AquaCure FlashBack Arrestor (FBA)
$35.00
Flash Back Arrestor (FBA)
Problem: Brown’s Gas is flammable (21 fps in open air) and if it enters an enclosed area (like a tube) it accelerates to 5000+ fps (explosion). Even though explosions are extremely rare; Brown’s Gas is easily ignited by a spark or open flame. If the gas is ignited, the tubing and the Drinking Water jar itself are fine, no damage will be done to them.
BUT: The plastic LID of the Drinking Water jar is stiff and will be broken if the Brown’s Gas in the Drinking Water jar explodes. Replace the lid and you are back in business but that is inconvenient, particularly if you need to order a new lid…
Solution: Add a Flash Back Arrestor to the gas output of the Drinking Water jar, so NO flashback from the hose can REACH the jar.

Note: There is NO WAY for a flashback arrestor to protect the ‘user’ of the Brown’s Gas, as the concentrated gas on the USER-SIDE of the FBA is vulnerable to any external flame or spark…
Like (it’s happened several times) someone is smoking as they inhale Brown’s Gas. Yeah I know, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? And then they had the gumption to actually TELL ME they’d done it (I admire their integrity) 🙂
But it isn’t just smoking, any open flame that is too close (a candle caused one) or static electrical sparks (several from that) can ignite the gas. The ONLY thing that protects the user is NOT inhaling a combustible mixture (air with more than 4.7% hydrogen is combustible); that is WHY we have user-adjustable gas volume on the AquaCure.
Note: For those people who insist they want to use GLASS for the Drinking Water jar and think that this FBA will allow them to prevent explosions from shattering the jar and flinging glass shards like a hand grenade… DON’T DO IT! The risk of the Drinking Water jar gas exploding is very small, but it is NOT ZERO.
We sincerely believe in “First DO NO HARM”. Flying plastic is inconvenient. Flying glass is dangerous.
AND FYI there is NO NEED TO USE GLASS, because the water in the Drinking Water jar NEVER TOUCHES THE PLASTIC!
The inner surfaces of the Drinking Water jar almost instantly form a substance layer we call EZ Gel (See Prof. Gerald Pollack’s EZ Water). EZ stands for Exclusion Zone, because it EXCLUDES any impurities. Scientific study and testing has proven Brown’s Gas (but not hydrogen) significantly increases the EZ Gel layer. The EZ Gel keeps the water from touching the plastic, so your water stays pure. EZ Gel is also one of the most HEALTHFUL substances on the planet, as it’s NEEDED by ALL water-based life forms. We LITERALLY could not exist without it (another newly discovered fact about water).
