Piurify Hydrogen Water Pitcher Review
A great example of good marketing and effort to build a brand with a poor product choice.
From the number of reviews this company managed to accumulate in just one year to its online presence, we have to admit that they have made a great effort.
But this is where the positive feedback ends.
The company is either clueless about their product, or they are masters of false and misleading advertising. You decide which one is worse.
Let’s look at the claims that make this product stand out:
- Large Capacity:
It targets an audience looking for a hydrogen water generator at home with large capacity. Unfortunately, this is not desirable, as more water simply means less hydrogen. Most people not familiar with the technology will not know that hydrogen is very unstable (escaping the water in minutes), making it nonsensical to produce large quantities. If you can’t drink it immediately, the hydrogen will escape, and you have to generate it again. Hydrogen water should be regarded as a supplement rather than a water alternative.
Conclusion: No benefit in the large container product feature. - SPE/PEM Technology:
PEM (proton exchange membranes) only makes sense if there is an exhaust for the oxygen, which this device lacks. This immediately indicates that the claim is false. Upon opening the device, we found the oldest possible technology with very low-quality Titanium electrodes. These electrodes were not platinum-plated, understandably due to their size and the associated cost. The issue with Titanium is that it’s a heavy metal and will leach into the water during the electrolysis process. It’s disappointing if the company never disassembled their own product and blindly believed their supplier’s claims. It’s worse if they did but chose to deceive their customers.
Conclusion: False claim or uninformed company.
- Magnetic Water?
Another marketing gimmick employed by the company is to label a simple water vortex as something more esoteric. There is nothing magnetic or beneficial in a water vortex in a hydrogen water pitcher. A water vortex aerates the water (dissolving air), which decreases the ability to dissolve hydrogen gas. They present it as a process that prolongs hydrogen retention in the water, which is illogical and untrue.
Conclusion: The vortex, especially with changing lights, is visually appealing, but is it worth $300? That’s for you to decide. - BPA Plastics!
While the jug itself is made from Tritan, the impeller and filter are not BPA-free. - Filters:
These filters can be perfect breeding grounds for bacteria and are impossible to clean. Their only purpose seems to be concealing the fact that 1st generation hydrogen water generators like this one produce Chlorine and Chloramines. - Design and Size:
While the effort to create a cool design is appreciated, this pitcher takes up too much space in the kitchen. The power adapter and cable are very inconvenient. The cap is of an “impossible to open” design, especially with wet hands, and the pitcher doesn’t sit stably on the base, making it easily knocked over when not full.
- Balanced pH:
If you’re unsure what this means, you’re not alone. It’s simply a way for companies to target high-search-volume keywords by including them in the product description. Molecular hydrogen doesn’t change the pH of the water, nor does the Calcium Sulfite filter.

FALSE CLAIMS IN RED
SUBJECTIVE CLAIMS IN ORANGE
- -HYDROGEN WATER BENEFITS – improve your metabolism, reducing fatigue and boost vitality are just some of the benefits of drinking hydrogenated water.
- -HIGH WATER QUALITY – Through electrolysis the water is enriched with hydrogen molecules, becoming a natural antioxidant. Other than infusing the hydrogen in the water, it also helps with the expelling of harmful elements. Ozone, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Chlorine are expelled from the water, leaving it safe and secure to consume.
- –RICH AND HIGH CAPACITY – The BPA-Free transparent jug has a capacity of 50oz (1.5l) and the hydrogen content will be above 1300ppb – The optimal concentration for maximum benefits.
- – MAGNETIC WATER function – Innovative Vortex Technology which aerates the water and causes: balanced oxygen and pH level, and help retains hydrogen in the drinking water for up to 3x times longer.
- -LIFETIME GUARANTEE – Risk Free Purchase – we offer a replacement or a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
PURE HYDROGEN
SPE/PEM Technology – Expels byproducts such as Ozone

OUR TEST:
Our examination exposed the inaccuracy of numerous assertions regarding this product. It turns out to be a first-generation device featuring Titanium electrodes instead of Platinum Plated ones, and it lacks SPE/PEM technology. Consequently, it generates minimal hydrogen while producing chlorine instead, and it also releases titanium into the water, constituting a heavy metal leakage.
No SPE/PEM!
NO MEMBRANE BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES
TITANIUM ELECTRODES
Given the considerable size of its electrodes, the manufacturer decided to forego the necessary platinum coating, a decision likely aimed at avoiding the substantial increase in costs. Below, you can observe a comparative illustration: on the left are the Piurify titanium electrodes, and on the right, the electrodes plated with platinum (for color comparison)
Since there is no Proton Exchange Membrane, as expected, this generator produces Chlorine and other byproducts!
THE CAP IS VERY HARD TO OPEN, ESPECIALLY WITH WET HANDS
In summary, despite the device’s impressive appearance, it falls short in delivering the key features expected from an efficient hydrogen water generator. Its pricing is not in line with its capabilities, notably due to the absence of a proton exchange membrane and the use of titanium electrodes, which could pose health risks. Additionally, its large size is inconvenient, its design lacks stability and user-friendliness, and the misleading promotional assertions raise doubts about the brand’s trustworthiness.
