Water is about 89% oxygen by weight so a liter of water would electrolysis

If I recall, this is a very inefficient way to get oxygen due to the strong
bonds in water.
Yes indeed! Electrolysis is only practical if you have essentially free
electricity; or if you happen to need the hydrogen and/or all the waste
heat.
For instance, an electric water heater could also produce a small amount
of oxygen by electrolysis, since the heat is what you really wanted anyway.
