As you may know, the water we can buy from the local supermarket, comes out of the tap, shower, bath, is far from optimal for our health. We use it daily to drink, wash our face, brush our teeth, make our coffee and cook our soups without paying much attention to the quality of water we are drinking, which exposes us to significant amounts of contaminants such as pesticides, arsenic, heavy metals, fluoride, chlorine, antibiotics, microplastics, hormone disrupting chemicals and more.
This is the case not just for tap water, but for most bottled water, hence the popularity in filtration systems. Old and outdated water treatment plants with rusty elongated pipe architecture further exacerbate the issue.
56% of Americans today are concerned with what comes out of their tap and almost 10% of Americans drink only tap water as their primary drinking water. 8 out of 10 Americans prefer their bottled water to be made out of plastics and approximately 64% of the bottled water sold in the United States is actually sourced from municipal tap water, based on the top 10 U.S. domestic bottled water brands.
In a nutshell, most Americans are drinking repurposed municipal tab water stored in plastic bottles leaching chemicals and microplastics into their body and our environment, while being under the assumption of drinking healthy 'mountain, volcanic, mineral spring' water. Bottled water companies are by law not required to disclose their water sources, treatment methods, or contaminant testing results. This is concerning. Additionally, bottled water undergoes treatment processes such as deoxygenation to ensure that there are no bacterial growth after bottling before consumption, which can take to 3 months and longer.
Let’s see how we will improve this in the upcoming years.
In Japan optimized
Here are the life expectancy numbers back in 1960:
Japan:
- 1960: 62.9 years (male), 66.2 years (female)
- 1965: 65.3 years (male), 70.3 years (female)
- 1969: 67.6 years (male), 73.4 years (female)
United States:
- 1960: 66.6 years (male), 73.1 years (female)
- 1965: 67.1 years (male), 74.1 years (female)
- 1969: 67.7 years (male), 75.5 years (female)
1960 the average life expectancy of a woman living in America was nearly 10 years longer than in Japan. 1969, only 9 years later, that gap narrowed significantly. Today, a woman living in America has an average life expectancy of 81 years, compared to 88 in Japan.
Our overarching vision is to make ERW water accessible to everyone. The water we drink has an immediate effect on our well-being, health, physical appearance, and daily performance. Water should be, as its intended by nature, the functional elixir powering our cellular energy production. Chemicals and other contaminants derail this process.
With our portable Bionic Hydrogen bottle and all future products, we are working towards the goal of giving you back the healing water of a glacial mountain, or a Himalaya basing river. Our Bionic bottle is the first step towards that vision, transforming any water into ROS-scavenging, hydrogen molecule, electron, and nano platinum particle enriched water with a truly alkaline pH. This water is different from just filtered or mineral infused water. It has a significantly higher oxygen and hydrogen anion content, because it is being created on the spot within 5 minutes. In nature, healing springs stabilize their hydrogen anions with silica acids, which are completely non-existing in bottled water.
The mineral variety of an electrolyte water for example, is limited to sodium, potassium, chloride, sugar, and maybe a few more (Pedialyte). Naturally mineralized sea water, or Celtic salt, have 90+ minerals, which are essential to balance and allow full absorption of all minerals involved, rendering electrolyte sport drinks basically unnecessary.
There are three essential measurements for evaluating the quality the water we drink:
- The redox potential (electron count)
- Conductivity
- pH (potentia hydrogenii)
ERW water produced by our Python Bionic Generator has an alkaline pH of up to 10pH, is hydrogen molecule-rich, and has a negative oxidation reduction potential (ORP) with (ROS)-scavenging activity mimicking naturally reduced waters (NRW), usually found only at sources such as Hita Tenryosui water in Japan, Nordenau water in Germany, Lourdes water in France, Hunza lake region in Pakistan, and high elevation glacial melt waters in Tibet and other parts of the Himalayas. All of these naturally occurring healing waters exhibit ROS-scavenging activities, enriched hydrogen content, and an electron surplus, harmonizing and nurturing our cells for optimal function.
Only cells with an electron surplus, meaning a negative mV or V potential can process nutrients to begin with. A slight variation in the negative potential can completely disable the ability of our cell to process nutrients and eventually lead to cell death.
What are the parameters of ‘activated or ‘reduced’ water:
- pH = 8-11
- Negative Potential = -400 to -800 mV (rich in electrons)
- Higher oxygenation
A negative potential is logically for reduced activated water, since electrons inherent have a negative charge e-. Further, pH has a direct effect on the surplus of oxygen available in fluids we consume:

10pH alkaline water contains significantly more oxygen than tap water, beer, Coca Cola etc. Only one pH difference means a 10-fold difference in the amount of OH- ions. Blood with the pH of 7.45 has 64.9% more oxygen atoms than blood with a pH of 7.30. Reducing acidity hence means increasing the amount of available oxygen of a fluid, gas, or solid.

Let’s take a quick look at the growth of a tomato when watered with normal tap water in comparison to redox potential reduced water (ERW) of -300 mV:

When watered with ERW water, the tomato grows faster, longer and larger, without changing any other factor. These experiments have been repeated many many times with similar results, biological systems flourish when nurtured with ERW water.
What exactly is the Python Bionic hydrogen bottle?
An ERW (Electrochemically Reduced Water) producing bottle. Here's what an The Python Bionic generator does:
1. Water Input: The bottle is filled with water.
2. Electrolysis: The water passes through the electrolysis chamber, where an electric current is applied, causing water molecules (H2O) to split into:
- Hydrogen ions (H+)
- Hydroxide ions (OH-)
Our electrolysis technology additionally removes Fluoride, Chloride, heavy metals, and other industrial chemicals, improving taste and hydration properties.
3. Reduction: At the cathode (negative electrode), hydrogen ions (H+) are reduced to form hydrogen gas (H2) and hydroxide ions (OH-):
2H+ + 2e- → H2 + 2OH-
4. Oxidation: At the anode (positive electrode), water molecules (H2O) are oxidized to form oxygen gas (O2) and hydrogen ions (H+):
2H2O → O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
5. ERW Water Output: The resulting ERW water, rich in hydroxide ions (OH-), is collected and ready for consumption.
In 1937 Albert Szent-Gyorgyi stated in his noble price acceptance speech:
“…our body really only knowns one fuel, hydrogen. The foodstuff, carbohydrate, is essentially a packet of hydrogen, a hydrogen supplier, a hydrogen donor, and the main event during its combustion is the splitting off of hydrogen. So the combustion of hydrogen is the real energy-supplying reaction; To the elucidation of reaction (6), which seems so simple, I have devoted all my energy for the last fifteen years…”
“…So the reaction 2H + O → H2O, which seems such a simple one, breaks down into a long series of separate reactions. With each new step, with each transfer between substances, the hydrogen loses some of its energy, finally combining with oxygen in its lowest-energy compound. So each hydrogen atom is gradually oxidized in a long series of reactions, and its energy re- leased in stages. This oxidation of hydrogen in stages seems to be one of the basic principles of biological oxidation. The reason for it is probably mainly that the cell would not be able to harness and transfer to other processes the large amount of energy which would be released by direct oxidation. The cell needs small change if it is to be able to pay for its functions without losing
too much in the process. So it oxidizes the H-atom by stages, converting the large banknote into small change.”
Now, i’d like to address a few misconceptions considering optimal water for human health:
Optimal water for our health is expensive
Healthcare costs and adhering diseases resulting from malnutrition are rising daily. Water is the most essential nutrient. Drinking the wrong water can be considered a chronic malnutrition today, albeit it’s often not classified as such. On a larger scale, just a 1 year extension of health span and the reduction of associated healthcare cost, bring enormous productivity gains for a society. The aging of populations has been increasing recently, and is projected to increase from 11% to 22% by 2050. The health issues of the elderly could greatly influence society and economics.
Buying a one-time-use plastic bottle which has a limitation on recyclability and ends up in landfills is not sustainable, nor environmentally conscious, never mind the associated microplastic and chemical contamination to your body. Plastic resins such as PC, PPC and even Tritan bottles are clearly shown to have estrogenic activity, especially when exposed to UV sunlight radiation, leaching hormone like substances into the water and disrupting your internal hormonal environment and protein folding ability. That is the case for BPA-free products, or ‘food grade’ plastics, and even for baby water bottles made from Tritan. Only a very small fraction of plastic resins show no EA activity when stressed with UV exposure.
Filtered water is optimal for our health
A (RO) reverse osmosis system will remove chemical contaminants, metal ions, aqueous salts, including sodium, chloride, copper, chromium, and lead, but may only reduce arsenic, fluoride, radium, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, nitrate, and phosphorous, of which some are important for us. Newly developed RO systems are better at getting bad stuff out, but they also remove essentials such as magnesium and calcium. Martin Fox wrote a great book about the importance of these minerals in water: Healthy Water for a Longer life.
Current filtration systems are subpar and do not offer filtration for the whole spectrum of contaminants. Most importantly, they also remove ions out of water which are necessary for our health, nor can a RO system offer reduced redox potential, electron donation, or hydrogen enrichment through water splitting. Filtration is primarily about getting contaminants out, this is not what makes water healthy to begin with.
Tab water is ok
There is a reason more than 50% of Americans are concerned about what comes out of their tab. The government does have strict guidelines for water preparation facilities, which are often never met, especially in the US. For instance, in places like Flint, Michigan, and Newark, New Jersey, authorities found unsafe levels of lead in public drinking water. Additionally, Wilmington, North Carolina, faced high levels of lab-made chemicals called PFAS in their water supply1. These “forever chemicals” can pose health risks, including cancer, liver damage, and infertility. Imagine showering every morning with that water. Contaminants detected in public drinking water supplies have been linked to various health issues, including cancer, thyroid conditions, and reproductive problems. They can also affect your hair, skin, and nails, the list goes on and on and based on our short analysis at the beginning of this letter, most of us are consuming tap water or repurposed, relabeled, and re-marketed tap water and are in constant contact with tab water through showers, baths etc. which poses a consistent exposure to these contaminants. The argument that tab water is much cheaper seems not to have a logical basis when considering the damage it does to our health, extrapolated into a few decades and the health related costs will heavily outweigh the falsely perceived savings using tab water alone.
Water scarcity
About 1500L of water is flowing daily through our brain and organs and a mere 5% decline in hydration comes with severe performance degradations, immune system decline and cognitive impairments. On a global scale, dehydration could be a major limiting factor for product output in developing countries. A dehydrated, malnourished and under energized mind and body can’t function optimally, not to mention, the adherent increase in healthcare, socioeconomic cost, and political tension.
There is a lot of miss conception about this topic, even among people who are intimately involved within the water sector. I got a clear picture of this issue visiting the 2024 World Water Forum in Bali, Indonesia.
Water is available in abundance on our earth and current technological progress in reverse osmosis desalination and its energy efficiency paint an image of optimism for our water future. Saudi Arabia for example is planning to provide most of its water needs in the upcoming future through reverse osmosis desalination plants, which are a logical steep for one of the world's most arid and water-scarce nations without permanent water resources. It is not necessarily a water scarcity issue, but an energy efficiency and transportation question. Saudi Arabia is expected to be severely water stressed by 2025, that's in a few months, and making water drinkable in such a region, will be an important effort. Because of improved desalination efficiency and the reduced cost of electricity, reverse osmosis desalination is expected to be a source of near unlimited drinkable water in the future. From the point of electricity cost, one solar panel today can produce around 1.5 kWh of electricity. A 200km by 200km solar panel array in the desert would be able to cover the energy demand of the entire United States. Energy demand and transportation will be the only factors and both can be solved readily.
