I have just started using dual HHO Generators w/dual MAF Enhansor (city & highway) and things look good so far. The distilled water w/baking soda gets brown after a short time and I am seeking a better alternative to Baking Soda. I have been told that baking soda is the lowest in the production of HHO and that Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide is the best. The claims are that it does not 'muddy' the water, stays cooler and lasts longer. I wanted to get more opinions/suggestions before I change or try something else due to the critical handling of Hydroxide plus the uncertainty of how apply and how much to use. Any suggestions or comments would be extremely welcome regarding this so I can get the maximum benefit of my system. Thanks.

Hydroxide is caustic but as long as you don't have leaks and you keep it off your skin, it is the best. You should set up your booster using an ammeter, record the volume of Hydroxide to the volume of water and add only enough to get to the targe amperage draw. My system is a 7 cell electrolyzer and I run 8 teaspoons of Hydroxide to get the system to draw 20 amps. My booster is pretty efficient and can take a high concentration, yours may or may not, hence, the ammeter.

The question of electrolyte is an interesting one, and I am sure I will be trying to figure that one out in the next little while. But, another question we have is how are we going to protect the WFC from winter freeze. I have read to use baking soda, windshield washer fluid, Heat/alcohol. Anyone have experience in this area?

any thoughts on oxalic acid (C2H2O4)I tried it yesterday and it worked well as a catalyst using 1/3 the amount as bicarb soda to draw the same amperage and appeared to make more gas though I dont have any way of measuring that also the solution took longer to heat up and didnt get very hot at all I also am new at this and am just conducting my own litte experiments but the water seemed to go brown then clear after it was tuned off oxalic acid is readily available as a timber or leather bleach I use it to remove iron stains from light coloured vegetable tanned leather
