Upgrading your drinking water is one of the simplest ways to support long-term wellness. But with so many systems out there, it’s easy to get stuck deciding which one is right for your home, lifestyle, and goals.
At Optimal Hydration, we’ve designed two powerful solutions – the OH-1 Desktop Plug & Play and the OH-2 Under-Counter water purification systems – both delivering clean, great-tasting, hydrogen-rich water at the touch of a button.
This guide will help you:
- Understand why hydrogen-rich water is worth the switch.
- Compare the OH-1 and OH-2 so you can choose with confidence.
3. See how to make your new system part of everyday life.
Why Hydrogen-Rich Water?
Hydrogen-rich water starts with purified water—free from contaminants, chlorine, and heavy metals—and then infuses it with molecular hydrogen (H₂), a naturally occurring molecule known for supporting hydration at a deeper cellular level and helping your body stay balanced.
It’s a clean, refreshing upgrade that:
- Tastes noticeably fresher than tap water.
- Hydrates more efficiently due to hydrogen’s small molecular size.
Supports your body’s natural defences against everyday stress.

Integrating Your New System Into Daily Life
Switching to hydrogen-rich water isn’t just about better hydration – it’s about building a habit that naturally supports your health.
Morning: Start your day with a glass before coffee or breakfast to rehydrate after sleep.
Workday: Keep a refillable bottle at your desk to maintain steady hydration without plastic waste.
Post-Exercise: Replenish fluids and support muscle recovery with fresh hydrogen-rich water.
Mealtimes: Use it for cooking – pasta, rice, soups – for cleaner, fresher-tasting dishes.
Evening: Sip a glass to wind down, staying hydrated overnight.
Both the OH-1 Desktop and OH-2 Under-Counter systems are designed to make high-quality, hydrogen-rich water simple, safe, and accessible. By choosing the one that fits your lifestyle, you’re investing in hydration that goes beyond quenching thirst – it supports how you feel, think, and perform every day.
