TLDR
We publish 10,000 PPB (10 ppm) peak dissolved hydrogen, measured on the device itself, a number you can check yourself with a standalone hydrogen water meter. For Nixcer Pro, ask how their number was generated before you take it at face value. Here's what "certified" should actually mean when you're comparing hydrogen bottles.
What should "certified" actually mean?
"Certified" gets used loosely in this category. It shows up on packaging next to a big ppb number and does most of the selling by itself. Before you let the word carry that weight, it should point to something specific.
A real spec is something you could hand to a skeptical friend and have them check for themselves. If a claim only works because you trust the brand's word, it is not a certification, it is a slogan.
If a claim only works because you trust the brand's word, it isn't a certification. It's a slogan.
- A stated measurement method (on-device sensor, or an outside lab test)
- A number you can reproduce with your own hydrogen meter
- Materials named specifically, not "food grade" with no further detail
- A warranty and support contact that exists before you need it, not after

How to read a spec sheet without getting fooled
Watch for rounded numbers with no methodology attached, stock photos instead of the actual unit, and reviews that all read like they were written the same week.
Another sign worth checking: does the listing explain what the bottle is made of by name, or does it lean entirely on the ppb figure and hope you do not ask about anything else.
You can verify any bottle yourself
You do not have to take any brand's word for it, including ours. A dissolved hydrogen meter is inexpensive, and it turns a marketing claim into a number you measured yourself.
- Buy a standalone dissolved hydrogen meter
- Run a full cycle in the bottle you are testing
- Dip the meter's electrode and read the number directly
- Compare that reading against the number on the listing
Do this with any bottle you are seriously considering, not just the one you already lean toward. A few minutes of testing is worth more than a page of marketing copy.
Who backs the bottle if something goes wrong?
We are USA-based, we have shipped more than 12,000 bottles, and every unit ships with a 30-day risk-free trial. If something is wrong with a unit, you are talking to a real support team, not a ticket queue that goes quiet.
Ask any brand you are comparing us to for the same three things in writing: where they are based, how long the return window runs, and what happens if the unit underperforms its stated spec.
FAQ
Is the Hydrator Max third-party lab tested?
Our published peak figure is measured on-device, and it is a number you can independently verify with your own standalone hydrogen meter after a cycle.
Is Nixcer Pro's 10,000 ppb claim accurate?
We cannot speak to another brand's testing process. Ask them directly how the number was measured, and verify it yourself with a meter if you want certainty.
What is the difference between PPM and PPB?
1 ppm equals 1,000 ppb. Our peak figure of 10,000 PPB is the same as 10 ppm, we just publish the more precise unit.
What water works in the Hydrator Max?
RO, distilled, or filtered water. Do not electrolyze water with added salts or powders, mix those in after the cycle.
