WHAT IS KANGEN WATER?
Kangen water is the delicious, yet healthy water created from Enagic’s progressive water technology. Not only do these amazing devices filter harmful chemicals out of tap water, but through the process of ionization produces Kangen and acidic type waters. These waters can be used for various purposes which include drinking, cooking, beauty, and cleaning.
*Kangen means return to origin.

With rice Use it for washing & cooking. The result is delicious and fluffy rice. |
|
With coffee, tea, or green tea When taste and aroma are everything, you will be surprised at the improved color, taste, and aroma. You can also use less coffee, tea, or green tea, and still achieve a full rich taste due to its extractive ability. |
|
With other strongly acidic foods Drink Kangen Water together when eating strongly acidic foods such as meat, egg yolks, the alkaline water will help your body balance the acidic effects of those foods. Other; Use making soup stocks and beans. |
|
In soups and stews Kangen Water draws out the flavor of ingredients so they tender and juicy. Therefore, less seasoning such as salt and soy sauce in are needed, and it is perfect for people trying to reduce their salt intake. |
|
Use for washing vegetables Use Kangen Water to remove rawness of onions, bamboo shoots, burdock, or the like. |

How do we begin drinking Kangen water(TM)? |
 |
 |
It is most common to begin by setting a low pH��5 level (between pH8 and pH9.0), and gradually increasing the amount of intake. After continuing regular intake for about two weeks, gradually adjust the pH level and amount of intake (between pH9.0-pH9.5) based on your bodily needs and physical condition. The Kangen water(TM) should be as fresh as possible. For children or seniors, set the pH level at an  even lower level upon starting, and gradually increase it as the body adjusts to the current pH level. In the case of infants (until about a year old), since breast milk or milk is the only thing they consume, the intestinal movement is generally different from adults, and the use of Kangen water(TM) is not encouraged until the infant begins to consume more sophisticated foods. In any case, Kangen water(TM) should not be used to make powdered milk for infants. |
| 5) | pH The logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen-ion concentration in gram atoms per liter. It is used as a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a scale of 0-14 (where 7 is neutral). |

What is the white fogginess in Kangen water(TM)? |
|
|
The white fogginess apparent in Kangen water(TM) is simply a result of hydrogen gas being released through electrolysis, and does not pose a problem. If you rest the glass for a while the white fogginess should disappear. Research focused on dissolved hydrogen released through electrolysis of water was presented at The Japan Functional Water Association Meeting��1 i n late December of 2002. It reported that Kangen water(TM) is effective in controlling the oxidation of lipids in the body. It also reported that dissolved hydrogen��2 present in the colloidal��3 state has a higher activity level than active hydrogen��4 produced at the instance of reaction. Based on this report, the need for broader data collection and further scientific analysis was recognized. |
| 1) | The Japan Functional Water Association Meeting The Japan Functional Water Association Workshop was established on September 13, 2002. In December of the same year, the first Japan Functional Water Association Academic Convention was held in Tokyo. |
| 2) | Dissolved hydrogen Most commonly measured using a diaphragm polalograph-type dissolved hydrogen electrode. The solubility of dissolved hydrogen is about 1.5mg/L. |
| 3) | Colloidal Low molecular weight (colloidal) particles dispersed in liquid. Each particle is between 1m and 0.1. The majority of substances that make up organisms are colloidal and have complex movements. |
| 4) | Active hydrogen Professor Sanetaka SHIRAHATA of Kyushu University announced the “active hydrogen deoxidized water theory” on removing the active hydrogen in Kangen water. Related academic circles are debating whether or not active hydrogen exists in a stable state, given that it is an unstable free radical. |

Can LeveLuk be used overseas? |
|
|
LeveLuk is made to be used in USA. When using LeveLuk in other countries, it must be adjusted to the particular voltage (110V-240V) and water quality of the country. Since there are few countries where you can drink tap water straight from the tap, and many countries where the water has extremely high calcium content, we recommend selecting a filter that suits the country. Many laws must be taken into consideration for exporting goods, but individual use overseas is not a problem. |

The flexible pipe is not allowing for the smooth flow of water? What should I do? |
|
|
When the original tap water supply is high in minerals (most often seen with well water), a large amount of crystals are formed in the electrolysis cell. If this progresses, chunks of crystals can become stuck in the net before the flexible pipe,  obstructing the water outflow. In order to remove this clog, poke the area with a piece of wire and blow air into the LeveLuk from the spout. Please remove the flexible pipe from LeveLuk when cleaning in this manner. |

Changes to the Kangen water(TM) outlet as a result of switching water production mode? |
|
|
Electrolyzing water produces Kangen water(TM) (alkaline) on the negative pole and acidic water on the positive pole. LeveLuk is designed so that the flexible pipe attached to the top is connected to the negative electrolysis cell, while the discharge (gray) hose, attached to the base of the LeveLuk is connected to the positive electrolysis cell. For this reason, Kangen water(TM) and strong Kangen water(TM) comes out of the flexible pipe, and acidic water and strong acidic water comes out of the discharge hose. Of the four production modes, when the appliance is set on the “beauty water” mode, the electric current is reversed, as it is done for cleaning, so acidic water comes out the flexible pipe and Kangen water(TM) comes out the discharge hose. This is the only time the waters are discharged on the opposite ends. Since the acidic mode reverses polarity, it has the effect of breaking off calcium crystals attached to the negative pole and can be used as a manual cleaning mode. |

What aspects of the Medical Practitioner’s Law and Pharmaceutical Law are related to Kangen water(TM)? |
|
|
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare serves as the information source for maintaining the health of the Japanese people and controls various forms of amateur doctoring. The law prohibits actions or speech that surpass procedures or talk by doctors and pharmacists. The only aspects of Kangen water(TM) we are allowed to speak of or write about are abnormal gastroi-ntestinal fermentation, chronic diarrhea, indig-estion, hyperacidity, and the astringent effect. Although these are the bases of more significant illnesses, speaking of them is  against the law. There are numerous cases in clinical studies conducted by doctors or pharmacists that found drinking Kangen water(TM) cures various illnesses. It is also known that driving out active oxygen from the body with Kangen water(TM) inevitably boosts the natural healing power*1. In reality, the fields of water within medical circles are already introducing the mechanism of Kangen water(TM) in the human body through books and the media. Please be aware of the Medical Practitioner’s Law and Pharmaceutical Law when recommending LeveLuk. |
| 1) | Natural healing power When animals fall ill, they have the ability to heal themselves naturally. Animals in the wilderness have especially strong natural healing powers. |
|
|
Caution regarding the use of LeveLuk in cold regions. |
|
|
LeveLuk is designed for use anywhere, but cold districts especially must be aware how to freeze-proof the device during the winter. When you turn off the water, the LeveLuk activates the automatic water draining system and drains the remaining water through the gray hose, thereby ensuring that no water is left in the appliance. Although there have not yet been any repor ts of accidents or breakdowns caused by freezing, if acidic water is left in the tank intentionally by lifting the hose or if the hose is positioned higher than the bottom of the LeveLuk due to space constraints, the automatic water draining system will not operate, and the remaining water may freeze, leading to accidents. Be sure to keep the hose lower than the base of the LeveLuk when turning off the water flow. |

What is the basic, correct way of drinking Kangen water(TM)? |
|
|
There are no set rules regarding how to drink Kangen water(TM) or how much to consume, but there appear to be two main ways. The first is for people who are healthy and have a structured lifestyle and steady daily rhythm. Such individuals can drink Kangen water(TM) anyway they want. The second way is for individuals who are trying to benefit from the four effects of Kangen water(TM) (recognized by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) to improve medical conditions. In this case, it is best to drink small amounts (1/4 of a cup) every 30-40 minutes. Individuals who drink a cup of f reshly made Kangen water(TM) in the morning, and just before bed are less likely to suffer from the rebound phenomena 1. You can only expect to enjoy the benefits recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare if you consume the water in the correct manner. |
| 1) | The rebound phenomena Also known as taking a favorable turn. When the body turns in the direction of recovery, it is often observed that patients experience a period of repulsion where they suffer from swelling or diarrhea. |
