  1. Clinical studies have demonstrated that drinking hydrogen-rich water enhances antioxidant capacity, thereby protecting the mitochondria and aiding in the improvement of mitochondrial disorders.
  2. Hydrogen-rich water has proven to be effective in improving antioxidant levels, thus, serving as a preventative strategy for Metabolic Syndrome, and it has also shown to reduce insulin resistance in Diabetes & Pre-diabetic patients.
  3. A study showed that patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disease, experienced remission after drinking .5 L/day of hydrogen water for 4 weeks.
  4. During a study involving young athletes, the consumption of Hydrogen Rich Water reduced lactic acid build-up during vigorous exercise and decreased muscular fatigue.
  5. In another study involving healthy physically active males, a daily intake of hydrogen-rich water for 14 days raised the pH of the blood before and after exercise with no adverse side effects reported at 2000ml/ day.
  6. The ability of molecular hydrogen to protect nuclear DNA and the mitochondria from oxidative damage could potentially have beneficial effects on chronic diseases like cancer and the ageing process.

These studies and several others have provided evidence of the potential benefits of hydrogen-rich water.

Facts About Fluoride and Reverse Osmosis

Regardless of your opinion on fluoridation of Australian Tap Water, it's an adopted practice in most Australian municipalities due to its dental health benefits. However, excessive fluoride exposure can result in dental fluorosis, a condition characterised by discolorations and small white spots on the teeth.

A noteworthy fact is that Fluoride isn't the only compound capable of re-mineralizing your teeth. A popular Japanese toothpaste brand (Apagard Toothpaste by Sangi Co.) contains a calcium phosphate mineral compound, Nanohydroxyapatite (Nano-HA or nHAP), known to penetrate deeper than fluoride to strengthen and whiten teeth effectively.

Re-mineralizing & Alkalising in Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration is used to eliminate fluoride from your drinking water. It's also effective in removing heavy metals and salts due to the use of a 0.0001 Micron reverse osmosis membrane.

The RO technology, risk-assessed by WHO, has been used to supply water in regions with scarce fresh water, including the Middle East, and Australia's seven desalination plants. RO technology filters down to 0.0001 microns, removing almost all dissolved metals, minerals, and salts, resulting in extremely pure water.

Nutritional Perspective on RO and Mineral Removal

Even though RO removes minerals and the post-filter remineralizes the water, the reality is that we get more mineral nutrition from eating organic minerals in meats, fruits, and vegetables than we do from drinking water.

For more about nutrition and minerals, refer to this link.

Maintenance Schedule for Reverse Osmosis Water Filters

To ensure optimum filtration, consistent filter maintenance is crucial. The RO membrane requires protection and extension of life, which is achieved by changing the pre-filters every six months.

RO membranes provide an ultra-fine level of filtration down to 0.0001 of a micron, but over time they clog. Their longevity relies on consistent pre-filter maintenance and the starting quality of your water.

The post-filters buffer the pH from an acidic state to an alkaline state and perfect the water for final consumption. Over time, the diffusion of alkalising minerals into the water will significantly diminish, and the carbon post-filter will exhaust its capacity to adsorb residuals.

In conclusion, the WaterMark Certified RO systems provide effective water purification adhering to Australian standards. Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of the system.

Ensuring Optimal Performance of Reverse Osmosis Systems With Bore and Rain Water

Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems work best with chlorinated water, typically found in mains or town water supplies. Chlorine effectively eliminates bacteria, fungi, and yeast, enhancing the functionality of these systems. Consequently, it is strongly advised to routinely disinfect rainwater, tank water, and potable bore water sources before using an RO filter system. Failure to do so can result in biofouling of the RO membrane, leading to the growth of bacteria or fungi colonies which can render the system ineffective.

Safeguarding Against Bacteria, Fungi, and Yeast in Bore/Rain Water

Bacteria such as E.Coli can flourish in stagnant water, posing a risk of illness when consumed. To safeguard against water-borne bacteria and viruses in rainwater and potable bore water, we recommend treating your water with a suitable product like Hydrosil Ultra 7.5% Water Sanitiser. This can help prevent microbiological contamination or biofouling in your pipework and filter system.

HydroSil is a food-grade, silver-activated, hydrogen-peroxide based water sanitiser. It oxidises bacteria, yeast, fungi, and viruses without leaving any harmful residues. Unlike many sterilisers, HydroSil is not chlorine-based. It sanitises and protects your tanks and water storage devices, ensuring rainwater and potable bore water are safe for consumption. HydroSil is non-toxic and safe for household use.

The recommended dosage rate for HydroSil is 200mL per 1000L of water. In terms of tank size, you will require 20mL per 100L.

Understanding Rainwater

Despite being the world's driest inhabited continent, an astonishing 10% of Australians lack access to a mains water supply. Consequently, rainwater and bore storage tanks are popular in rural areas for saving water during droughts and for year-round household use. However, drinking untreated water is a dangerous practice.

Despite the general perception that rainwater is pure, clean, and safe, the fact is that its microbial and chemical quality often falls short of regular urban tap water. Particularly for those living near heavy industries or areas with heavy traffic emissions, rainwater quality can be significantly compromised.

Bore Water Basics

Like rainwater, bore water also requires filtration. Despite seeming "naturally purified", bore water is susceptible to contamination from various sources, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, sewage, chemicals, fertilisers, pesticides, minerals, heavy metals, and even radioactive elements.

While a 5 Micron Carbon Filtration system combined with UV Sterilisation can ensure 99.9% eradication of all parasites, bacteria, and viruses, it might not always completely address the complex chemistry of bore water. We strongly recommend having your bore water tested to understand its chemistry before attempting to filter it.
