USER GUIDE
WARNING
• Do not tamper with, disassemble or puncture the HYDROFILL
• Keep HYDROFILL away from fire, open flame, or heat source
• Keep HYDROSTIK cartridge away from fire, open flame, or heat source
• Keep HYDROFILL away from children
• Keep HYDROFILL in upright position
• Fill de-ionized or distilled water slowly and carefully to avoid overfilling the water tank

• Do not consume the apple acid powder or the ion exchange resin pouch and
keep them away from children
• Keep all electrical connections dry at all times
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The HYDROFILL system is designed to refill
Horizon's HYDROSTIK solid hydrogen cartridges
automatically, which uses a proton exchange
membrane (PEM) electrolyzer based system.
The HYDROFILL separates hydrogen and oxygen
from water and stores hydrogen in a safe, solid
form using special metal alloys contained in the
HYDROSTIK cartridges.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Water tank Open the water tank cover located at the top of the HYDROFILL unit. Pour the entire contents of one
1.
bag of apple acid into the water to mix with water completely before using the HYDROFILL ( Fig. A）.
Carefully fill de-ionized or distilled water into the water tank until water reaches the ridge level in the
tank ( Fig. B）. Place the ion exchange resin pouch* (d) into the water tank (Fig. B). Close the cover.
