Hydrogen & Alkaline Water Technology
These terms are often used interchangeably in marketing. They describe different properties, and it is worth understanding them separately before buying anything.
Definitions
Five separate concepts
A system may affect one of these without affecting the others.
pH
A measure of how acidic or basic water is. A higher pH reading does not by itself describe mineral content, filtration performance, or dissolved gas content.
Mineralization
The minerals present in the water. Minerals can be reduced by treatment and added back deliberately. This is separate from pH.
Filtration
The physical and chemical reduction of specified substances. Filtration scope is defined by the certified model and its test conditions.
Oxidation-reduction potential
An electrochemical measurement of the water. It is a measurement, not a product claim, and it varies with conditions.
Dissolved molecular hydrogen
The concentration of hydrogen gas dissolved in the water, reported in a unit such as parts per million under stated test conditions.
Why the distinction matters
Comparing systems requires comparing the same measured property under comparable conditions, from documentation rather than marketing copy.
Evidence
What we will publish for each model
Pending verification
Model-specific dissolved hydrogen and pH data
Measured values publish only with the exact model, the measurement method, and the test conditions under which they were obtained.
Pending verification
Filtration stages, consumables, and maintenance
Stage descriptions, consumable parts, cleaning routines, electrical and plumbing requirements, and warranty terms require verified documentation.

Research links
Any referenced research will link to the source and describe what was studied, rather than being summarized as a product benefit.
