WATER
THE 5 TYPES OF WATER
The human body is comprised of over 70% water. It is no exaggeration to say that "the basis of vitality and long life is water." Enagic offers safe water that can be used with confidence to benefit health, beauty, cleaning and cuisine.
pH 11
Not for drinking. Strong Kangen Water preserves hygiene in your daily life due to its strong cleaning effect. It has dissolving and heat conducting benefits. Usage: remove pesticide chemical from vegetables and fruits.
pH 8.5-9.5
This type of water is perfect for drinking and healthy cooking. This electrolytically-reduced, hydrogen-rich water works to restore your body to a more alkaline state, which is optimal for good health. Usage: drinking, food preparation, coffee and tea, soups and stews, and watering plants.
Kangen Water is also friendly to your budget and to the Environment. Forget about buying and storing all those expensive plastic water bottles!

pH 7
Free of chlorine, rust and cloudiness. Neutral water is delicious drinking water. Usage: preparing baby food, taking medication.
pH 4-6
Not for drinking. This slightly acidic water is recognized for its astringent effects. It's terrific to use for gentle cleaning and beauty care. Usage: face wash, hair care, pet care, polishing, cleaning, and preserving frozen food.
Kangen Water is also friendly to your budget and to the Environment. Forget about buying and storing all those expensive plastic water bottles!

pH 2.7
Not for drinking. This water has cleansing properties. Use Strong Acidic Water to clean kitchen utensils, countertops, and more to prevent cross-contamination. Usages: cleaning and reducing germs, hygiene, and commercial operation.
DIFFERENCES IN DRINKING WATER
Water is the foundation to health - this is why water quality is so important.
Tap water
* Municipal water, subject to strict regulations.
* May be treated with chlorine to keep it clean
* May contain sediment and have a stale taste
* Contains varying amount of minerals, depending on area.
* Cheap
With an Enagic Kangen Water machine, your tap water will not only become delicious by filtering unwanted sediment and residues, it will also gain the beneficial property of being rich in molecular hydrogen, a potent anti-oxidant!

Bottled water
* Can originate from a mixture of sources.
* Plastic bottles may contain BPA and Phthalates which can leach into the water.
* Contains varying amount of minerals, depending on source
* Expensive to purchase
Even though tap water is freely available and safe in most European countries, drinking bottled water is widespread, with some estimates stating a consumption of approx. 200 billion bottles every year. This has a negative impact on the environment, including water wastage and pollution.
Since on average, 3 litres of regular water are necessary to produce only 1 litre of bottled water, approx. 100 billion litres of water are wasted every year. In addition to that, not only do the packaging, transportation, and refrigeration of bottled water generate CO2, contributing to climate change, most of the bottles end up as plastic waste, instead of being recycled.

Well Water
Sometimes more alkaline in nature but prone to contamination. Requires regular testing and is expensive to maintain.
Distilled Water
Also known as Reverse Osmosis water. All or almost all minerals are removed, which has raised concern, as waterborne minerals are important to nutrition.

How your tap water becomes Kangen Water
Step 1: Filtration
The internal High Grade Filter filters chlorine, unpleasant taste and odor, and reduces sediments up to 5 micrometers to produce Clean Water.
Step 2: Electrolysis
The filtered water moves through several electrode plates and membranes, separating into acidic and alkaline parts. It is split into OH- (hydroxid ions) and H+ (hydrogen ions).
The hydrogen ions react with electrons given by the cathode (– charged electrode), forming H2, molecular Hydrogen. Hydroxid ions remain, making the water more alkaline around the cathode. Conversely, close to the anode (+ charged electrode), hydroxid ions give electrons to the anode, eventually forming O2 (Oxygen). Hydrogen ions remain, making the water more acidic around the anode. The two kinds of water are separated by membranes and released through different hoses.
