the industrial electrolyzer? It keeps pulling out the empty cells before the electrolyzer gets a chance to use them.

And i've tried every side.

One of the gtech machines lets you do that. Advanced buffer or translocator, or something. You could also use a router ('s what I do).

Ok, I did that. But I have another issue. I hooked up an emerald pipe to only pull hydrogen and air cells and the reaction creates 4 hydrogen 1 air but the emerald pipe will only pull 1 of each out each time the electrolyzer finishes it's cycle. It's ignoring the remaining 3 hydrogen even though I have it set to constantly pulse regardless of circumstances. Why would this be?

Post a screenshot of your setup, because my wooden pipe attached to the side definitely doesn't pull the empty cells.

(Make sure the empty cells are in the bottom slot.)

The empty cells are in the designated slot for empty cells

Pull from the sides for output product.

Pull/push the top for input

Pull/push the bottom for cells.

Same for Industrial Electrolyzer, Industrial Centrifuge, and Chemical Reactor.

I would really suggest using electric translocators. you have the eu there already, you just need a lv transformer for the translocator. if placed on the side of the electrolyzer, it will pull out the finished products. the same goes for any gregtech machine, I believe. the translocator just needs an inventory to dump into, like a chest or relay.

Emerald pipes insist on cycling through their filtered blocks until they get one of each. Once you've pulled one air cell and one hydrogen cell, it'll wait forever until it gets another air cell. You could solve this by using two separate emerald pipes with one item each...or maybe setting the first four filter slots to hydrogen and the fifth to air? Not 100% sure that would work, but it's worth a try.

Most helpful reply here, thanks. I will try that suggestion.

EDIT: that worked. Filled it with the exact amount of cells i wanted it to pull out and it worked.
