PQ Showcases PratiQual Product Line: Everyday Innovations with Purpose and Dignity

From hydration to hydroponics, PQ’s in-house innovations offer practical solutions through sustainable design.

Long Beach, CA — [Insert Date] — As part of its mission to create practical ideas for a better quality of life, PQ proudly introduces the PratiQual product line—a set of inventive tools designed to solve everyday problems with purpose, sustainability, and cultural mindfulness.

Developed in-house by founder Christopher Johnson, these products blend function with intentional design, addressing needs around hydration, discretion, food access, and creative expression. Like everything PQ offers, they’re rooted in the belief that everyday tools can create extraordinary shifts—especially when made from sustainable materials and shared with community in mind.

“At PQ, innovation doesn’t mean reinventing the wheel,” said Chris. “It means finding the things we use every day and asking, ‘How can this work better, feel better, and live in harmony with the planet and the people using it?’”

Meet the PratiQual Product Line

Each item is designed with low-cost, high-impact principles and can be produced locally through 3D printing using biodegradable or recycled filament.

• Hydro Top A reusable water bottle topper that adapts to cantinas and jugs, promoting hydration without waste. Created to discourage plastic bottle use while supporting cultural preferences around reusable containers.

• 1e (One-E) A discreet, reusable one-hitter pipe designed for cannabis users seeking relief from pain. Its elegant design reduces the stigma around medicinal use while offering a low-waste alternative to joints and rolling papers.

• IrriPot A USB-powered hydroponic planter featuring a refillable reservoir, ideal for indoor gardening, education, or local food production. It’s modular, customizable, and compatible with net pots and clay pellets—bringing sustainable growing into homes and classrooms.

The Innovation Behind the Name

The name PratiQual reflects the intersection of practical and quality—a reminder that real innovation lives in the things we use daily. These tools aren’t flashy gadgets. They’re designed for dignity, reuse, and creative empowerment.

Like all PQ offerings, the PratiQual line is built on the foundation of the Marshmallow Test philosophy: choosing long-term benefit and thoughtful design over instant, disposable fixes. Each product helps users slow down, care for their body or space, and engage with intention.

Why It Matters

These innovations represent PQ’s broader mission in action:

• The Hydro Top promotes sustainability and cultural flexibility in hydration.

• The 1e supports medicinal users with dignity and discretion.

• The IrriPot fosters food literacy, urban gardening, and STEM learning in low-resource areas.

They’re not just inventions—they’re invitations to build a life that’s thoughtful, connected, and better for everyone.

“We design with purpose,” Chris added. “These tools are for real people, living real lives, solving real problems—with beauty and care.”
