Troubleshooting
The most frequent causes of faults during operation of electrolyzer are:
Use of contaminated water
Use of contaminated water
This electrolyzer cell has a special membrane and it requires pure de-ionized water or distilled
water for its operation. Use of any other water sources (tap water, lake water, sea water,
etc.) will compromise the functionality of the membrane and lower its ionic conductivity. A
contaminated membrane will have significantly lower performance compared to a non-
contaminated membrane.
Reversed polarity connection
Reversed polarity connection
If the power supply connection to the electrolyzer is done wrongly and operated, the cathode
catalyst and cathode gas diffusion layer will be permanently damaged.
Reversed
Reversed membrane after disassembly
membrane after disassembly
If the catalyzed membrane is not placed correctly after the disassembly of the hardware (such as
anode catalyst side placed toward the cathode’s perforated electrode), the cell will not operate or
internal components may get damaged.
Insufficient
Insufficient liquid de-ionized water or running the cell dry
liquid de-ionized water or running the cell dry
If the anode chamber does not get sufficient liquid de-ionized water or distilled water or if it
operates in dry mode, components of the cell will get damaged.

Disposal
Do not dispose of electrolyzer cells or components as general household waste.
According to European regulations, used electric and electronic devices may no longer be
disposed of as unsorted household waste. The symbol of the crossed-out wheelie bin indicates
the requirement for separate disposal.
Your local waste management company can provide you with additional information about
disposal options.
