Kangen Water

What Do Kangen Water Machines Do?

Kangen Water machines designed for ionization allow you to change the pH level of water to make it more alkaline, acidic, or both. Using Kangen water machines for ionization, you can produce filtered electrolytic water with the appropriate pH level for specific uses, such as cleaning or drinking. Some Kangen water machines are designed to use reverse osmosis to provide water filtration.

Understanding the pH Scale for Water

The pH scale measures how acidic water is. The scale ranges from 0 to 14. Pure or neutral water has a pH of 7. When water has a pH that is lower than 7, the water is acidic, with 0 being the most acidic or equivalent to battery acid. When the water has a pH higher than 7, the water is "basic," with 14 being the most basic or equivalent to drain cleaner. The normal pH of bottled drinking water is usually between 6.5 to 7.5. Kangen water that is labeled as alkaline normally has a pH of 8.0 to 9.0 and claims to offer different health benefits.

What are the Uses for Different Types of Kangen Water?

Acidic water with a pH of 2.7 or lower can be used for sanitizing and cleaning. It is ideal for commercial operations where regular cleaning and sanitizing are required. Acidic water can also be used for washing hands. Water with a pH between 5.5 and 6.0 is known as "beauty water" and is ideal for face washing, hair rinsing, bath water, and pet grooming. Neutral or clean water can be used for drinking and preparing baby foods. Kangen water with a pH between 8.5 and 9.5 can be used as drinking water to help balance the pH effects of various foods. Kangen water produced by Kangen water machines promotes optimal hydration, helps remove strong odors from foods, and can be used for washing and cooking rice. Strong Kangen water with a pH of 11.5 or above can be used for food preparation to clean fruits, vegetables, and fish. It can also be used for general household cleaning and stain removal.
