⚠️ Important Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and prevent injury or product damage:
-
Use only distilled water (never tap or filtered water). Distilled water is required because it has the lowest amount of TDS (total dissolved solids)
-
Water requirements: Resistivity >2 MΩ·cm | Conductivity <0.5 µS/cm.
-
Do not add anything to the water (no minerals, electrolytes, etc.).
-
Never disassemble the electrolysis cell.
-
Always drain water before transporting the device.
-
Do not use near open flame or in poorly ventilated areas.
-
Avoid confined, dusty spaces and corrosive gases.
-
Ensure power is grounded and the power port is clean and dry.
-
Be cautious around static electricity, sparks, or oxygen-rich environments. Elevated oxygen levels combined with hydrogen increase combustion risk.
-
If you have lung or cardiovascular conditions, or use other respiratory devices, consult a medical professional before using hydrogen inhalation therapy. Controlled clinical data is still limited.

Unbox the machine and inspect it for any damage during shipping.
-
Remove the three protective plugs from the ports on top of the unit.
|
|
|
2. Fill the Water Tank
-
Remove the black fill tank cap on top of the machine (it pulls off; no twisting required).
-
Pour distilled water into the tank until it reaches the fill line (approximately 11 cups or ~2.6 liters).
- You want distilled water because it has the lowest amount of TDS (total dissolved solids)
-
If you put too much water in there, the machine will give you an error and you will need to drain it.
-
Replace the tank lid securely on top.
3. Power Connection
-
Connect the machine to power using the provided power cord.
-
Ensure the outlet is free of debris or water.
-
Plug the cord into a surge protector (not included).
-
-
Locate the power switch on the back panel and flip it to “ON”.
-
The front panel screen will light up and enter standby mode.
-
The Echo Water logo pops up. In order to go to the next screen you have to touch it.
-
4. Test Airflow
-
Cover any port for 5–10 seconds then release to hear the air flow.
-
Note: The oxygen port will feel weaker than the hydrogen ports.
-
Important: Oxygen will not flow if the tank lid is off. Make sure the lid is securely on.
5. Connect the Tubing
-
Locate the 4-way connector with four tubes attached.
-
Connect tubes as follows:
-
Short middle tube → Oxygen port (center)
-
Two long tubes → Hydrogen ports (left and right)
-
Nasal cannula tube → 4th connector
-
Do I need all 3 tubes connect to the Echo Refresh when using?
Yes, you need all 3 tubes connected when using the Echo Refresh.
- These are the 3 channel ports - H2 Outputs and 1 Oxygen Output.
- You can choose on the machine how much Hydrogen and Oxygen output you would like.
- You can create a brown gas mixture (hydrogen and oxygen), pure oxygen or pure hydrogen alone, but you need all 3 of them connected.
- View available mixtures you can create below.
Machine is now ready for use

Frequently Asked Questions
The Fill Line Is Difficult to See
On the new Echo Refresh model, the fill line may be harder to see through the viewing window.
The correct fill level is approximately:
11 cups of distilled water (~2.6 liters).
Helpful tip:
When the machine powers on:
-
A red LED light inside the unit illuminates.
-
Pressing Play activates a blue LED light, which makes it easier to see the water level while filling.
If too much water is added, the machine will display an error message, and you will need to drain some water before operating.
Is Hydrogen Inhalation Safe?
Published human safety studies suggest that low-concentration hydrogen gas (~2% mixed with air) appears to be safe and well tolerated.
Participants in these studies showed no clinically significant changes in:
-
Vital signs
-
Lung function
-
Neurological function
-
Standard laboratory markers
However, there are important safety considerations:
-
Pure hydrogen gas is flammable.
-
High concentrations of hydrogen mixed with oxygen or air can create fire or explosion risks.
Some poorly designed devices that generate undiluted or high-concentration hydrogen have been associated with equipment failure or safety risks.
For this reason, it is important to only use certified hydrogen inhalation systems designed to safely dilute hydrogen below explosive thresholds, such as the Echo Refresh.
Can I Buy Replacement Cannulas?
Echo Water does not currently sell replacement cannulas directly.
However, you can purchase standard nasal cannulas with a water trap from most:
-
Online retailers
-
Medical supply stores
-
Local pharmacies
One compatible option is available here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KF28LHQ
Can More Than One Person Use the Refresh at the Same Time?
The Echo Refresh is designed for optimal performance with one user at a time.
This ensures the proper hydrogen concentration and flow rate.
While it is technically possible to split the line using a Y-splitter, doing so would:
-
Divide the hydrogen output
-
Reduce the concentration each person receives
For best results, single-user sessions are recommended.
Why Are Different Flow Levels Used?
Different hydrogen flow levels can affect comfort and session duration, but higher flow does not necessarily mean better results.
Low Flow (~900 mL/min)
Best for sleep or long sessions
-
Gentle and comfortable breathing
-
Reduces throat dryness
-
Ideal for overnight use
Medium Flow (~1200 mL/min)
Best for standard daily sessions
-
Balanced comfort and delivery
-
Ideal for 20–60 minute sessions
-
Most common setting for home users
High Flow (~1800 mL/min)
Best for shorter, high-demand sessions
-
Faster hydrogen saturation
-
Useful for multi-user or clinical environments
Key Takeaway
Higher flow rates mainly affect how quickly hydrogen fills the breathing circuit, not necessarily how much your body absorbs.
For most at-home users, 1200 mL/min provides excellent results with the most comfortable experience.
