Powering On the PureONE

Turn on the Blue Power Button on the front of your PureONE.

Reading the Viewing Window

The viewing window allows you to see directly into the float sensor reservoir.  Along with being able to see the water level, there are different visual and audio cues for your PureONE’s different water levels.

• When overfilled, the light in the Viewing Window will turn solid red and an alarm will sound.Normal Level

• When the water level is between the refill level and the overfill level, the light in the Viewing Window will be purple.2. Refill Level

• When the water level has reached the refill level, the light in the Viewing Window will turn red and no alarm will sound.3. Low Level

• When the water level is too low, the light in the Viewing Window will turn solid red and an alarm will sound.

Using the Timer Switch

1. To set the timer, press the button with the desired session length on the timer panel.
2. To keep the light on the timer panel turned on while it’s running, hold the top to buttons (the “1 min” and “5 min”) down together for about 5 seconds.
3. To set the timer to continuous gas production (will stop only when either you turn it off or the water level gets too low), hold the large button on the bottom of the timer panel down for about 8 seconds.
4. To turn off the timer, press the large button at the bottom of the timer.

Using the Frequency Switch

1. To increase and decrease the frequency, press the up and down arrows on the left side of the frequency switch.  We recommend setting it at 174 Hz.
2. To increase and decrease the gas production (duty%), press the up and down arrows on the right side of the frequency switch

Gas Production

The PureONE has no internal components to force air out of the electrolyser.  Any air / gas flowing out of the PureONE happens only by virtue of the pressure increase as the water inside the PureONE is converted into Brown’s gas, thus expanding in volume.

Therefore, save for the first few seconds of gas production as the Brown’s gas purges any air from the system, anything coming out of the PureONE can only ever be 100% Brown’s gas.

The rule: If you have bubbles, you have Brown’s gas and only Brown’s gas.

Connecting the Cannula and Connection Hoses

When connecting the hoses and cannula to the lids of the Purifiers and Infuser, press them onto the lids connections firmly to prevent gas leaks.  

Each lid has an input and output. The input on each lid has a bubbling stone connected below it, and the output has no bubbling stone connected to it.  

Crossing these connections will force water from one bottle to the next, which also means that water can be pushed up into the cannula if connected to the wrong port on the lid.

Starting from the output from the back of PureONE, that gets connected to the input of the first Purifier.  The output of that Purifier is then connected to the input of the next Purifier.  And the output of that Purifier is then connected to the input of the Infuser.

The Cannula can be connected directly to the output of the second Purifier, or you can connect your Infusion Bottle to the second Purifier and then connect the cannula to the Infusion Bottle.

Testing for Gas Flow Through the Cannula

After connecting the cannula to the Infuser, there are a couple methods to test for gas flow.  The gas is very near atmospheric pressure as it comes out of the cannula and it can be difficult to feel it flowing.  To confirm that the system is sealed properly and gas is coming out of the cannula, turn on the gas production (start the timer) and:

1. Dip the nasal prongs of the cannula into water.  If there are bubbles, you have gas flow.
2. Pinch the nasal prongs closer.  This will increase pressure inside the PureONE and the bubbling in the bottles will slow down. 
   When unclasping the cannula, you will see a quick surge in bubbling.  This means you have gas flow.

Testing Gas Seals

pressure within the PureONE that forces Brown’s gas through the system, any gas leaking from a bad seal will decrease the amount of gas exiting the system at the end of the line (ie. the amount of gas moving through the cannula).

To test your seals, turn on the gas production (start the timer) and set the duty% to 10%.  This will create a small increase in pressure inside the PureONE.  If there are any gas leaks, this will be indicated as an absence of bubbling in either/both the Purifiers and Infusion Bottle.

If this test indicates that you have a gas leak, double check that the Connection Hoses are connected tightly and that the lids on your bottles are tight.

Shutting Off the PureONE

1. Shut off gas production by pressing the large button on the bottom of the timer panel.
2. Power down the PureONE by turning off the blue switch. 
   

*The PureONE can remain powered on after the gas production is stopped.  This will not harm your PureONE and will draw very little electricity.
