The Science

Independent research, third-party testing and product documentation in one place.

CWCA products are third-party tested and in compliance with NSF 42, 53, 61 and 372 - product dependent as noted.CWCA products are third-party tested and in compliance with NSF 42, 53, 61 and 372 - product dependent as noted.

General Science

Molecular hydrogen and hydrogen-rich water

Hydrogen-rich water research examines dissolved molecular hydrogen (H2), antioxidant activity, oxidative stress and possible effects on health. Product output may also be described by its negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). These research papers are provided for education and do not replace medical advice.

H₂Three measurements help describe hydrogen-rich water.
H₂Dissolved molecular hydrogen
ORPOxidation-reduction potential
pHAcidity or alkalinity
NSF standards 42, 53, 61 and 372
NSF standards address different aspects of drinking-water treatment, materials and lead content. Applicable standards vary by product.

Testing, compliance and system documents

Products are tested and documented individually. A standard does not mean that every product reduces every contaminant; applicable claims depend on the product and its testing.

NSF/ANSI 42

Addresses aesthetic effects such as chlorine taste and odor, chloramine, particulates and other product-specific non-health claims. It also evaluates material safety and structural integrity.

NSF/ANSI 53

Addresses product-specific health-effect reduction claims, which may include lead, mercury, cysts, certain VOCs, PFAS compounds or disinfection byproducts when individually tested.

NSF/ANSI/CAN 61

Evaluates what a drinking-water component may leach into the water. It is a material-safety standard, not a contaminant-removal claim.

NSF/ANSI/CAN 372

Verifies that wetted product components meet the weighted-average lead-content requirement. It does not test a filter's lead-removal performance.

LivingWater and pH

LivingWater documentation covers dissolved hydrogen, pH selection and household uses. Hydrogen-rich water is described by dissolved H2 and measurable ORP; results depend on source water and operating conditions.
