Questions About Kangen Water
Will my acidic stomach neutralize the alkaline water?
The stomach is not always acidic as normal physiology suggests. When we eat, hydrochloric acid is released in response to the presence of both protein and the stretching of the stomach as food gets consumed.
Water, similar to alcohol, is absorbed directly through the stomach lining without activating the release of hydrochloric acid. Therefore, if a person drinks alkaline water on an empty stomach before meals, the water will be quickly absorbed and circulated throughout the body.
How long does the ORP remain effective?
ORP or Oxidation Reduction Potential (Antioxidant) of alkaline ionized water decline quickly so it is best to drink it straight from the ionizer.
If you decide to store it in a container, the ORP values will typically drop by 50 percent within the first 24 hours and revert back to its original values within 48 hours or so.
Technical Questions
How long will my water ionizer typical last?
Due to the thick, large titanium electrode plates, coated in platinum (completely rust proof), Kangen water ionizers typically last 15 – 25 years compared to other brands which typically lasts 2 – 3 years on average.
Minerals such as Ca, Mg, and other mineral clusters in the water supply tend to stick to the electrode plates, which decreases the electrolysis capability of the machine. To counter this, Kangen water ionizers are equipped with an automatic cleaning system that is activated for 20 seconds when water is continually ionized for 15 minutes.
There is also another way to clean the electrolysis cell manually. Setting the water to pH 5.5 and running the water tap for 2 – 3 minutes gently reverses the electric current and removes the crystals in the electrolysis cell
Yes. Water comes out from two different hoses (white and grey). In order to prevent contamination and the proliferation of germs in residue water, the draining system is automatically activated when water is ionized and residue water is drained out at the same time.
Water of pH 5.5 – 11.0 comes out through the white hose, and acidic water (2.5 pH) comes out through the grey hose.
Each filter cartridge will last for approximately 6,000 litres. An averaged sized family typically consumes 15 – 25 litres of water a day. So one filter cartridge will last for about 6 – 10 months.
No. Only water at room temperature is dispensed. Boiling or freezing ionized water will reduce or even make it lose its beneficial properties.
Miscellaneous
Do you offer free delivery and free installation when I buy the machine?
Yes, we offer free delivery and free basic installation when you purchase a unit with us for installation in Singapore /Johore Bahru and Kuala Lumpur. Any other destinations courier charges will be charged by the Enagic office nearest to you and will be paid by you on purchase.
