FAQ

Yes, electrolysis units generate hydrogen gas during operation. Hydrogen is not toxic, but it is highly flammable, very light, odorless, and requires very little energy to ignite. Under normal operating conditions, this does not present a safety concern as long as the unit is installed in a well-ventilated area. The system continuously vents hydrogen at low concentrations, keeping levels well below flammability limits. To ensure safe operation, the unit should not be placed in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces and should be kept away from ignition sources. The system also includes a dedicated hydrogen gas outlet that allows the gas to be directed through tubing to an external exhaust point if atmospheric release is not desired. At typical production rates, standard room ventilation is more than sufficient to safely disperse the hydrogen generated.

The stability of hypochlorous acid is influenced by exposure to light, oxygen, reactive surfaces, and metal ions, all of which can accelerate degradation. For this reason, selecting the right packaging material is critical. Amber or opaque high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is the most practical and commonly recommended option because it is chemically inert to HOCl, blocks ultraviolet light, and has relatively low oxygen permeability while remaining lightweight and cost-effective. It is important to use virgin HDPE to avoid contamination from residual metals that may be present in recycled materials. For maximum stability, coated amber glass provides the highest level of protection due to its complete inertness and near-zero oxygen permeability, along with excellent UV blocking properties. However, it is heavier and more fragile than plastic alternatives. Polypropylene caps are widely used and fully compatible with HOCl. When combined with induction seals or integrated gaskets, they help create a leak-proof seal and further limit oxygen exposure.

When hypochlorous acid is produced and stored under the right conditions, it can maintain its effectiveness for approximately six to twelve months. Optimal stability is achieved by maintaining a pH between 4.5 and 6.5, storing the solution in a cool environment, protecting it from direct sunlight, and preventing contamination. When these conditions are met, only minimal reduction in concentration is expected over the course of its shelf life.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the active disinfecting agent your own immune system produces to destroy pathogens. When generated under controlled conditions, it delivers fast, broad-spectrum disinfection by breaking down microorganisms at a cellular level. It is highly effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and biofilms, all while remaining safe for people and surfaces.

Most applications are effectively covered within a range of 50 to 200 ppm, depending on the level of contamination and the specific use case. Because HOCl is highly active, it achieves powerful disinfection at concentrations far lower than conventional chemicals, reducing chemical exposure while maintaining performance.

pH directly determines how much of the solution remains in its most active and effective form. Within the optimal range of 4.5 to 6.5, HOCl exists in its most powerful state, delivering maximum antimicrobial performance. Maintaining this range ensures consistent strength, reliability, and extended shelf life.

Yes. When properly produced and at proper concentrations, HOCl is non-toxic, non-irritating, and safe for direct contact with skin, food-contact surfaces, and sensitive equipment. It delivers industrial-grade disinfection without the risks typically associated with aggressive chemicals.

Yes. HOCl is widely used across food and beverage environments due to its effectiveness and safety. It is suitable for surface sanitation, equipment cleaning, and produce washing, supporting high hygiene standards without introducing harmful residues.

On-site generation provides complete control over quality, freshness, and supply. It eliminates the need to store, transport, handle hazardous chemicals, and waste, reduces operating costs and carbon footprint over time, and ensures a consistent, ready-to-use disinfectant whenever it is needed.
