Measure the Concentration of Dissolved Hydrogen Gas in Parts Per Million (ppm – mg/L) and demonstrate the Presence of Hydrogen Gas (H2, Antioxidants) in Hydrogen Water!
Accurately test H2 waters in pH range of 4-11 (recommended for use in 6-9.5 pH range) Recommended for Testing H2 Drinking Water.
This is a great test reagent to determine the quality and efficacy of your water filter.
Please check out the Technical Details Tab for more information on how to effectively test the Hydrogen content of your water filter device.
We can think of 1PPM as “1 part of a substance (solute) dissolved in 1 million parts of water” (in our case the solute is hydrogen gas). So, what is a “part”? “Part” represents our unit of measure, the milligram (mg). Therefore, 1 milligram of H2 (1 part) dissolved in 1 million milligrams of water is “one part per million”. And, because 1 liter of water weighs 1 million milligrams, the mg/L unit of measure can be equated to the PPM (for dilute concentrations).
* Whether or not the container can maintain pressure – pressure helps H2 dissolve better.
Recently, a new type of hydrogen water device, the hydrogen infusion machine (HIM), has emerged, which produces hydrogen gas in a separate chamber using a proton-exchange membrane (PEM), and then mixes the H2 gas into the drinking water stream using a dissolver. Because of their design, HIM’s do not alter the pH of the hydrogen drinking water like conventional alkaline water ionizers.
“How much H2 do I need to ingest everyday”?
Scientists are asking the same question, and the answer is currently under investigation. What we do know is that human studies show significant health benefits when participants consume hydrogen water with concentrations in the 1-3mg/L range. This gives us a “target” dosage of approximately 2mg/day. Therefore, if your water has a concentration of 1PPM (1mg/L), then by consuming two liters per day, you will ingest 2mg of H2 per day. Based upon the H2 concentration of your water, you can use Table 3 below to calculate the daily volume of water required to provide 2mg of H2.
