I am running a 5 tube config. cell and with 1 1/2 tsp. of NAOH. I was getting 15 amps at startup and it increased to 25 amps when hot with approx. 1.75 litre of HHO/ min.
After 2 days the amperage began to drop, so I added anothr 1/2 tsp of NAOH. Now I am only getting a 10 Amp draw and not making enough HHO.
I have not added water to the cell or the bubbler.
Any ideas ?

Check all your electrical connections. Even the ones inside the cells and make sure you have a good connection to all of your plates or whatever you are using. If that doesnt work try replacing the water. Also you may have not gone through the conditioning process of your cells properly

Maybe it is your electrodes. I believe different types of SS hold up to different levels. your SS may be forming oxidation on the surface if it not a good quality SS.

A bigger fear is that you may be loosing electrolite if your loosing water also. You may want to make sure it is not being sucked into your air intake.
