What is a
Hydrogen Water
Generator?
•The Aquacentrum BLUE 900® produces Hydrogen gas
to then dissolve it in drinking water.
•Hydrogen gas is gained thanks to a special electrolysis
cell from the bottled water. This so called PEM cell is
equivalent to the reversal of a fuel cell. In contrast to
that is the energy of the molecular, gaseous Hydrogen
not combusted with the help of oxygen, to gain
electricity, instead electricity is used to gain hydrogen
and oxygen from water. The electrical energy used is
almost completely stored in the hydrogen.
•Oxygen is to be seen as waste which does not dissolve
in water, instead it is emitted into the air through a small
hole in the housing.
•A characteristic of drinking water in which molecular
hydrogen is dissolved is that a small negative electric
tension is shown with a measurement electrode, a so
called negative oxidation reduction potential.
•The lower the redox potential, the higher the willingness
water has of giving off electrons. Per 0,018 Volt (18
Millivolt) lower redox potential does the willingness
double. The Aquacentrum BLUE 900® has an about 400
to 800 Milivolt lower redox potential than tap water or
mineral water from a bottle.

3 – Producing Hydrogen water oneself
•For many years it was irrefutable that activated water
keeps its negative redox potential and therefor its
electron abundance for just a few hours or days.!
Yet when it was discovered that dissolved hydrogen is
the deciding factor for the antioxidant effect, was an
industry developed that presses hydrogen under high
pressure into multilayered water bags where the
positive qualities were able to be kept for some
months. Such a bag with 0,2 l of hydrogen water costs
around 4 €and also creates big waste problems.
•Hydrogen rich water was until now only produced by
stationary electric water ionizers. But one does also
want to drink fresh activated water when on the go.
•Hydrogen dissolves very reluctantly in water, unless, it
is pressed in with high pressure.
•That is exactly what a Aquacentrum BLUE 900® does.
It works with a PEM cell, that only produces a few
drops of waste water as a condensate, which is
emitted into the atmosphere. !
!
Result: Hydrogen rich water.

4 – Hydrogen water – The new benchmark for drinking"
•Previously only the ORP was measured, to
determine the antioxidant effect of activated
water. Yet this is very inaccurate and a relative
value, because the ORP is influenced not only by
the dissolved hydrogen, but also from the different
ORPs of the different materials dissolved in the
water, e.g. minerals.
•After the role of hydrogen was recognised as
being important, Japan produced the first
pseudo-measuring-device on the market. The
Trustlex ENH 1000, which wanted to differentiate a
content of dissolved hydrogen with the measured
ORP over an experience based conversion factor
of ca. (-)2,14. This factor was severely criticised by
experts in Japan and the U.S. and Trustlex has
admitted that the device does not work properly.
•Electronic measuring devices demand a
specialised knowledge and are very expensive.
Therefor we recommend the chemical titration
method with the H2 Blue Kit ®, developed by the
U.S. Hydrogen researcher Tyler Le Baron. These
drops are available as an optional accessory.
One drop of the H2 Blue Kit ® (per 6 ml) is
internationally valid as evidence for 100 ppb (0,1
ppm) dissolved hydrogen in water.
Left (middle) you see a 1 Liter plastic bottle filled
with de-ionized water which was stained blue-
green by 16 drops
After 7 minutes use the liquid dissolved and
indicated the dissolved hydrogen.
After 15 minutes use the Blue 900 reached with 0,5
de-ionized water 1,3 ppm. At 40 minutes has the
maximum limit of its pressure resistance been
reached. In the water we measure then 4,0 ppm
hydrogen in de-ionized test-water.

5 – Always fresh hydrogen - free water choice
With a device for on the move it is clear:
There is no point enriching water with
hydrogen energy if it does not make
challenging demands on drinking water.
Sadly small bottles, that fit on the adapter,
are mostly made of plastic. In principle all
trustworthy bottled water and even water
from a reverse osmosis device (RO water)
can be used.
Only restriction: The water cannot be
carbonated. The total gas pressure would
rise too greatly.

09 – Removing the protective moisture cap
Setting the electrode free, eliminating odour
1. Unscrew the pressure container from the production unit
2. Remove the protective cap above the cathode grid and keep it in case you do not use
the device in 2 days. The cathode should always be kept moist with a bit of water.
3. Remove the protective cap, assemble the device and rinse the interior with water whilst
shaking vigorously. With odour problems add 1 teaspoon of the delivered citric acid with
½Liter of water and repeat the rinsing process. Citric acid is biodegradable and is, for
example, present in lemonade.

10 – Charging mode
1. Place the device on a dry, flat surface.
2. Open the rubber flap over the charging socket.
3. Plug the USB cable into the charging plug and
the other end into the production unit. Then plug
the charger into a 220 V plug.
4. During charging the battery icon will light up to
indicate how much has been charged. The USB
symbol will display the charging operation.
5. Before first use the battery has to be fully charged.
Charging time is 2 - 4 hours.
6. Once the battery icon shows 4 bars, remove the
cable and close the rubber flap above the
charging socket.

Adjust the volume of the English announcement
to a comfortable level or switch it off (mute).
Procedure: Turn on by pressing the action
button. Press it 3 times until volume blinks. By
repeatedly pressing, choose the desired volume.
Then wait until blinking stops automatically.

12 – Operating mode
Wether you fill the pressure container or use a bottle (a) with the bottle adapter with water you would
like to electrolyse: Before switching the device on, you should have at least 0,1 Liter of drinking water in
the container. Ideally the container is filled to the top, like this greater hydrogen pressure can build up
and more hydrogen is pressed and dissolved into the water. Keep an eye on the sealed screw fitting and
check or replace the rubber seals, if water leaks, before you start using the device. Attention: Hydrogen
pressure may not be raised by repeating the electrolytic process more than 40 minutes.
The starting mode requires that the device is operational. The display is illuminated
Pressing the action button once means that operating mode 1 starts (b), which takes 3 minutes.
Pressing the action button twice means that operating mode 2 starts (c), which takes 5 minutes.
When starting an announcement will commence: “Generating Hydrogen water” and the blue LED
bubbles start to blink. When finished they switch off with the announcement “Generating completed”.
After a finalising tone the display is off. You are able to stop the procedure during electrolysis by pressing
the action button. Also then the announcement and the finalising tone will chime.

13 – Optional accessory: Hydrogen measuring drops
Testing the amount of molecular hydrogen is carried out immediately after production with the
optional H2 Blue® Kit.
A water sample of 6 ml is filled carefully into the measuring cup and one drop of the blue measuring
liquid is added. To obtain the same size of drops it is recommended to keep the bottle vertical. Each
drop that discolours means 0,1 ppm (=100 ppb) dissolved hydrogen gas. !
If a drop does not discolour automatically one can stir gently.
If the liquid still does not discolour, then the last drop does not count. Water under normal air pressure
can contain up to 1,6 ppm hydrogen gas (full saturation). From chemicals or with the Aquacentrum
BLUE 900 ® Hydrogen Generator you can also produce an over saturated water with more than 6 ppm.
Yet this falls back to full saturation after a few minutes when this water comes into contact with the
normal atmosphere. Whoever wants a lot of hydrogen, has to drink quickly or fill the container to the
brim so that it is gas-tight and bubble free.
Do not drink the test liquid and keep it out of reach of children! Use protective gloves, a surface that
can be wiped clean and watch out for clothing or dishcloths. The drops contain methylene blue, a
very intense dye.

14 – Comparative values with Volvic Water (10 min.)
There are hydrogen generators with a central
PEM-cell, which defuse oxygen through an air
hole directly from the cell into the air, already
as different models. Since the cells respectively
have two electrodes and the same diameter,
there are only small differences with the
cathode grid. !
With devices of different manufacturers is the
desired amount of dissolved hydrogen almost
the same, which a comparative measurement
with 0,5 Liters of Volvic mineral water shows.
The difference of 0,1 ppm lies within the
measuring tolerance.

15 – Interior cleaning
The inside of the pressure container and the
grid patterned negative electrode, which
produces the hydrogen, must be cleaned if you
have visible limescale traces with 1 teaspoon of
citric acid dissolved in warm water. Allow the
citric acid solution to work for 1 hour.
Afterwards, rinse the container and the
electrode several times with warm water.
This cleaning process should also be carried
out if an unpleasant odour is perceived from the
device. In this case the water should be 60 - 80
Degrees C.
These cleaning instructions also count for the
bottle you use.
Watch out for perfect hygiene and remove
limescale traces with citric acid.

16 – Exterior cleaning /storage. Technical details
Wipe the outside of the device with a moist, soft
cloth.
You can also remove heavy dirt stains from the
inside of the pressure container if you half fill it with
warm water and shake vigorously. Then pour the
water out.
Store the device at room temperature and do not
place in direct sunlight.

17 - Hydrogen water – not just for drinking!
•As opposed to alkaline activated water from a classic water ionizer, the pH value of the treated water
remains the same. Hydrogen water can also be slightly acidic, although not as much hydrogen will be
stored like with alkaline water. We have measured, for example, with a slightly acidic, reverse osmosis
water a clearly lower hydrogen content to a slightly alkaline mineral water like Aqua Panna: the ratio is 1,2
ppm to 1,9 ppm with the mineral water.
•Drink up to 0,3 l of water per 10 kg of bodyweight daily. With high temperatures and / or strenuous
physical activity respectively more. Preferably use alkaline water. Optimal would be water from an
Aquavolta ® Water Ionizer that already makes filtered, alkaline water which contains 0,6 to 1,2 ppm of
hydrogen. Then the Aquacentrum Blue 900 ® Hydrogen Generator can store more hydrogen thanks to its
high pressure technique and this water is then suitable for laying foods in:
•Lay fruit, salads, cut flowers, raw eggs and vegetables in fresh, hydrogen rich, electrolysis water for 15-30
minutes. These refresh themselves by absorbing hydrogen, which is even absorbed through eggshells. With
the absorption of hydrogen does the ORP of the foods sink, something the foods inspector Dr. Manfred
Hoffmann regards as a sign of higher quality of nourishment. Mix milk powders, diet powders, fitness
powders etc. with hydrogen water. Dissolve mineral and vitamin mixes with this water. Also like this the ORP
sinks favourably thanks to the dissolved hydrogen.
•Buy juice concentrates - preferably organic. Like this you put an end to carrying the juice cartons and
consequential pollution. No seller on the market can deliver juices with a better ORP. See: Asenbaum, K.
H., Electro Activated Water, Munich 2016, page 42 ff.
•Mix alcoholic drinks and cocktails with hydrogen water. They become milder, the taste can be
appreciated more. Make ice-cubes out of hydrogen water.
•After alcohol intake drink 2 glasses in the evening as well as 2 glasses the next morning on an empty
stomach.
•Give your pets (dogs, cats ...) hydrogen rich electrolysis water to drink and observe how their fur and
general health is positively improved.
