What is Kangen Water®?
Kangen Water® is an extraordinary type of ionized alkaline water, produced through Enagic’s advanced water ionization process. The creation of Kangen Water® involves electrolysis, a technique that divides water into alkaline and acidic components. This water stands out due to its high pH, antioxidant-rich properties, and smaller water cluster size, which enhances hydration and supports better cellular absorption. Renowned for its exceptional quality and numerous health benefits, Kangen Water® has earned worldwide acclaim as an essential element in promoting optimal health and wellness.
Properties Of Kangen Water
Active Hydrogen Rich
Through the process of electrolysis, your tap water becomes Active Hydrogen (OH-) rich Kangen Water® . Kangen Water® is high concentration of Active Hydrogen (OH-). It is an efficient antioxidant that diffuses rapidly across cell membranes and can reduce free radicals, suppressing oxidative stress.
Negative ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential)
Active Hydrogen rich water is characterized by exhibiting a negative ORP. A high ORP value (in positive numbers), indicates that a substance has a higher oxidizing potential. In generalized terms, for humans a positive or high ORP is better for the outside of the body (cleaning and sanitizing). A low ORP value (in negative numbers) indicates that a substance has a higher anti-oxidizing potential, and is preferred for oral consumption. Just like pH, ORP values are an important measurement for determining the quality of water.
Alkaline
As with most things in life, optimal health begins with balance. Our bodies must maintain a pH balance of 7.365, which is slightly alkaline. A pH scale is used to determine whether a substance is acidic or alkaline. On this scale 7.0 is neutral. Anything above 7 is considered alkaline and anything below 7 is considered acidic.
The Electrolysis Process:
STEP 1: FILTRATION
the internal HighGrade Filter filters chlorine, unpleasant taste and odor, and reduces sediments up to 5 micrometers to produce Clean Water.
Your use of external Pre-Filtration systems does NOT substitute for the necessity to use the special Enagic HG filter installed in the used device, and to replace it periodically, in order to ensure the quality of the water resulting from the electrolysis process.
STEP 2: ELECTROLYSIS
through several* electrode plates and membranes, the filtered water is separated into acidic and alkaline parts. Water is spited into OH- (hydroxide ions) and H+ (hydrogen ions). The hydrogen ions react with electrons given by the cathode (– charged electrode), forming H2, molecular Hydrogen. Hydroxide ions remain, making the water more alkaline around the cathode. Conversely, close to the anode (+ charged electrode), hydroxide 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. *number depending on machine model.
What is the Best Kangen Machine?
Choosing the “best” Kangen machine ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences. Below are some of the top models that are highly regarded:
Enagic K8: This premium model is renowned for its cutting-edge electrolysis technology, featuring eight platinum-coated titanium plates. With a wide range of pH levels, from highly alkaline to mildly acidic, the K8 is versatile for many uses. It also includes a large LCD screen, multiple language options, and an integrated water filter for enhanced convenience.
Enagic SD501: Widely recognized as one of the top-selling and most reliable Kangen Water machines, the SD501 is equipped with a seven-plate electrolysis chamber, ensuring consistent and effective ionization of water. It provides five types of water with adjustable pH levels and features an easy-to-use interface for a seamless experience.
The 5 Types of Kangen Water and Their Uses
Strong Kangen Water (pH 11.0): With its highly alkaline nature, Strong Kangen Water is perfect for heavy-duty cleaning tasks. Its emulsifying and dissolving properties make it highly effective at removing stubborn stains. Use it to sanitize cutting boards, kitchen utensils, and surfaces with ease.
Kangen Water® (pH 8.5-9.5): This is the most commonly used form of Kangen Water. With a slightly alkaline pH, it helps maintain balance within the body and promotes optimal hydration. It’s a great choice for daily drinking, cooking, and even making beverages like tea and coffee.
Clean Water (pH 7.0): Clean Water is a neutral, un-ionized option that has been filtered through the Kangen Water machine. Although it lacks the alkalizing benefits of other types of Kangen Water, it is still thoroughly filtered, providing a safe and refreshing drinking water alternative.
Beauty Water (pH 4.0-6.0): With a mildly acidic pH, Beauty Water is perfect for external use, offering gentle astringent properties that help tone and hydrate the skin. It’s an excellent choice for skincare routines, facial cleansing, toning, and can even be used as a hair rinse to enhance shine and smoothness.
Strong Acidic Water (pH 2.7): Known for its strong sterilizing capabilities, Strong Acidic Water has a low pH and serves as a powerful alternative to chemical disinfectants. It’s effective in eliminating germs and bacteria on surfaces and is ideal for cleaning kitchen tools, countertops, and bathrooms.
