Hydrogen Water
Hydrogen, the smallest and the most prevalent element in the universe, is the building block of life itself.
Now, using patented PEM technology, we’ve harnessed this life giving power by infusing H2 – molecular hydrogen – in the water you drink.
In 2007 a research team headed by Professor Ota Shigeo, Japan published a paper in Nature Medicine, a world-renowned and prestigious scientific journal, regarding the “effective removal of active oxygen (antioxidants) by hydrogen”.
This was the first published paper in the West. Over 1700 scientific studies have followed – covering a vast array of health conditions. We invite you to study the science.
Here at AlkaWay we waited six years before a PEM system that met our criteria appeared. We’ve seen new technologies selling untested products to the market. We’ve tested HiGen 1+, talked to the designers, and are satisfied that we have a system we can stand behind.
Water Ionizer vs Hydrogen Generator
Technology | Water Ionizer | Water Electrolyzer |
|---|---|---|
| What is it | This is the process where water molecules (H2O) are broken down into ions (H⁺ ions (protons) and OH⁻ ions (hydroxide ions) | This is the process where water molecules (H2O) are broken down into ions (H⁺ ions (protons) and OH⁻ ions (hydroxide ions) |
| Definition | Ionization is a chemical process in which atoms or molecules get a positive or negative charge. | Electrolysis operates by passing an electric current through water, which triggers a chemical reaction that results in the separation of hydrogen and oxygen gases. |
| Purpose | You end up with H⁺ ions (protons) and OH⁻ ions (hydroxide ions).
This is what happens when we talk about the pH of water; the concentration of these ions determines whether water is acidic, neutral, or basic. | You end up with (H2) (hydrogen) and oxygen or/and ozone (O2 or and O2) Water Electrolysis involves using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases, which are its elemental components. |
| Differences | Ionization is about the charge balance within the water. | Electrolysis is about extracting the elements that make up water. |
| Usage | Ionizers focus on changing water properties like pH and oxidation potential. | Electrolysers focus on high hydrogen purity production (99.99%) as well as oxidation potential and producing oxygen/ozone gas or oxidants for sanitization. |

Ozone Water
Imagine how you can benefit from ozone water on tap!
Ozonated water, also dispensed by the HiGen 1+, is used to launder clothes and to sanitize food, drinking water, and surfaces in the home.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is “amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of ozone in gaseous and aqueous phases as an antimicrobial agent on food, including meat and poultry.”
Studies at California Polytechnic University demonstrated that 0.3 μmol/mol levels of ozone dissolved in filtered tapwater can produce a reduction of more than 99.99% in food-borne microorganisms such as salmonella, E. coli 0157:H7 and Campylobacter. This quantity is 20,000 times the WHO-recommended limits stated above.[133][159] Ozone can be used to remove pesticide residues from fruits and vegetables.[160][161]
Ozone oxidization reacts with the cell walls of bacteria and viruses the same way hydrogen peroxide and iodine do, causing cell poration of the microbe, which leads to its death.
Ozone oxidation also removes electrons of molecules, rendering them inert. In this way, O3 kills the bacteria that cause odours, viruses that cause illness, as well as breaks down biomatter on surfaces that provide the food for microbes.

Negative ORP Water
Negative ORP water has a high Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP). ORP indicates the water’s relative state to receive or donate electrons.
In layman’s language, it potentially donates energy to us, particularly in donating electrons to ‘hungry’ free radicals, and thus effectively neutralising them.
HiGen1+ water has this high antioxidant potential, or negative ORP.

Why you're going to LOVE HiGen 1+
Hydrogen Water - Studies indicate natural selective antioxidant support
Hydrogen water has been studied and reported to help support our body's natural antioxidant (Glutathione) production. Hydrogen has the potential to be much more effective than other antioxidant products. This appears to be due to its ability to ignore beneficial radicals and selectively eliminate harmful hydroxyl radicals. Hydroxyl radicals have the potential to cause disease and aging. When H2 meets hydroxyl radical, the result is pure water.
Hydrogen Water - as an anti-inflammatory
Independent Studies indicate that hydrogen may actually enhance our body's natural anti-inflammation cycle. Studies have shown that hydrogen can greatly reduce post-workout stress. Maybe that's why people report less pain and more gain!
Hydrogen Water - for cell signalling
May aid in cell signalling. Our body sends millions of signals to our organs, cells, muscles, etc. every second. Studies indicate that hydrogen can support the performance of our body's cell signalling system and supports a healthier body. Perhaps that's why you may experience random blasts of togetherness, vitality and alertness!
Clean purified water
Removing the residual chemicals in your drinking water makes it taste great and more palatable... and of course, it's the basis of future health. Latest EPA publications indicate some 600+ new contaminants in our municipal water supply. HiGen +1 purified water setting helps remove these contaminants and more - and yes, also dispenses water you're going to really, really want to drink!
Ozone water
Ozone water is excellent for cleaning and revitalizing fruits and vegetables. Deep cleaning ozone water ensures your greens and kitchen benches are ultimately clean and free of bacteria. An essential component of today's home safety strategy.

Ozone Water Faq
In simple terms, Ozone water is regular water that goes through a treatment process that converts H2O into Ozone – sanitize water – which becomes a powerful cleaning agent for about four hours. It has been compared to cleaning as effectively as conventional cleaning chemicals.
Ozone is considered a powerful oxidizing agent that, when dissolved in water, produces a broad spectrum biocide that has the potential to destroy all bacteria, viruses and cysts. Ozone water treatment has been used commercially for the treatment of potable water since 1904.
When stabilized, the aqueous ozone has the potential to kill up to 99.999% of all harmful bacteria, which is even more effective than bleach. It is also completely free from toxic chemicals so is 100% safe for people and the planet – approved by leading governing bodies including FDA and Health Canada.
In general, Ozone is an unstable oxygen molecule (O3) that reacts to anything it bumps into. Because ozone can react with and break down anything it comes in contact with, it makes this chemical very effective for removing odours and killing mold and mildew. … It just smells nicer.
Here are some of the ways the smell of ozone is described:
Like a burning wire. Like chlorine. A “clean” smell. Sweet and pungent.
Ozone kills bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Listeria, and other food pathogens much faster than traditionally used disinfectants, such as chlorine, and is free of chemical residues (Langlais et al., 1991; Sapers, 1998)
Stick to cold water and give each fruit or veggie a thorough rinse for at least 30 seconds before consumption, even if you’re planning to peel it and/or cook it. Avoid hot water, which can provide a pathway for microorganisms to get inside the item. DON’T forget to be thorough
Ozone is a powerful and instant acting oxidizer that easily oxidizes all bacteria, pesticides, chemicals and viruses. Just washing vegetables, fruits, as well as meat with plain water, doesn’t remove the pesticides and other harmful contaminants from the outer surface.
