A dialysis machine that loses power partway through a session leaves you with a manual procedure to follow and a session to finish or abandon. At home that might be overnight, with a partner asleep and the nearest unit hours away by road. Water treatment equipment needs power too, so an outage hits the session from two directions at once.
Your renal team's plan comes first. Keep your power company's medically dependent registration, keep the emergency steps they have taught you, and ask them before changing anything about how the machine is supplied. A home system supports that plan; it is not a hospital-grade supply.
The LiFePO4 battery and 15 kW hybrid inverter work in UPS mode, so a grid failure does not reach the machine as a flicker or a reset. Behind them the fuel cell turns stored hydrogen back into electricity and keeps the battery topped up, so a session that starts on grid power can finish on stored power without anyone touching a switch.
How it works →
The electrolyser needs filtered, de-ionised water, about 9 litres for each kilogram of hydrogen, and the fuel cell gives most of it back. It runs its own treatment loop, separate from the dialysis water system, so the two do not compete. Charging happens on cheap night-rate power or from wind or micro-hydro, and the round trip loses well over half the energy, so it is a reliability tool, not a way to cut the power bill.
No. Keep their emergency procedure, keep your power company's medically dependent registration, and talk to your clinician before relying on any backup. The system is designed to keep power steady, but it is not a hospital-grade supply and is not a medical device.
It is designed for 15 kW continuous output, which covers an average home with headroom for peaks. Your exact load list, including the water treatment gear, would be checked in pilot sizing before anything is installed.
No. Round-trip efficiency is 30% or less, so every unit of stored power costs more than three to buy. The value is a session that is not interrupted, not a smaller bill.
Pilot installs go to people on this list first. Rural homes, farms and remote sites especially. No spam, no payment.
