First use — Your ELITE 9K

Your ELITE 9K is designed and tested in Lyon. Here's how to get started, measure your 9,000 PPB yourself, and maintain it over time.

1
Upon Receipt

Your box contains: the ELITE 9K bottle, the DPD kit (reusable borosilicate glass vial, reagent sachets, numbered color chart 5,000–11,000 PPB, printed protocol), and a USB-C cable. The laser-engraved serial number on the casing automatically links your 5-year warranty to your order.

2
First Charge

Plug in the USB-C cable (5V / 2A). A full charge takes approximately 90 minutes and provides 14 cycles of 250 mL (i.e., ~3.5 L of hydrogenated water). The LED indicator shows the level (25 / 50 / 75 / 100%). For the very first use, a 50–80% charge is sufficient.

3
First Electrolysis

Fill the bottle with water (preferably filtered), close the cap, then start a 7-minute cycle. At the end of the cycle, your water is saturated with molecular hydrogen. Drink within minutes: H₂ being a gas, the concentration slowly decreases in the open air.

4
Your Daily Ritual

The dose documented by studies is 750 mL per day, ideally in 3 intakes of 250 mL. The benefits described in the literature are progressive: allow a minimum of 12 weeks to calmly evaluate, with measurements to support it.

5
Measure Your 9,000 PPB Yourself

This is the HYDROGENYX promise: a verifiable concentration, not just a declared one. After a 7-minute cycle, immediately transfer some water into the vial, add one DPD reagent sachet, shake for 30 seconds, then read the shade on the numbered color chart (less than 60 seconds). You get your actual concentration in PPB.

6
Maintenance

To preserve the SPE/PEM cell over time: preferably use filtered water, rinse with clear water after your day, and empty the bottle before prolonged storage. Never submerge the electronic casing or the USB-C port in water, and do not put it in the dishwasher. For descaling or any maintenance questions, write to us: we will send you the appropriate protocol.

7
Warranty & Support

Your 5-year warranty on the cell is active upon delivery — no registration needed, the engraved serial number is sufficient.
