    take a bottle that is one liter an put the hose in it start the stopwatch and then fill the bottle under water and when the bottle is full of HHO and no more water stop the clock and that is the LPM. then is no math unless you have a 1/2 liter bottle or a 2 liter bottle then u have some math. it EASY!

    Then comes the math... Time it takes to fill the bottle X 2

    take the time for 500ml
    then times it by 2
    and thats the time to fill 1liter

    example:

    25 sec. for 500ml
    x2
    =50sec for one liter

    then if you want you can cross multiply and find out what the exact amount of liters you produce in a minute. thats the math part.

    you mean 50x60=3000 lpm

    Is this correct?

    Thanks

    Actually you need to go the other way

    60 divided by 50 = 1.2LPM

    1000ml=1 liter

    if you fill a 500ml bottle in 30 seconds, that mean that in one minute you will be able to fill 2 500ml bottles or 1 liter. That mean you are producing 1 lpm or Liter per minute.

    Thanks for all the replies,but still not quite clear on the calc basically with the calculated result i am getting.
    I will give you the actual results and then you can calculate the lpm and I will compare with my results.

    It takes 1.47 sec to fill a 500ml coke bottle.

    Thanks again
