Five watersfrom one tap
Kangen means “return to origin”. An Enagic machine filters your tap water and separates it by electrolysis into five types, each with its own pH and its own use.
Kangen means “return to origin”. An Enagic machine filters your tap water and separates it by electrolysis into five types, each with its own pH and its own use.
The machine connects to your kitchen tap. It first filters the mains water and then passes it through a chamber of platinum-coated titanium plates, where electrolysis separates it into an alkaline and an acidic stream.
By choosing the level on the panel you get your drinking water, your cooking water and your cleaning water from the same machine. Enagic has been manufacturing these ionisers in Japan for over five decades.
See the five levels
Water at home,Three are for drinking and cooking; two are for household use and are not drunk. Move the control to see them one by one.
The everyday water for drinking and cooking. Electrolytically reduced, hydrogen-rich alkaline water, produced at three levels within that range.
Strong Kangen Water is used to clean food and kitchen utensils and to tackle stubborn stains. Strong Acidic Water is used for surface hygiene. Between them they cover much of the cleaning around the house.
And your drinking water comes straight from the tap, so the bottles in the car boot and the packs in the pantry simply disappear.
Cooking, cleaningEvery water source has its advantages and its drawbacks. Here are the facts, so you can compare for yourself.
| Source | For | Against |
|---|---|---|
| Tap water | Strictly regulated and of good quality across Europe. The most practical source and the cheapest. | Usually treated with chlorine. May carry sediment and taste flat. Mineral content varies by area. |
| Bottled water | Convenient and available anywhere. | The most expensive option. The plastic may contain BPA and phthalates. Consumption is estimated at some 200 billion bottles a year, and most end up as waste rather than being recycled. |
| Reverse osmosis and distilled | Removes practically everything the water carries. | It also removes the minerals, and that is the debate: minerals in water count nutritionally. |
| Well water | Sometimes naturally more alkaline. | Prone to contamination. Requires periodic testing and maintenance is expensive. |
| Enagic ioniser | Filters chlorine and sediment from mains water while keeping the minerals. Five water types from one tap, and no bottles. | A high upfront investment. The filter cartridge has to be changed every six months. |

Which one fits depends on how many of you there are at home and what you will use it for.

Prices in euros for orders delivered to mainland Spain, with 21% Spanish VAT and shipping already included. They are final prices: what you pay, not a base rate. For any other destination Enagic applies the VAT and the shipping cost of that country, so the total will be different and worth checking first. Enagic sets the rates and updates them periodically: get in touch and I will confirm today's rate and the payment options available.
Set your real consumption. The numbers come from what you enter, not from an optimistic estimate.
It takes around 3 litres of water to produce 1 litre of bottled water, according to the European Commission. Maintenance is one filter cartridge, replaced according to the litres produced.
Enagic manufactures in Japan and runs its own offices in 29 countries. In Europe it has branches in Germany, France, Italy, Romania and Portugal.
I have been using the machine at home for years. If you are considering one, the most useful thing is a ten-minute chat: I can tell you which model fits your household, how it is installed and what maintenance it needs. No rush, no obligation.
