Sự khác nhau giữa máy lọc Hydrogen và RO

In modern times, choosing the right water filtration system for your family has become an important decision that directly affects the health of every member. HAKAWA, as a pioneer brand in the field of health care home appliances, understands the concerns of consumers when faced with two different technology options: hydrogen purifier and RO purifier. The difference between hydrogen purifier and RO purifier is not only in the operating principle but also clearly shown through the efficiency of use, nutritional value and impact on the health of users. Understanding these differences will help you make the right decision for your family's needs.

Basic Operating Principles of Two Technologies

Hydrogen water purifiers operate based on advanced electrolysis technology, using direct current to separate water molecules into H+ and OH- ions. This electrolysis process takes place in a chamber containing Platinum-coated Titanium electrode plates, creating hydrogen-rich water dissolved at concentrations from 0.5 to 1.6 ppm. Electrolysis technology not only purifies water but also creates special biological properties, turning regular water into alkaline ionized water with strong antioxidant properties.

In contrast, the RO (Reverse Osmosis) filter uses the principle of reverse osmosis through an ultra-fine filter membrane with a pore size of 0.0001 microns. High pressure forces water molecules to pass through the RO membrane while retaining most impurities, bacteria, viruses and even beneficial minerals. The RO system usually includes multiple levels of filtration from coarse to fine, ensuring maximum removal of contaminants in the source water

Output Water Quality and Nutritional Value

The biggest difference between hydrogen and RO purifiers lies in the quality of the output water. Hydrogen purifiers produce alkaline ionized water with a pH of 8.5 to 9.5, rich in dissolved hydrogen and beneficial minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium in easily absorbed ionized form. Hydrogen water has a negative ORP index of -200 to -400mV, demonstrating strong antioxidant capacity and the ability to provide electrons to neutralize free radicals.

RO water purifiers produce highly purified water, removing 95-99% of contaminants including bacteria, viruses and heavy metals. However, the RO filtration process also completely removes beneficial minerals, creating water with an acidic pH of 5.5 to 6.5. RO water is "mineral hungry", and can absorb minerals from the body when used for a long time without mineral supplementation.

Health Impact and Practical Applications

Hydrogen water purifiers provide many health benefits that have been scientifically proven. Dissolved hydrogen acts as a natural antioxidant, helping to reduce oxidative stress, prevent cell aging and support ATP energy regeneration. Alkaline ionized water helps balance the body's pH, neutralize excess acid and improve nutrient absorption. In particular, hydrogen water also helps improve digestive function, strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation.

RO water purifiers are suitable for areas with heavily polluted water sources, containing heavy metals or harmful bacteria. RO water is absolutely safe in terms of microbiology but requires mineral supplementation through diet or mineral tablets. Long-term use of RO water without mineral supplementation can lead to essential mineral deficiencies.

Operating and Maintenance Costs

Economically, hydrogen purifiers have higher initial investment costs but low operating costs. Titanium electrodes have a lifespan of 10-15 years, only needing to replace the pre-filter periodically every 6-12 months. Hydrogen purifiers do not produce wastewater, using 100% of the input water effectively.

RO filters have lower investment costs but high operating costs due to the need to replace the RO membrane periodically every 2-3 years and other filter levels every 6-12 months. RO systems produce 3-4 liters of wastewater for every liter of clean water, leading to water waste and increased usage costs.

The Right Choice for Every Need

The choice between hydrogen and RO purifiers depends on the quality of the water source and specific usage needs. Hydrogen purifiers are suitable for families with relatively clean water sources, interested in improving health quality through drinking water with high nutritional value. This technology is especially suitable for the elderly, children and people with digestive problems or need to increase resistance.

RO purifier is the optimal choice for areas with heavily polluted water sources, containing heavy metals, bacteria or viruses. However, users need to pay attention to supplementing minerals through a balanced diet or using an additional mineralizer after RO.

The difference between hydrogen and RO purifiers is clearly shown through the design philosophy: one focuses on enhancing nutritional value and health, the other prioritizes safety and absolute purity. Both technologies have their own advantages and are suitable for different needs. HAKAWA is proud to bring customers advanced technological solutions, helping each family find the best choice for their health care needs.
