Most Common Questions Before Buying

A regular filter just cleans water — it removes sediment, chlorine and some contaminants. Kangen Water does something completely different: electrolysis splits water molecules and generates water rich in hydrogen H₂ molecules, and also changes its pH and redox potential (ORP).

In other words: a filter is a vacuum cleaner, an ionizer is a machine that changes the very nature of the water you drink.

Yes. Alkaline water generated by a Kangen ionizer (pH 8.5–11.5) is safe for daily drinking. The body has the ability to regulate blood pH independently of the pH of the water you drink.

If you have doubts due to stomach issues — start with lower pH (8.5) and gradually increase. If you take medications — use neutral pH 7 water to take them.

H₂ hydrogen molecules begin to decrease right after pouring — the water escapes into the air. In stainless steel thermoses, the water retains most of its H₂ for 3–4 hours. In a regular plastic cup — about one hour.

For this reason, it's better to drink the water within 30–45 minutes of pouring. However, the alkalinity pH properties remain unchanged throughout the day.

In most cases — yes. But don't take medications with strongly alkaline pH 11.5 water — use neutral pH 7 or mildly alkaline pH 8.5 water instead.

If you take medications — use neutral pH 7 water to swallow them. You can drink the other pH levels normally. If in doubt, ask your doctor.

No. Kangen ionizers connect directly to your existing kitchen tap using the included diverter or adapter. The whole process takes 10–15 minutes and requires no drilling or plumber. Each device includes an installation guide, and I offer phone and video support at every step.

The filter should be replaced every 6–12 months or after filtering 6,000 litres of water — the device signals this with a voice prompt and display.

The cost of an original Enagic FC1 filter is approximately 114 EUR net. For a family of four drinking 2 litres per day, that's roughly 114–160 EUR per year — significantly less than buying bottled water.

That's the most common question I hear! The answer depends on your needs:

K8: If you want maximum H₂ production, the widest pH range, and don't mind the investment.

SD501DX: If you're looking for a solid ionizer at a reasonable price and drink 1–1.5 litres per day.

JR IV: If you have a limited budget and want to enter the world of Kangen Water.

Read the article "K8 vs SD501DX" on our blog — it contains a detailed comparison.

Yes — I offer flexible financing options for customers. Details about instalments, 0% financing, and payment terms — discussed over the phone. Every customer has individual possibilities, and I try to find a solution that fits your budget.

Universal recommendation: 1.5–2 litres per day, but start with 500 mL for 2–3 weeks to observe how your body responds.

If you drink less — nothing bad will happen, but the effects will be less noticeable. If you drink more — that's also fine, but remember you're drinking more water which means more frequent bathroom visits.

Yes — most people notice that Kangen Water tastes milder and "softer" than tap water. That probably wasn't what you expected!

This is because electrolysis changes the structure of the water, and H₂ hydrogen molecules give it a different taste. Some people like it more, others need time to get used to it. But in 95% of cases, customers say: "I feel better because I drink more water, because this water tastes better."

Enagic ionizers have an automatic electrode cleaning function (running flush) — just press a button and the machine cleans itself every week or two.

The spout can be rinsed with regular water. No disassembly required — operation is intuitive.

If your water has high hardness (above 300 ppm), the ionizer will work harder and the filter will wear out faster. Enagic offers Ultra E pre-filters, which reduce water hardness before it enters the ionizer.

I can check the water analysis in your area — if the hardness is too high, I'll honestly tell you whether you need a pre-filter.
