Do not buy
I am an environmental engineer with a masters degree and several years industry experience specializing in drinking water treatment.
Based on my professional experience I can definitively state that this product is absolutely nonsense. The description is riddled with pseudo scientific language completely devoid of meaning.
To address specific claims:
1)In a liquid, atoms do not form a crystalline lattice, nor do they show any other form of long-range order. This is one of the fundamental properties of a liquid. Hexagonal water is ice. There is no form of hexagonal water that is not ice. Furthermore no magnetic or infrared forces generated from a counter-top device could have any effect on the molecular structure of water. Nor would you want them to. Water is good and healthy the way it is.
2) The oxygen content of water varies from 0-~10 mg/L based mostly on microbial activity and exposure to air. This matters a great to fish and microbes who "breath" the water and not at all to mammals who drink it. Increasing the oxygen content might in some small way increase microbial growth, but mostly it will not matter at all.
3) Minerals might be added to your water. Theoretically this could be beneficial although, again, it will mostly not matter. Most alarmingly is the claim that the mineral cube lasts 4000 minutes. Most of the minerals you want added to water are extraordinarily insoluble. They are literally rocks, which do not dissolve quickly. Either these mineral cubes provided are microscopically small or they are not the minerals that belong in drinking water.
4) Unless you subscribe to some quasi religious view of energy then adding energy to water does not translate into you feeling energized. In this application adding energy pretty much means adding heat. If you want warm water then use a microwave or stove-top.
In summary, do not buy this product. Also learn science or, at a minimum, give a scientist a hug. We pretty much keep this world running.
