Kangen Water Asheville NC

What is Asheville NC Kangen Water?

Kangen Water in Asheville NC is ionized alkaline water (or acidic water) made by Enagic’s kangen water machine which is high in anti-oxidants and is hydrogen rich. It is converted from regular tap water into either acidic (Low PH) or alkaline water (High PH), depending on the setting (most kangen machines can produce water between 2.7 PH and 11.5 PH). Kangen water machines are very popular with families in Asheville and throughout the state of North Carolina.

It does so through a process called electrolysis, which is a technical term for electrocuting the water and splitting it into high PH (Alkaline) and low PH (Acidic), that’s why each kangen water machine has 2 tubes (hoses) coming out of it. One for Alkaline water and other for Acidic. Learn a little more about what is kangen water.

Leveluk K8

Leveluk K8 is currently the top of the line anti-oxidizing kagnen water machine that Enagic makes for home use. It has 8 platinum coated plates and is capable of making the highest ORP water.

Leveluk SD501

Leveluk SD501 is the most popular unit that has 7 platinum coated plates and has stood the test of time, while serving lots of people. It features voice system with English language. There is also the under counter model called Leveluk SD501U.

Leveluk SD 501 Platinum

Leveluk SD 501 Platinum is the fancier version of SD 501, it performs the same except for the fabulously good looks and ability to “speak” in 5 languages which are English, French, Italian, Spanish and German.

Leveluk JRII

Leveluk JRII looks like the SD 501 machine, but it only has 3 platinum coated plates. It produces water with much lower maximum ORP and has lower output. It is however great for energy conservation. The current version is JRIV with similar specs and higher price tag.

Leveluk Super 501

Leveluk Super 501 is basically a commercial grade kangen water machine. It has 2 output hoses and can make a LOT more water. I’ve seen suggestions that it’s for large families, but I think that K8 or SD 501 will do just fine at home.

How Do You Buy A Kangen Water Machine?

While I’m not directly involved in selling these machines, I’m acquainted with some excellent individuals who serve as Enagic’s kangen water distributors. They operate websites where you can conveniently purchase a machine and have it delivered to your doorstep. Remember, if you require technical assistance, your sponsor is your go-to person. Enagic will provide you with the sponsor’s contact information after you make a purchase.

Due to my commitments to my day job, I regret that I’m unable to assist with technical inquiries (though I can certainly attest to the remarkable health benefits of this water).

Kangen Water Machines and Their Benefits

So, why opt for a Kangen water machine over other water ionizers in Asheville, NC? With multiple brands actively promoting their products, it’s a valid question.

Here are a couple of reasons why I would prefer Enagic’s Kangen machine:

1. Established reputation: Enagic has built a solid reputation and fostered a large community of Kangen water enthusiasts. Did you know it’s the most searched brand of alkaline water?
2. Japanese craftsmanship: Japanese quality standards may not be immediately obvious to everyone, but having experienced firsthand the meticulousness and pride Japanese artisans put into their work, I now greatly value and covet their products.
3. Emphasis on quality: A standout feature of Kangen water distributors is the quality of the platinum-coated plates, crucial for splitting tap water into alkaline and acidic streams. Contrastingly, many other manufacturers use mesh plates, revealed in numerous videos exposing their inferior construction. This underscores the importance of quality, particularly since these plates contribute significantly to the machine’s cost.
4. Longevity: Kangen water machines, when properly maintained, can endure for over 20 years. Conversely, there are numerous instances, both in-person and online, showcasing the comparatively shorter lifespan of heavily advertised brands.

What's Up With All Kangen Water Reviews?

With the internet awash in reviews of Kangen water machines, there’s a deluge of opinions—both favorable and unfavorable—leaving consumers in a quandary about whom to trust when seeking a machine for personal, familial, or workplace use. Regrettably, even trusted sources like the BBB and Consumer Reports are not immune to competitor-sponsored reviews that disparage rival products.

When scouring various sources for reviews on a company like Enagic or a product such as the Kangen Water Machine, like the Leveluk 501, it’s imperative to discern the source’s affiliations (whether they’re a competitor, salesperson pushing their own product, etc.) and potential biases.

One telltale sign is the presence of an affiliate link, redirecting you to sites like Amazon, where you might find similar products such as alternative water ionizers.

Are There Health Benefits To Drinking Kangen Water?

Amidst the wealth of information, and unfortunately, some misinformation, surrounding the purported benefits of exclusively consuming Kangen water, one fact remains crystal clear: it does not possess the capability to cure any diseases. Any assertion to the contrary is simply false. While there may be instances where Kangen water aids certain individuals in managing serious health issues like cancer, it unequivocally does not constitute a “cure-all” for cancer or any other ailment, regardless of severity.

In terms of reported benefits, numerous individuals attest that after consistently drinking Kangen water at recommended volumes (a minimum of 0.5 gallons or roughly 2 liters per day), they experience:

1. Enhanced Mental Clarity
2. Sustainable Energy Boosts, devoid of subsequent crashes (unlike energy drinks)
3. Improved Quality and Depth of Sleep
4. Enhanced Hydration (owing to the superior absorption of Kangen water by the body)
5. Radiant Skin
6. Strengthened Hair (particularly beneficial for those grappling with hair issues)

While these may not necessarily constitute medical benefits, they undeniably contribute to lifestyle enhancements.

Different Types of Kangen Water Uses and Benefits

According to Enagic’s official website and my personal experience, there are 5 types of water that kangen machines make:

Strong Kangen Water (11.5 PH Most Alkaline)
Drinking Water (8.5 to 9.5 PH Alkaline)
Neutral, Clean Water (7 PH Neutral)
Beauty Water (4 to 6 PH Slightly Acidic)
Strong Acidic Water (2.7 PH Most Acidic)

Each type of water has specific properties and can be used for different things in and around the house.

Strong Kangen Water: This highly alkaline water boasts intriguing properties and finds utility in:

1. Cleaning: Substitute chemical cleaners with strong Kangen water for wiping kitchen counters, stovetops, and other grimy surfaces.
2. Food Cleaning and Preparation: Its unique attributes make it ideal for eliminating oil-based pesticides from store-bought fruits and vegetables. Keep an eye out for a video demonstration of this effective process.
3. Stain Removal: From carpets and upholstery to hard surfaces and clothing, strong Kangen water proves effective, though it’s not a suitable replacement for bleach.

Kangen Water for Drinking: The spotlight shines on this type of water produced by Kangen machines, boasting a pH range between 8.5 and 9.5, ideal for:

1. Hydration: Consume water equivalent to your body weight in ounces daily to maintain optimal hydration levels. For instance, if you weigh 150 lbs, aim for 150 oz. (1.17 gallons) daily.
2. Culinary Use: Enhance soups, broths, stews, and homemade sauces with Kangen drinking water.
3. Pre-cooking: Perfect for boiling certain foods prior to further culinary preparation.
4. Beverage Preparation: From lemonade to coffee and tea, beverages crafted with Kangen drinking water offer heightened flavor, owing to its smaller molecular size. Look out for a forthcoming video demonstrating this intriguing phenomenon.
5. Plant Watering: Despite conventional wisdom favoring acidic water for plants, Enagic suggests that plants thrive on drinking water. It’s worth experimenting before fully committing.

Neutral, Clean Water: Enagic’s Kangen water machines produce chlorine-free water, categorized as pH 7 Kangen water. However, in my experience, a pre-filtration system is necessary to completely eliminate chlorine. So, what purposes does pH 7 Kangen water serve?

1. Baby Food Preparation: Ensure your child consumes clean water without exposure to extreme pH levels.
2. Medication Consumption: Enagic recommends using this water to swallow medication, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.

These are the primary applications for neutral pH Kangen water.

Kangen Beauty Water: Our skin naturally leans toward acidity, yet the soaps and body cleansers we commonly use tend to be alkaline, leaving us unbalanced after each shower. Enter Kangen beauty water, poised to restore equilibrium. Here’s how it can be utilized:

1. Facial Cleansing: A simple yet effective method—washing your face with water that matches your skin’s pH. Some find it hydrating, while others report soothing effects and a radiant glow.
2. Hair Care: Instead of relying solely on shampoo and conditioner, Enagic recommends using shampoo for cleaning and Kangen beauty water for conditioning. This regimen enhances shine and minimizes tangles.
3. Pet Care: Extend the benefits to your furry companions by spraying them with beauty water and brushing their fur for a clean and lustrous coat.
4. Household Polishing: Beauty water doubles as a versatile polishing agent for glass, mirrors, windows, and other surfaces, offering a simple yet effective cleaning solution.
5. Preserving Food Flavor: Before freezing, spray your food with 4 to 4.5 pH beauty water to help maintain its flavor upon thawing.

Strong Acidic Water: Serving as the antithesis to Strong Kangen Water, this pH 2.7 water is strictly for external use:

1. Surface Disinfection: Ideal for sanitizing kitchen utensils, countertops, toilet seats, doorknobs, handles, and even surgical instruments. While alcohol may suffice for personal use, some Japanese hospitals utilize strong acidic water for its disinfecting properties.
2. Personal Hygiene: Dip items like toothbrushes into strong acidic water for disinfection, or use it as a mouthwash (without swallowing) in lieu of traditional mouthwash.

While these applications showcase the versatility of Kangen Water, its most renowned use undoubtedly remains as a source of drinking water.

Is Kangen Water a Scam?

Enagic, headquartered in Japan, is the manufacturer and distributor of Kangen water machines, including in North Carolina. With a presence spanning over 30 years and offices worldwide, Enagic operates through a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) sales system.

Despite attempts by some competitors to discredit Kangen water as a scam, it remains a legitimate product. Nevertheless, these competitors often propagate misinformation and what could be described as “fake news” about Enagic and its offerings, while subtly steering consumers towards their own products.

Investing in a Kangen water machine entails paying a premium price for a premium product, as elaborated upon in the following section.

Who's Behind Water Ionizer “comparison sheets” and “Buyer’s Guides”?

Why do comparisons often pit Kangen water machines like the Leveluk SD501 or K8 against “other” water ionizers, consistently portraying the Kangen machines as either less effective or pricier, or sometimes both? Interestingly, you won’t find Enagic engaging in such comparisons with other manufacturers, suggesting they may not feel the need to. Regardless, it’s advisable to form your own conclusions.

As for Buyer Guides and Free E-Books, they warrant a separate discussion. Every water ionizer company aims to “educate” potential buyers, though it often amounts to pitching their product as the ultimate alkaline water machine.

Kangen Water Wiki and What Does Wikipedia Have To Say

While information specifically about Kangen water may be somewhat limited, there’s a wealth of resources available on water ionizers, also known as alkaline ionizers. You can find more details here. This page delves into the fundamental workings of these devices, touches on alkaline diets, notes the absence of medical evidence supporting health claims, and delves into the chemistry behind these claims. It’s rather mundane material. Just keep in mind that a human authored this content, so there may be biases at play.
