OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Open the water tank cover located at the top of the unit (Fig. A). Carefully add de-ionized or distilled
water** EXACTLY up to the ridge level inside the water tank as shown below in Fig. B. Close the cover.
Fig. A
2. Connect the AC-DC adapter to the unit (Fig. C).
Once plugged in to an AC point, the unit's status indicator light should start to flash green.
Fig. C
3. Fully insert the HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO cartridge into the HYDROFILL PRO unit by turning it
clockwise into the cartridge port until firmly secured. During the insertion process, the green indicator
light may turn red to indicate a connection (Fig D), but continue turning to make sure the HYDROSTIK or
HYDROSTIK PRO is firmly secured (Fig E). Secure the HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO tightly to the unit,
but be careful not to apply excessive force.

4. While the indicator light is RED, your HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO cartridge is being filled with hydrogen.
The HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO cartridge is fully charged when the indicator lights GREEN. When
completed, disconnect the HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO cartridge from the HYDROFILL PRO (turn
anti-clockwise to disconnect).
being purged from the system from time to time.
2. It will be normal to hear the sound of air being released when the HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO is disconnected from the
HYDROFILL PRO.
5. Disconnect the HYDROFILL PRO from the AC and empty the water tank if you will not use the HYDROFILL
PRO for more than one week. If more cartridges need to be charged, repeat step 3.
