Extends machine lifespan

Daily Hydrogen emphasizes that water purity directly affects safety and performance.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Questions about maintenance and problem solving.

Daily Hydrogen provides these replacement guidelines for PureONE parts:

  • Cannulas — monthly for hygiene
  • Tubing — annually or if discolored/damaged
  • O-rings/gaskets — annually or if leaking
  • Bubbler stones — annually or if clogged
  • Power cord — if any damage is visible
  • Fuses — immediately when blown
  • Electrolyte (lye) solution — annually

Keep spare consumables on hand. Document all replacements in your maintenance log. Using genuine Daily Hydrogen parts ensures safety and maintains warranty coverage.

No gas production usually has simple causes. Check these items: Ensure power is connected and turned on. Verify adequate electrolyte level and concentration. Check for clogged tubes or fittings. Inspect electrical connections for looseness or corrosion. Test outlet with another device. Verify circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Examine electrodes for heavy buildup requiring cleaning. Ensure proper grounding is connected. If electrolyte is old or contaminated, replace it. Daily Hydrogen support can provide additional troubleshooting if these steps don't resolve the issue with your PureONE system.

The most common cause is a gas leak. This can happen where the lids seal to the bottles, or where the hoses connect.

First, check for gas leaks:

  • Inspect each bottle lid seal — make sure the lid is properly tightened and the seal is seated correctly
  • Check every hose connection — loose fittings are a common culprit
  • Inspect the pressure release on the first purifier bottle — it shouldn’t be leaking
  • If one bottle is bubbling but the next isn’t, gas is escaping between them — check that lid’s seal and hose connection

If no leaks are found, also check:

  • Power is on and the timer is running
  • Water level is correct (not overfilled, not low)
  • Fuse is intact

If the issue persists after checking all of the above, contact Daily Hydrogen support.

Regular cleaning keeps your PureONE running reliably.

Weekly:

  • Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth (no harsh chemicals)
  • Check the purifier bottles and top up with distilled water as needed
  • Inspect hoses for kinks or wear

Annually (deep clean):

  • Drain the lye solution and perform the maintenance rinse procedure (see the support article for step-by-step instructions)
  • Refill with a fresh lye solution

Never use soap or detergents inside the unit — they contaminate the system and can cause issues with gas production.

Daily Hydrogen provides detailed cleaning instructions and recommends appropriate cleaning supplies.

It’s normal for the lye solution to change color over time. Here’s what different colors indicate:

Normal Colors (No Action Needed):

  • Clear: Normal — fresh solution
  • Yellow: Normal — no action needed
  • Green: Normal — same as yellow or clear, it’s safe

Colors That Need Attention:

  • Brown and cloudy: Indicates a buildup of byproduct. Your PureONE may be due for cleaning. This is also normal when solution is poured out during annual maintenance.
  • Milky white: Likely indicates soap contamination. The solution may need to be replaced and the system thoroughly cleaned.

What to Do:

  • If you see brown/cloudy: follow the maintenance rinse procedure and consider changing the lye solution
  • If you see milky white: drain the solution, thoroughly clean the system, and prepare a fresh electrolyte solution

Daily Hydrogen support can help interpret any unusual conditions in your PureONE.

With proper maintenance, the PureONE is designed to last 10+ years. Key factors affecting lifespan include using only distilled water, maintaining proper lye concentration (never exceeding 100 grams), regular cleaning and maintenance, proper storage when not in use, and avoiding physical damage. The electrodes are designed for thousands of hours of operation when used correctly. Daily Hydrogen designs the PureONE for long-term reliability with proper care and maintenance.

We recommend that the lye solution is replaced once per year.

Why annual replacement:
Distilled water isn’t perfectly pure, so trace contamination is added to the electrolyser every time distilled water is added to the machine. These trace impurities accumulate in the lye solution over time. Replacing the lye solution annually will ensure that your distilled water remains contaminant-free.

Signs the solution needs changing:

  • Brown or cloudy appearance
  • Decreased gas production that doesn’t respond to adding more lye
  • It’s been over a year since the last complete change

How to change the solution:

  1. Safely drain the old solution (follow proper lye handling procedures — see the Maintenance Rinse Procedure support article)
  2. Rinse the system with distilled water
  3. Prepare a fresh electrolyte solution following the setup instructions

Daily Hydrogen provides guidance on proper lye handling and solution preparation.

Safety Questions

Safety-related questions and concerns.

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH/lye) is highly caustic and requires extreme caution. It can cause severe chemical burns on contact with skin or eyes. Daily Hydrogen provides detailed safety instructions for handling. Always wear protective equipment, work in well-ventilated areas, and keep water readily available for emergency flushing. Never allow children or pets near lye. Store in sealed containers away from moisture. In case of contact, flush immediately with large amounts of water and seek medical attention. With proper precautions, lye can be handled safely.

Hydroxy gas at therapeutic concentrations is not toxic, and hydrogen is naturally produced in the human body. The hydroxy from your PureONE generator is flammable and requires reasonable ventilation. Never allow hydroxy gas to accumulate in enclosed spaces.

The gas is odorless and colorless. Daily Hydrogen's PureONE is engineered to prevent ambient gas mixtures from exceeding 4% hydrogen — well below the lower explosive limit. At recommended flow rates for therapy, the gas is diluted with ambient air to safe levels.

Immediate action is crucial for lye exposure. For skin contact: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Do not attempt to neutralize with acid. For eye contact: Flush continuously with water for at least 20 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek emergency medical attention immediately. Call Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) while flushing. Daily Hydrogen emphasizes prevention through proper safety equipment, but being prepared for emergencies is essential. Keep eyewash supplies and emergency numbers readily accessible.

Yes, hydrogen water produced by the PureONE is safe to drink when the device is used according to instructions.

About Hydrogen Concentration:
The PureONE produces approximately 1.2 ppm of hydrogen dissolved in water. This is the saturation level for Brown’s gas (which is 66% hydrogen by partial pressure) at room temperature.

Safety Information:

  • Hydrogen gas dissolved in water is non-toxic
  • Hydrogen naturally occurs in small amounts in regular water
  • The concentration achieved by the PureONE is well within safe limits

Important Note:
The PureONE is sold for experimental and research purposes. Users should consult healthcare providers for medical advice.

Daily Hydrogen provides comprehensive safety guidelines with every PureONE purchase.

Hydrogen gas is flammable and can be explosive if it reaches concentrations above 4% in air. However, the PureONE has multiple safety features to prevent this. When used properly for inhalation (maximum 18 lph for adults), the hydrogen concentration stays well below dangerous levels. Never exceed recommended flow rates, always ensure proper ventilation, keep away from flames and sparks, and properly ground the unit to prevent static electricity. Following these guidelines makes the PureONE safe for home use. Daily Hydrogen includes comprehensive safety training materials with every PureONE purchase.

Inhaling hydrogen gas through the PureONE is considered safe when you follow the safety guidelines.

Key safety points:

  • Keep flow rates at recommended levels (never exceed 18 lph for adults; 4-9 lph for children)
  • Always use nasal cannulas (never masks)
  • Ensure adequate airflow in the room

About hydrogen concentration:
The 2% in-lung hydrogen concentration achieved at these flow rates is well below the explosive limit and has been used safely by thousands of users. There is no strict time limit on inhalation sessions once the body has adjusted to hydrogen — use for as long as is comfortable.

Always consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new wellness routine.

Daily Hydrogen provides detailed safety protocols and training for all PureONE users.

Inhaling hydroxy gas through the PureONE is considered safe when following proper guidelines.

Duration:
It’s safe to inhale the gas for as long as you want. Some people inhale overnight while they sleep. We’ve even heard of people inhaling for 18 hours per day.

Important Consideration – Detox Symptoms:
Hydrogen can cause detox symptoms as the body adjusts to the presence of hydrogen. Some people may need to start with shorter sessions. Common adjustment symptoms may include:

  • Mild headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Other temporary sensations

Recommended Approach:

  1. Start with shorter sessions if you’re new to hydrogen therapy
  2. Gradually increase session length as your body adjusts
  3. Once you can inhale for 20-30 minutes with no issues, you should be able to inhale as long as you want

Always:

  • Use nasal cannulas (not masks)
  • Ensure proper ventilation in your space
  • Consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new wellness routine

Daily Hydrogen provides detailed safety protocols and training for all PureONE users.

The PureONE’s body is grounded through the ground wire in the power cord. No additional grounding is needed.

How it works:
The machine is automatically grounded when plugged into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The ground pin in the power plug provides the necessary grounding connection.

Static electricity:
If you have static buildup on your person, simply touching the metal body of the PureONE will safely discharge that static charge through the grounded connection.

Quick tips:

  • Always use a properly grounded electrical outlet
  • Touch the PureONE to discharge personal static before a session

Daily Hydrogen recommends using properly grounded outlets for safe operation.

There is no specific toxicity associated with inhaling hydrogen gas from the PureONE at normal usage levels.

What You Might Experience:

  • Throat/Lung Irritation: High concentrations may bother the throat and lungs for some people
  • Dizziness: This typically comes from how a person inhales, not necessarily how much or how long. If you’re focusing on very deep breaths (essentially hyperventilating), you may become dizzy – this would happen with plain air too.
  • Detox Symptoms: These can cause various sensations as your body adjusts to hydrogen. This is normal and temporary.

Recommendations:

  • If you experience any discomfort, reduce your treatment times
  • Continue with shorter sessions until you no longer experience detox symptoms
  • Once you can inhale for 20-30 minutes with no issue, you should be able to inhale as long as you want with no issue
  • Breathe normally – avoid hyperventilating or forcing deep breaths

Daily Hydrogen emphasizes the importance of listening to your body and adjusting accordingly.

Children can use hydrogen-enhanced water and inhalation therapy with proper supervision and reduced flow rates. For inhalation, children should use only 4-9 lph (compared to 18 lph for adults) with constant adult supervision. The general formula is 0.25 lph per kilogram of body weight. Always consult with your child's healthcare provider before use, and never leave children unattended with the device. Daily Hydrogen provides specific guidelines for safe use with children and emphasizes adult supervision.

Technical & Usage

Technical questions about operation and usage.

Yes, Daily Hydrogen's PureONE system versatility allows multiple uses. Common applications include: breathing therapy through cannulas, enriching drinking water via bubbler attachment, bath water enhancement, plant water treatment, and aquarium oxygenation. Each application may require different accessories or settings. Never use the same tubing for different applications without proper cleaning. Some users dedicate units to specific purposes. Consult Daily Hydrogen for application-specific guidance and appropriate accessories to maximize your PureONE investment.

Daily Hydrogen recommends changing the electrolyte solution annually as part of regular maintenance. See the Maintenance Rinse Procedure support article for the complete change procedure.

When changing, completely drain the old solution, rinse the tank with distilled water using the maintenance rinse procedure, and refill with fresh sodium hydroxide solution. Document change dates in your maintenance log.

Proper solution maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your PureONE system.

Only use distilled water for your PureONE electrolyte solution. Never use tap water, well water, spring water, or filtered water - minerals and impurities damage electrodes and reduce efficiency. Daily Hydrogen specifically requires distilled water with less than 1 PPM total dissolved solids. Purchase from grocery stores or pharmacies. Avoid "baby water" or "purified water" which may contain added minerals. One gallon typically lasts several months. Store distilled water in original containers away from contaminants. Using proper water extends electrode life and maintains optimal production.
While the PureONE can produce unlimited hydrogen water, most users consume 1-2 liters daily. Since hydrogen water is simply regular water with dissolved hydrogen gas, you can drink it as you would normal water. The hydrogen doesn't accumulate in your body - excess is exhaled through your lungs. Start with smaller amounts and increase gradually based on your personal preference and response. Daily Hydrogen recommends starting slowly and adjusting based on your individual experience.

Hydrogen gas begins escaping from water immediately after bubbling stops.

Retention Times:

  • Uncovered container: Most of the hydrogen dissipates within 30-60 minutes
  • Sealed and kept cold: Up to 12 hours

According to the Molecular Hydrogen Institute, it’s very difficult to fully prevent hydrogen from diffusing through containers — even sealed, refrigerated hydrogen water has generally lost all measurable hydrogen within 12 hours.

Best Practice:
For optimal hydrogen content, drink the water immediately after production. If you need to store it, seal tightly and refrigerate.

Daily Hydrogen provides storage recommendations and containers designed to maximize hydrogen retention.

The PureONE produces hydrogen water with a maximum concentration of approximately 1.2 ppm at room temperature — the saturation point for Brown’s gas. (1.6 ppm is the saturation for pure hydrogen, which is not what the PureONE produces.)

Studied range:
Research studies on hydrogen water generally use concentrations between 0.5 ppm and the saturation point. Current research shows no measurable benefit to hydrogen water below 0.5 ppm, so aim to stay above that level.

How long to bubble:
Higher isn’t necessarily better — once water reaches saturation, additional hydrogen simply escapes. The PureONE reaches full saturation in about 20 minutes per liter at 100% gas production.

Daily Hydrogen’s PureONE is designed to achieve optimal hydrogen concentrations efficiently.

No. We only recommend using distilled water that measures at < 0.5 ppm on a TDS meter.

Water Requirements:

  • Use ONLY distilled water
  • The distilled water should read < 0.5 ppm TDS
  • Do NOT use reverse osmosis water
  • Do NOT use deionized water
  • Do NOT use any other type of purified water

Why This Matters:
Tap water contains minerals that can create toxic gases during electrolysis. Using improper water can also:

  • Damage the electrodes permanently
  • Create potentially dangerous compounds
  • Void your warranty
  • Reduce the lifespan of your device

Where to Get Distilled Water:
Standard distilled water from any grocery store is generally adequate. Verify it reads < 0.5 ppm if you have a TDS meter.

Daily Hydrogen strongly emphasizes using only distilled water for safety and optimal performance.

Check water levels before each use. Depending on usage, you’ll typically need to add distilled water periodically.

When to Add Water:
When the red light comes on, you can add 300 mL of distilled water to top up your PureONE.

General Guidelines:

  • Check water levels daily before use
  • The PureONE consumes water during the electrolysis process
  • Depending on usage, expect to add water every 20-40 hours of operation
  • Never let the water level drop below the minimum mark
  • Always maintain levels between the MIN and MAX indicators

Important:

  • Only add distilled water (0.5 ppm TDS or below)
  • The indicator light will turn red when water needs to be added

Daily Hydrogen recommends establishing a routine for checking and maintaining proper water levels.

General Questions

Hydrogen water is regular water infused with molecular hydrogen (H2) gas. This process adds extra hydrogen molecules to the water without changing its taste or appearance. Studies have shown that hydrogen water may provide antioxidant benefits, help reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness. The molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant that can neutralize harmful free radicals in your body.
The DailyHydrogen bottle uses advanced SPE/PEM (Solid Polymer Electrolyte/Proton Exchange Membrane) technology to infuse water with molecular hydrogen. Simply fill the bottle with water, press the button, and in 3-5 minutes, your water will be enriched with hydrogen molecules. The bottle generates up to 3000 PPB (parts per billion) of hydrogen concentration.
Research suggests hydrogen water may offer several health benefits including: reduced oxidative stress, improved athletic performance and recovery, enhanced energy levels, better hydration, anti-inflammatory effects, improved cognitive function, and potential anti-aging properties. However, individual results may vary and more research is ongoing.
