How long does a hydrogen water bottle last?

March 24, 2024 John Sparks

Molecular hydrogen-infused water has gained popularity for its potential health benefits, ranging from antioxidant properties to reduced inflammation. Like any device, these generators have a finite lifespan. Let's delve into the critical components that determine their longevity.

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)

The core of a hydrogen water bottle is the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM). This specialized membrane is responsible for separating hydrogen gas from water molecules during the electrolysis process.

Ocemida's PEMs have an impressive lifespan of approximately 200 hours of active use.

Uses and Charges

Uses per Day: Assuming an average cycle time of 5 minutes per use, 200 hours translates to roughly 2400 uses. If you use your hydrogen water generator 3 times daily, you can expect it to last approximately 800 days (over 2 years).
Battery Charges: Ocemida generators typically last for numerous cycles on a single charge. However, the exact number of cycles per charge depends on the specific model and usage patterns.

The Battery Factor

Ocemida hydrogen water bottles feature built-in, non-replaceable batteries. While this may seem like a limitation, the battery's lifespan aligns closely with the PEM's lifespan. This means that by the time the PEM needs replacing, the battery will also be nearing the end of its useful life. This design approach minimizes the need for complex battery replacements.

Maximizing Your Generator's Lifespan

For your hydrogen water bottle to function at its best, adhere to the following advice:

Use Purified Water: Tap water impurities can shorten the lifespan of the PEM. Use distilled or filtered water
Regular Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning and maintenance.
Proper Storage: Store your generator in a cool, dry place when not in use with the membrane plug always on.
Charging: Unglug the device when charged and never use a speed charger. First, disconnect from the wall, and then from the generator.

In Conclusion

Ocemida hydrogen water generators offer a convenient and potentially cost-effective way to enjoy the benefits of hydrogen-rich water. With proper care, you can expect your hydrogen generator to last for a few years.
