What Kangen Water Is

Kangen means “return to origin” in Japanese. Here is how an Enagic machine turns tap water into five kinds of water, and what each one is for.

From Your Tap in Two Steps

Filter

The internal filter removes chlorine, unpleasant taste and odor, and sediment down to 5 micrometers. The result is Clean Water at a neutral pH of 7.

Electrolysis

Platinum coated titanium plates split the water into an alkaline stream and an acidic stream, which leave through separate hoses. The plate count is a big part of what separates one model from another.
