Overview of the High-Rich HR4 Portable Hydrogen Water Machine

The High-Rich HR4 is a portable hydrogen water machine designed to deliver the highest levels of molecular hydrogen. It also filters out chlorine and ozone while producing clean, antioxidant-rich hydrogen water. This compact, easy-to-use device is one of the best hydrogen water generators on the market.

The High-Rich HR4 portable hydrogen water machine.is the best little hydrogen water generator that I've tested!

Key Features of the High-Rich HR4

  • Uses the latest DuPont SPE-PEM membrane for superior hydrogen production and durability.
  • Removes chlorine, ozone, and harmful oxides while enriching water with molecular hydrogen.
  • Electronics coated with platinum for enhanced performance and longevity.
  • Latest December-2024 version offers significant improvements over previous generations.
  • User-friendly design suitable for travel and daily use.
  • Authorized U.S. repair depot ensures reliable technical support.

The High-Rich Machine is truly the best. See the videos, below, for a complete demonstration of this small, yet powerful, product! With the HR4 you can use regular tap water, filtered water, reverse osmosis water, or distilled water to make hydrogen-rich water. 

Why the High-Rich HR4 is Special

The High-Rich HR4’s patented DuPont SPE-PEM membrane pumps pure hydrogen into water while removing chlorine and oxides, improving water quality and health benefits.

The DuPont SPE-PEM Membrane

High-Rich HR4 portable hydrogen water generator with DuPont SPE-PEM membrane

  • SPE (Solid Polymer Electrolyte): Produces negatively charged water, enhancing antioxidant properties.
  • PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane): Creates a healthy electrolysis environment, removing harmful elements while producing hydrogen-rich water.

DuPont’s platinum-coated electrodes embedded in their SPE-PEM membrane ensure efficient and high-quality hydrogen generation. The membrane is engineered in the USA; the rest of the machine is manufactured in China with oversight and training by DuPont engineers.

The heart of any hydrogen machine is the membrane and plates.

Explanation of SPE-PEM Membrane

  • SPE is referring to the quality of the water produced (in this case: negatively charged water). [Note: SPE stands for solid polymer electrolyte. A polymer is a multi-unit structure where all the units are similar to each other. An electrolyte is a liquid which contains ions (charged particles).] 
  • The Proton exchange membrane (PEM) is basically a special membrane developed by DuPont to create an environment of electrolysis where hydrogen rich water is created in a healthier way than the normal 2 or more plate hydrogen pumps to date. With PEM technology some unhealthy elements are removed by way of this special membrane. 

DuPont uses platinum in their electrodes which are embedded into their own patented SPE/PEM membranes for the finest quality and most efficient hydrogen pumping techniques in the world. The heart of the High-Rich machine is this USA-Made SPE-PEM Membrane. The rest of the machine is made in China. The manufacturer's engineers are regularly trained in the US, by DuPont, in the proper way to build this machine, so you can be assured of the best quality hydrogen water when you use the High-Rich machine.

About Hydrogen Water Machines

Hydrogen water machines provide the antioxidant benefits of molecular hydrogen without altering the water’s pH. Unlike water ionizers, hydrogen water machines focus on producing molecular hydrogen. For detailed research, visit our Molecular Hydrogen Research page and Hydrogen Water Machines page.

Benefits of the High-Rich HR4

  • Filtration: Removes chlorine and nitrates for improved taste and quality.
  • High-quality antioxidants for better health benefits.
  • Improved taste and softness compared to regular tap water.
  • Read these articles:

Note: The High-Rich water machine does not significantly change the pH of the water. For drinking water, use water with a neutral or above pH. For beauty-water (on the skin) use water with an acidic pH.  Also note that the High-Rich machine receives factory testing to ensure quality.

The Hi-Rich membrane must remain moist for effective operation. For this reason there is a small amount of water in the machine when you receive it, and it has a plug over the membrane to keep it from drying out. 

How Much Hydrogen-Water Should You Drink Daily?

All bodies are different, but a good rule of thumb is to drink 8 glasses of hydrogen-water daily.

General Instructions & Maintenance

A Demo of this Hydrogen Machine in Action

Specifications

  • Plate Materials: Platinum-coated titanium
  • Rechargeable battery: 10–15 uses per charge
  • Capacity: 9.5 oz

Extra Cups

The High-Rich Machine comes with the 9.5 oz glass cup. We carry extra cups for those who want them.

  • 9.5 Oz. Glass Cup
  • 7.5 Oz. Glass Cup
  • 2.5 Oz. Glass Cup

Preparing the HR4 for First Use

  1. Wash the glass enclosure and lid with warm water.
  2. Remove the protective plug from the membrane chamber.
  3. Observe bubbles indicating molecular hydrogen production.
  4. Charge fully before first use; red light flashes while charging.
  5. Keep away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.

Using the HR4

  1. Fill cup with water (leave ~1/2 inch from top).
  2. Place on a flat surface and press the power button.
  3. Blue light: 5-minute cycle; Green light: 7-minute cycle.
  4. During operation you should see bubbles coming out (up from the base).
  5. Do not run more than 2 cycles consecutively.
  6. Drink hydrogen water within one hour for maximum benefits.
  7. Empty any water collected in the bottom bin.
  8. Keep the USB port dry.

Between Uses

  • Keep membrane moist by placing lid on the machine or using the plug.
  • If dried out, moisten with hot water for 10 seconds and let sit for 30 minutes.

Periodic Anti-Scaling

  1. Use 1 part vinegar to 3 parts hot water.
  2. Run the machine for 10 seconds, then let sit 30 minutes.
  3. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

Notes & Cautions

  1. You can drink right out of the bottle or pour the water into another bottle or glass.
  2. It's best to drink hydrogen water within an hour of making it, to make sure the hydrogen-levels are still strong.
  3. If the device indicator light starts to flash, it means the battery is low and will need to be recharged soon. 
  4. There is a tiny bin under the base of the High-Rich Machine. Check and empty it if needed.
  5. Do not immerse the machine in water. 
  6. Store it at room temperature.
  7. Don't excessively use it when plugged in or the battery may wear down prematurely.
  8. Avoid direct sunlight.
  9. Avoid freezing. 
  10. Do not pour boiling water into the cup.
  11. The use of very hard water (high calcium levels) or already ionized water in the High Rich is not recommended. It may require more frequent anti-scale treatments.

How to Moisten Up a Dried Out Membrane

  • If the membrane dries out you won't see bubbles (which means it isn't pumping Molecular Hydrogen) until you moisten it back up again.
  • How to moisten the membrane back up: Fill the cup with pretty HOT (but not scalding) water and press the button to show the blue light. Let it run for about 10 seconds and then turn it off by pushing two more times. Let it sit for 1/2 hour. Then try it. It should work; you should see more bubbles.  If this doesn't work, try it again.  If you see improvement, but not good enough yet, then do it again. If you see no improvement in the amount of bubbles, then do the anti-scaling, described in the next section.
