Key similarities
- Same SPE/PEM technology at 99.99% purity
- Y connector included for two-user or combined H₂+O₂ delivery
- Same certification stack and 12-month warranty
- Both run on standard household power
Key differences
- Throughput: 1,200 vs 1,800 ml/min total flow (800 vs 1,200 ml/min pure H₂)
- Noise: QY-A1200 is the quietest in the range; QY-A1800 trades a few dB for output
- Footprint: identical 16 kg / 260 × 340 × 420 mm chassis in both machines
- Display: smart touch with live TDS/temp vs front-panel control
Which one fits you?
You want the quietest possible machine, plan to run long evening sessions, and value the smart touch display with live TDS and temperature.
You want more hydrogen per session — for serious solo protocols, two-user households, small wellness studios or yoga rooms — without moving up to the multi-user QY-A3000.
Both machines carry CE, FCC, RoHS, ISO 9001 and ISO 13485-aligned manufacturing. Certifications describe hardware and manufacturing standards, not therapeutic status.
View all certifications →Both use a 3 L purified-water reservoir and the same cell-rinse cadence. Use distilled or RO water. The identical 16 kg chassis dissipates heat consistently across back-to-back sessions.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the QY-A1800 produce 50% more hydrogen than the QY-A1200?
- Yes — pure H₂ flow steps from 800 ml/min on the QY-A1200 to 1,200 ml/min on the QY-A1800, with total gas (H₂+O₂) rising from 1,200 to 1,800 ml/min.
- Is the QY-A1800 a multi-user machine?
- It includes a Y connector for two-user sessions. For three independent outlets and multi-user clinical use, step up to the QY-A3000.
- Which is quieter?
- The QY-A1200 at ≤40 dB — the quietest machine in the range. The QY-A1800 is louder at ≤48 dB because it packs higher output into the same chassis.
- Can I use both in the same accessory ecosystem?
- Yes — cannulas, Y connectors and humidifier tubes are interchangeable across the QY-A series.
