Filling of the reactor with electrolyte solution
For the production of gas a certain amount of electrolyte
solution is required. When delivered, the unit is not filled with
electrolyte for reasons of safety.
The electrolyte is not included in the delivery volume and must
be purchased separately.
Electrolyte is a strong caustic solution!
Risk of heavy causticization on skin, mucous membranes and
eyes!

inhaling of vapours!
Always wear protective gloves and goggles when handling
electrolytes to prevent causticization! Do not inhale the vapours!
Store open containers with electrolyte at a safe place and keep
them out of reach of unauthorized persons, in particular of
children.
