An Open Letter to iBottle: Please Publish the Evidence Behind Your Testing Claims
By HUVE | 18 October 2026
To Amanda Priscilla Soliman, CEO of iBottle
Dear Amanda,
Customers comparing hydrogen water bottles deserve access to evidence they can independently verify: original laboratory reports, identifiable testing organisations, clear model details and current certification records where certification is claimed.
Your website states that iBottle holds test reports from H2 Analytics and H2HUBB for the iBottle+ 400 mL. We are asking you to publish those original reports, provide any associated certification or approval documents, and identify the laboratory behind your separately published reagent-drop test.
Please publish the H2 Analytics and H2HUBB documents
Your iBottle+ testing article attributes these mean dissolved-hydrogen results to the two organisations:
| Organisation named by iBottle | One five-minute cycle | Two consecutive five-minute cycles |
|---|---|---|
| H2HUBB | 4,150 ppb | 6,200 ppb |
| H2 Analytics | 4,100 ppb | 6,300 ppb |
Please provide the complete original reports supporting those figures, including their report numbers, issue dates, tested model, sample volume, methodology and authorisation details.
Please also clarify whether the iBottle+ has been tested, certified or approved by each organisation. These terms describe different things. If certification or approval has been issued, please publish the relevant certificate, registration number, scope and current status.
Why can customers find HUVE in the verification records, but not iBottle?
During our checks on 18 October 2026, searches for “iBottle” and “iBottle+” in the H2 Analytics product verifier returned no matching certified product.
By comparison, searching HUVE in the same verifier displayed an Active registration for HUVE’s HV-H2P-01 hydrogen water bottle: 25-1115-1-PB, issued 15 November 2025 and expiring 15 November 2028.
We also manually reviewed the H2HUBB product directory and found no iBottle entry.
HUVE has an identifiable H2HUBB product page publishing its testing information and approval status.
Amanda, please explain why iBottle does not appear in these public records as HUVE does.
We recognise that a missing certification entry does not establish that private testing never occurred. If iBottle was tested without certification, please say so and publish the reports. If it appears under another company, manufacturer or model name, please provide the documentation connecting that entry to the exact iBottle+ 400 mL product customers receive.
Who issued the reagent-drop testing report?
The downloadable iBottle report, STECH-IBP-0225 is dated 21 February 2025 and describes H₂Blue reagent titration on a 400 mL unit.
It identifies the laboratory only as an “Independent Accredited Commercial Water Testing Facility” in Sydney. It names Dr Elena Vasquez as the preparer and identifies the approving person only as “Laboratory Director.”
The document does not give customers sufficient information to authenticate its issuer. Please provide:
- The laboratory’s legal and trading names, address, website and business contact details.
- Its accreditation body, accreditation number and relevant testing scope.
- The identity of the approving laboratory director.
- Dr Vasquez’s laboratory affiliation, relevant professional credentials and professional contact details.
- An original laboratory-issued report that the laboratory can authenticate directly.
- The underlying replicate results, calibration information, measurement uncertainty and reagent procedure supporting the reported concentrations.
The wording “NATA-aligned testing protocols” does not identify an accredited laboratory or establish the scope of its accreditation. NATA’s report guidance explains why accreditation and report endorsement require more specific information.
These are reasonable requests when a laboratory report is used to support product-performance claims.
Glass vs Tritan for Hydrogen Water Bottles
Our 2026 Hydrogen Water Bottle Buyer’s Guide explains why HUVE prefers Tritan for portable hydrogen bottles: impact resistance, shatter resistance, lower weight and everyday durability.
HUVE considers fragile glass a less practical choice for a bottle carried between home, work, the gym and travel and due to it's reduced capability to support pressurised applications which are required for dissolving hydrogen gas into water beyond ~1600ppb.
For iBottle’s glass model, please publish its operating-pressure specification, pressure rating and relevant safety testing alongside independently authenticated hydrogen measurements.
HUVE’s evidence is available to inspect
We ask customers to examine our documentation too. The links below distinguish the original Perform testing from the updated Perform V2 evaluation.
| Document | What customers can review |
|---|---|
| H2 Analytics laboratory report — original Perform | Report H2AR-251002-1a, dated 2 October 2025. Gas-chromatography testing recorded a 5.12 mg/L ten-minute mean for the tested HV-H2P-01. |
| H2 Analytics Certificate of Compliance | Certificate identifying HUVE, model HV-H2P-01 and registration 25-1115-1-PB. |
| H2HUBB report — Perform V1 | Dated 11 November 2025. A 5.60 mg/L ten-minute average, 6.07 mg/L peak, methodology and contamination-test findings. |
| H2HUBB report — Perform V2, 2026 edition | Dated 24 June 2026. An 8.82 mg/L ten-minute average, 9.30 mg/L peak and approximately 2.03 mg of dissolved hydrogen in 230 mL. |
| H2HUBB performance certificate — Perform V2 | The certificate accompanying the updated 2026 evaluation. |
| SGS water-quality testing summary | Published extracts covering metals, selected water-quality parameters and selected PFAS compounds. This is a three-page extract from a 34-page report. |
| H2 Analytics hydrogen-retention and dissipation report | February 2026 testing of the original Perform’s hydrogen retention when sealed and dissipation after opening. The comparison product’s results are redacted in the published copy. |
These documents describe particular samples and test conditions. The original Perform’s H2 Analytics results should be distinguished from the separate H2HUBB evaluation of Perform V2. Average and peak concentrations should also remain clearly labelled.
An upgrade offer for iBottle customers
If you own an iBottle and would like to upgrade to a HUVE Perform, contact support@huve.com.au to arrange a 40% discount.
Our aim is to make a high-quality, independently tested product more accessible to customers who value transparency. You can inspect HUVE’s published evidence—including H2 Analytics, H2HUBB and SGS testing—before deciding whether to purchase.
Amanda, we invite your response
Please publish the original H2 Analytics and H2HUBB reports, clarify any certification or approval status, and identify the laboratory and professionals responsible for the reagent-drop report.
If verifiable documents resolve these questions, we will review them, update this article and make appropriate corrections.
Customers deserve clear, accessible evidence from every hydrogen-water brand, including HUVE which we have provided since the release of our HUVE Perform.
The HUVE team
Disclosure: HUVE sells hydrogen water bottles that compete with iBottle. This article is based on public documents and verification checks reviewed on 18 October 2026. The absence of a directory entry does not establish that testing never occurred. iBottle is invited to respond and supply supporting documentation.
Note: HUVE has contacted H2 Analytics and confirmed iBottle is not certified with H2 Analytics.
