Sodium Hypochlorite Generator Multi-Purpose Cleaning Supplies Generator, Chlorine Testing Strips Included

So far, so good. This is a review in progress...The goal is to generate a whole gallon of useful disinfecting chlorine bleach; sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), at a concentration of at least 0.5~1.0% (5~10 g/L; 5,000~10,000 ppm). Hopefully, I can achieve even higher concentrations.First, My A.I. buddy Grok recommends a sodium solution (salt content) of 19–38 g/L, which translates to 4~8 tbsp per gallon, or 1/4 to 1/2 cup of table salt, non-iodized if available. I will be experimenting with 1/4 cup, 3/8 cup, and 1/2 cup of salt per gallon of warm water in my experimentation.I have received my first USB chlorine electrolysis generator in the mail today, and so far it is working well. I have ordered a second unit, as well as a magnetic stir plate, stir bars, which should be ariving in the next couple days. The generator is only pulling 0.5~0.6 Ampres of current with the 1/4 cup solution, and to speed things along I really might as well buy a second unit. The stir bar will help keep the very fine bubbles suspended in the water for longer (3 to 10 times as long) to really absorb into solution, drastically reducing the time to achieve final product.I am running the USB generators on a battery backup powerbank rather than plugged directly into a wall charger, as it is absolutely forbidden to plug any electrical device submerged into water into a wall outlet. Watch youtube videos for USB wall chargers catching on fire, creating an electrical fire in your home, and electrifying the water you are working with. This is because most USB chargers reference to ground, and not properly isolated floating voltage, which encourages electrical arc and short circuit. It happens a lot. So, a battery bank should be used. I will be using a battery bank with (2) USB type-A ports.Until I receive the rest of my order, this concludes my my review in progress.

After reading about hypochlorous acid, I purchased this to simplify my cleaning routine. It's non-toxic when used properly, cheap and easy to make, and most importantly, very effective. I work in an environment that is germ-infested (lots of children around), and I can spray this stuff on anything without worrying about hurting someone. I also use it as hand sanitizer and a face refresher.I make 800mL at a time in a medium-sized Mason jar. I use reverse osmosis water from the grocery refill station with 1tsp each of iodine-free salt and vinegar, then let the device do its thing for about 2 hours in the garage (some chlorine off-gassing that could be dangerous). The concentration turns out to over 200ppm and pH of about 5, which is effective to disinfect in about 30 seconds or less. I have it stored in amber colored spray bottles away from heat and sunlight (they cause the solution to become ineffective quickly) and the leftovers go in the fridge (label to prevent drinking). There is a slight chlorine odor when spraying and using. It's safe to use on anything, including your skin and pets. DO NOT INHALE FUMES when transferring liquid!

It works great to make chlorine....15 minutes and 300 ppm.*** Please note, this is quite different from HOCL (which is what I really wanted). This can not be used on the skin and is toxic. Just know what you are making. Chlorine bleach

A good basic unit. Overall it seems to work quite well, and produces the same hypochlorous acid that the expensive units do at a fraction of the price. The included instructions aren't quite so insightful, so from my research here is what I came up with. 100ml of water, 1ml of vinegar, and 0.25g of salt. This should be a neutral to slightly acidic PH. If your water starts out more basic, you will need to add more vinegar. If your PH is neutral to slightly acidic, you will get more hypochlorous acid. If it is more basic, you will get more hypochlorite (aka bleach). I premix a bottle with a bunch of vinegar and salt measured out into it with an eye dropper with a 1ml mark on it. Makes it quick and easy. The one star knock off is that it is not built great and you can see that the plates are a bit loose inside, but it does work. Of course verify everything yourself and be cautious with any chemistry you conduct on your own. Test strips are vital when getting started.

I was skeptical that it would really work, but the strong scent of chlorine and the change in my chlorine test strips tell me that it's working. I have been filling a jar with about 12 oz of water and adding 3 of the included spoons of salt. After 30 min of electrolysis, the solution is > 250 PPM.The device is really easy to use and only takes a minute or two to setup. Using my own home made disinfect not only saves money but is also satisfying for the chemistry nerd in me. 😉
