Fill the clear chamber, twist it down onto the base and press the button once. For the next five or ten minutes a current runs through a pair of plates under the floor of the chamber, and hydrogen goes into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo cartridge. No filter to replace. Nothing to reorder, ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can watch the whole cycle happen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chamber is clear polycarbonate and there is nothing inside it but water, so a ten minute cycle is something you stand and watch rather than something you take on trust. Bubbles lift off the disc in the floor in a fine column and climb the whole 5.4 inches of the tube. The water goes cloudy with them after a minute or so, and it is still going when the countdown reaches zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of this category is a sealed steel flask with every working part hidden inside it. You press a button, a light comes on somewhere, and that light is the only evidence you are ever given.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere the cheap ones cut the corner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSplit water with a current and you get hydrogen coming off one plate and oxygen coming off the other. The inexpensive way to build one of these is to leave both plates in the same chamber, which puts everything that comes off both of them straight back into the water you are about to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one runs a membrane between the two sides. The hydrogen dissolves into the water above it and the oxygen goes the other way, out through the base, and the plates themselves are platinum coated. That membrane is the single biggest difference between a bottle at this price and a bottle at a fifth of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA countdown, not a guess\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe screen is an OLED panel set into the front of the base, white on black, and it is why this one is easy to live with. It carries a concentration reading, the battery, and a countdown for whichever cycle you started. A ten minute run reads 09:59 and works its way down to zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo cycle lengths, one button. Five minutes for a glass in the morning, ten when you have the time. The battery is 1800 mAh and fills from a USB-C cable in about three and a half hours, which is one evening plugged in behind the kettle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt makes hydrogen water and it does not do anything else\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth being straight about what this is. It is not a filter. It does not purify water, it does not soften it and it takes nothing out, so whatever you pour in is what you drink and it wants water you would happily drink already. Anything from 34 to 131 F goes in. Nothing boiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upkeep is one job every two to four weeks, and it is a rinse through with citric acid, more often if you live somewhere hard. Leave a little water in the chamber between uses so the membrane stays damp. That is the whole of the upkeep, and for the ten minutes it runs you can see exactly what it is doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity: 280 ml (9.5 fl oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 9.1 x 2.4 in (23 x 6 cm), height x diameter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChamber: Clear polycarbonate, single wall, BPA-free\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCap and base: Aluminum alloy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectrode plates: Platinum coated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMembrane: An ion exchange membrane between the two electrode sides, of the solid polymer electrolyte type (SPE, also written PEM), so the hydrogen and the oxygen are kept apart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrogen concentration: Over 1600 ppb after a five minute cycle, over 3000 ppb after a ten minute cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCycles: Two, five minutes and ten minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay: OLED, white on black, showing a concentration reading, a countdown and the battery level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls: One touch button, below the screen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery: 1800 mAh, rechargeable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharging: USB-C, 5 V and 2 A, about 3.5 hours to full\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower: 5 W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater temperature: 1 to 55 C (34 to 131 F)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks with: Tap, mineral, purified and distilled water\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly: The chamber screws down into the base, and the mouth of the chamber takes a screw-in inner lid under the cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst use: Fill to nine tenths, run one ten minute cycle, then leave it closed for 8 to 10 hours before the first drink, so the membrane wets through\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpkeep: Rinse through with citric acid every two to four weeks, more often on hard water.
