What container do you use for your Electrodes?

[Bissli]

i've started using the big water filters made by GE called "smart water". i know there are a few other manufactures of these water filters to choose from.

they have types created for hot and cold water, get the hot



i used 2" pvc previously and it started to warp due to high temp

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking?

Sure, Filtering the water before adding the electrolyte, etc, is a good idea... But I'm not sure what you are asking about using filters?

Thanks.

the water filter is what im going to try next. but right now im using a mason jar works fine for testing u can see everything inside. i think pvc pipe would work to but have not tryed it yet.

I used the Jar method for a long time, at least its glass and can take high temperatures. As with everybody, when you first start making cells and trying out different plates and configurations with different electrolyte levels, you tend to get those times when things go wrong and the temperature gets a bit wild. Once you have a good cell which works for you, then is the time to think about different containers and materials. I personally like to see whats going on inside all the time, but maybe it would be OK if you only want to see whats in the bubbler! Its personal choice.....what works for you!

I see someone using a unit from www.aquafilter.com unit here.

http://waterpoweredcar.com/simplebooster.html

the unit is acrylic styrene which has a low max temperature threshold. 96C 199.4°F.

However they also have this unit http://aquafilter.com/index.php?opti...ucts&Itemid=38

Which has 3/4" or 1/2" inputs and a 3/8" sediment removal valve so you don't have to disassemble your unit every time.. It also come with a mounting bracket.

Wow spam much?

Anyway, I think the water filter housings are possibly the best to use because they're so easy to come by. Of course, I would like to know which ones work best with the temps created by HHO production.

I'm using a Whirlpool housing that they sell at Lowe's. I don't know that you really need the housing for hot water, they are way more expensive. I had the electrolyte in mine up to 170 degrees when I first started testing out my setup. The high temp didn't seem to affect it. It's now installed in my wifes Suburban.

I was thinking about using an old 12V car battery with the guts ripped out and replaced with the HHO stuff.

I currently use a cantex electrical box similar to this http://www.cantexinc.com/cantexinc/P..._Box/Cover.php . I like its usability, but dont like the fact that I cant see through it. My next box and probably all other will be made from Polycarbonate Plastic. These are the specs for the Poly. http://www.onlinemetals.com/alloycat...=Polycarbonate The one thing it doesnt say is that the melt point for poly is over 300 Degrees Farenheit
