The Hydron- Hydrogenated Water 0

Hydrogen water is very simply pure, filtered water with the addition of extra hydrogen molecules. Hydrogen is the lightest of all the elements and is the most abundant in our universe. The Hydron is our ingenious appliance which produces hydrogen-enriched water, full of antioxidants- designed to help contribute towards a healthier lifestyle. 

Hydrogen-enriched water can help counteract damage caused by free radicals. 

What are free radicals? 

Free radicals are unstable atoms that can cause damage to your body such as; damage to the immune system, premature ageing, inflammatory conditions and DNA damage (genetic). 

Electrons like to be in pars, so after oxygen has been split into single atoms in the body, free radicals are generated. These free radicals search the body for other electrons to pair with which results in the damage to the cells, proteins and DNA. Hydrogen rich water can stop oxidation from causing damage to the cells in your body- and can also repair cells which have been damaged by oxidation- preventing them from turning into free radicals. 

Why do they occur? 

• UV radiation and Ionising radiation
• Inflammation
• Atmospheric pollution 
• Smoking

Numerous studies have discovered that consuming hydrogenated water can help improve more than 175 conditions including: 

• Wrinkles
• Cystitis
• Recovery from smoke inhalation 
• Gastric ulcer
• Ulcerative colitis
• Erectile dysfunction
• Osteoporosis
• Muscle fatigue 
• Metabolic acidosis
• Asthma
• Neonatal hypoxia
• Carbon monoxide poisoning 
• Sperm mobility
• Fibromyalgia

Hydrogen water is safe for drinking- the more you drink the better. The antioxidant power of drinking 1.5L of hydrogenated water is equivalent to consuming: 

Everything you need to know about the Hydron:

What are the beneficial effects from drinking hydrogen-rich water?
It acts as an antioxidant by counteracting the effects from free radicals.
How much water should we drink every day?
Healthy people should drink within 1 to 3 litres per day. It is recommended to drink it on an empty stomach and between meals.
Is it suitable for cooking?
It can be used without any problem, but when heated it quickly loses the hydrogen and all its antioxidant effects, therefore it is not recommended.
Can we consume hydrogen in excess?
Hydrogen evaporates over time and is expelled through the airway.
Can I use Hydron to hydrogenate any water?
No, it must be of a very low mineralisation or come from a reverse osmosis.
Can I use Hydron to hydrogenate milk, juices or other liquids?
No, the equipment would break down.
Can I hydrogenate cold water?
Yes, it actually improves hydrogen solubility
Can I store hydrogenated water in the fridge?
Yes, inside a stainless steel thermos flask, by filling all the available volume and without leaving any air chamber inside. Do not use any other type of containers, since hydrogen would get lost.
Does hydrogenated water taste different?
No, the taste and the odour remain the same.
Is Hydron a water purifier?
No, therefore we must use water suitable for human consumption with a very low mineralisation.
How long does it take for hydrogen to evaporate from hydrogenated water?
Within 1 and 2 hours in an open container. If stored in the fridge, inside a stainless thermos flask without any air chamber, it will last for several days.
Is there any contraindication to its consumption?
There is no contraindication to the consumption of hydrogenated water.
Can hydrogen replace other antioxidants?
It is recommended to supplement the antioxidant effects of hydrogen with a balanced diet.
Is hydrogen safe?
It is considered a food additive in the EU and it has been approved by the FDA. Our organism produces hydrogen from fibre in the intestine and, since 1945, it has been used in high concentrations without any problems for professional diving.
When were its benefits discovered for the first time?
Some records from 1798 have proved its anti-inflammatory effects.

Can You Drink Softened Water? 0

Can You Drink Softened Water?  

Many people think that you can't drink softened water but that is incorrect. Softened water does not contain unhealthy amounts of sodium and is perfectly safe to drink. Your decision to drink softened water should be based completely on whether or not you enjoy the taste of it. 

Softened Water

Our water softeners work by removing the minerals such as calcium and magnesium from the water through ion exchange. This water softening process replaces the minerals present in the water with a small amount of sodium in the ion-exchange. The level of sodium, also known as salt, present in the water is based on where you are located in the UK and how hard your water is. Areas which have harder water will have more sodium present in the water because it needs more salt to soften the water. This illustrates the importance in us testing your water because we can advise you on your options- if your water supply once softened will exceed 200mg/l sodium- it is essential to provide you with a hard water supply. 

Softened water is completely safe to drink and does not contain unhealthy levels of sodium. The average amount of sodium found in a 250ml glass of softened water contributes to 1% of your daily sodium intake (Recommended daily intake by the NHS (2015) is 2,400mg of sodium).

Drinking Softened Water

Information provided by the WRAS and NHS recommends that the sodium limit should not be exceeded when preparing formula for babies because their kidneys are not fully developed yet to process the increase in salt. Their formula and food are made with the correct sodium levels and any additional sodium can alter this balance and can cause dehydration. It is also recommended that individuals who are on a prescribed low-sodium diet should not drink softened water due to the increased sodium levels. 

We understand that not everybody will want to or will enjoy drinking softened water and that is perfectly fine- we have some solutions. We can give you an untreated feed to your kitchen or utility sink so you can still enjoy the taste of hard water. Or, you can purchase a drinking water system with your softener and get a filtered supply to drink. We have a huge range of drinking water systems, if you would like to look a look, click HERE. 

-If you are ever concerned about something, we urge you to get into contact with us as we are trained professionals and can provide you with information to help you.

How To Bypass Your Water Softener 

If you are ever confused about whether it is open or closed, just take a look at the valves. If the handle is in line with the valve, it is open and if the handle is across the valve, it is closed. 

The handles may be stiff, that's perfectly normal and they should only twist 90° in one direction. 

Each install varies, so the setup of yours might differ slightly from the diagrams. If you are ever confused, just speak to member of staff who will be happy to guide you through it.
