Kangen Water Columbia SC

What is Columbia SC Kangen Water?

Kangen Water in Columbia SC 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 Columbia and throughout the state of South 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 the sale of 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. Typically, if you require technical assistance, you should contact your sponsor. Upon purchasing the machine, Enagic will provide you with the sponsor’s contact information via email.

Given my demanding day job, I regret that I’m unable to offer support for technical inquiries (though I’m well aware of the incredible health benefits of this water).

Kangen Water Machines and Their Benefits

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

Here are a few reasons I favor Enagic’s Kangen machine:

1. Proven track record: Enagic has established a robust community of Kangen water enthusiasts over the years. Did you know it’s the most searched brand of alkaline water?

2. Japanese craftsmanship: While some may overlook this aspect, I place great value on Japanese quality standards. Having witnessed firsthand the dedication Japanese artisans put into their work, I have a heightened appreciation and longing for their products.

3. Substance over hype: A key selling point for 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 utilize mesh plates, often deemed inferior during disassembly demonstrations. This starkly illustrates the emphasis on quality, especially considering the premium price of these machines.

4. Longevity: From personal observation and online testimonials, Kangen water machines, with proper maintenance, can endure for over two decades. Conversely, I’ve encountered instances of premature malfunction with some heavily marketed alternatives.

What's Up With All Kangen Water Reviews?

With a plethora of reviews on Kangen water machines and widespread controversy across the web—both positive and negative—it becomes challenging to discern whom to trust when seeking to purchase a machine for yourself, your family, or your workplace. In today’s landscape, even reputable sources like the BBB and Consumer Reports are inundated with reviews sponsored by competitors, often disparaging the products they’re competing against.

When perusing reviews from various sources concerning a specific company like Enagic or a product such as the Kangen Water Machine, like the Leveluk 501, it’s essential to ascertain the source’s affiliations (competitor website, rival company, sales representatives promoting their own product, etc.) and consider the potential for bias.

One telltale sign to watch for is the presence of an affiliate link redirecting you to a platform like Amazon, where you might find a similar product—perhaps another water ionizer—available for purchase.

Are There Health Benefits To Drinking Kangen Water?

Despite the abundance of information, both accurate and misleading, regarding the advantages of exclusively switching to Kangen water, one fact remains unequivocal: it does not cure any diseases. Anyone asserting otherwise is not being truthful. While in certain cases this water may assist specific individuals in overcoming serious health issues like cancer, it unequivocally does not serve as a “cure-all” for cancer or any other ailment, regardless of its severity.

In terms of reported benefits, numerous individuals claim that after consistently consuming this water at recommended quantities (minimum of 0.5 gallon or about 2 liters per day) for over a week, they observe improvements such as:

– Enhanced mental clarity
– Sustainable energy boosts without subsequent crashes (unlike energy drinks)
– Improved quality and duration of sleep
– Enhanced hydration (due to the body’s superior absorption of Kangen water)
– Healthier skin with a radiant glow
– Thicker hair for individuals previously experiencing thinning or other issues

While these benefits may not necessarily be strictly health-related, they contribute to an overall enhancement in lifestyle.

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 possesses intriguing properties and finds utility in:

– Cleaning: An alternative to chemical household cleaners, it effectively cleans kitchen counters, stovetops, and other greasy or soiled surfaces.
– Food Cleaning and Preparation: Its distinctive characteristics make it ideal for removing oil-based pesticides from store-bought fruits and vegetables, as will be demonstrated in an accompanying video.
– Stain Removal: Effective for carpets, rugs, upholstery, hard surfaces, and even clothing, although it’s not a suitable replacement for bleach.

Kangen Water for Drinking – The focus often revolves around this type of water produced by Kangen machines, with a pH range between 8.5 and 9.5, offering benefits such as:

– Hydration: Consuming water in an amount equivalent to one’s body weight in ounces daily is recommended for optimal hydration. For instance, a person weighing 150 lbs should aim to drink 150 oz (1.17 gallons) daily.
– Culinary Use: It enhances the flavor and quality of soups, broths, stews, homemade sauces, and serves well for pre-cooking certain foods that require boiling.
– Beverages: Kangen drinking water can be utilized for preparing a variety of beverages, from lemonade to coffee and tea. Notably, coffee and tea brewed with Kangen water yield stronger flavors due to its smaller molecular size, as demonstrated in an upcoming video.
– Plant Watering: Despite conventional wisdom favoring acidic water for plants, Enagic’s website suggests that plants thrive on Kangen drinking water. It’s advisable to conduct a test before adopting it for plant care.

Neutral, Clean Water – While Enagic’s website touts this type of water from Kangen machines as “Free of chlorine,” in practice, residual chlorine may remain, necessitating the use of a pre-filtration system to eliminate it. So, what purpose does pH 7 Kangen water serve?

– Baby Food Preparation: Provides clean water for infant feeding without introducing excessive pH levels.
– Medication Ingestion: Enagic recommends using this water to administer medications to avoid potential adverse reactions.

These are the primary applications for neutral pH Kangen water.

Kangen Beauty Water – Our skin naturally tends to be slightly acidic, yet the soaps and body gels we commonly use for cleansing are alkaline. This imbalance post-shower is where Kangen beauty water steps in to restore equilibrium. Here’s how it can be utilized:

– Facial Cleansing: Using water with a pH close to that of your skin for washing your face is a simple yet effective practice. Some find it hydrating, while others appreciate its soothing properties and the resulting radiant glow.
– Hair Care: In tandem with shampoo, Kangen beauty water can serve as a conditioning agent, imparting extra shine to your hair and minimizing tangling.
– Pet Grooming: Extending the benefits to your furry friends, spraying them with beauty water and brushing their coats can help maintain their cleanliness and luster.
– Surface Polishing: Beauty water reportedly works wonders for polishing glass, mirrors, windows, and similar surfaces, offering yet another practical application.
– Food Preservation: Spraying food with beauty water with a pH of 4 to 4.5 prior to freezing is believed to help retain its flavor for longer, a handy tip for culinary enthusiasts.

Strong Acidic Water – In stark contrast to Strong Kangen Water, this variant with a pH of 2.7 is strictly not for ingestion. However, its uses include:

– Surface Disinfection: Ideal for sterilizing kitchen knives, countertops, toilet seats, door knobs, handles, and even surgical instruments. While alcohol remains a preferred choice for personal use, some hospitals in Japan utilize strong acidic water for sterilization purposes.
– Personal Hygiene: Submerging items like toothbrushes in strong acidic water can effectively disinfect them. Additionally, in the absence of mouthwash, it can be used as a gargle solution, with the caveat of ensuring it is not ingested.

While these applications highlight the versatility of Kangen Water, its most popular usage undoubtedly remains as drinking water.

Is Kangen Water a Scam?

Enagic, a Japanese-based company, is the manufacturer and distributor of Kangen water machines, including those available in South Carolina.

With a global presence and over 30 years of operation, Enagic employs a sales system known as MLM (Multi-Level Marketing).

Despite attempts by some of Enagic’s competitors to discredit Kangen water as a scam, the reality is quite different. Enagic and its products are legitimate, although competitors often resort to spreading misinformation akin to “fake news” while subtly promoting their own products.

Investing in a Kangen water machine entails paying a premium price for a premium product, a point I’ll delve into further below.

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

Why do we often see comparisons between Kangen water machines like the Leveluk SD501 or K8 and other water ionizers, with the Kangen machines seemingly portrayed as either inferior in performance, more expensive, or both? Interestingly, Enagic, the manufacturer of Kangen machines, rarely engages in such comparative analyses with other manufacturers. Perhaps they feel they don’t need to. Regardless, it’s prudent to form your own conclusions.

As for buyer guides and free e-books, this is a separate matter altogether. Every water ionizer company seeks to “inform” potential consumers, but in reality, their aim is often to persuade you to invest in what they tout as the ultimate alkaline water machine.

Kangen Water Wiki and What Does Wikipedia Have To Say

There’s not an abundance of specific information available on Kangen water, but there’s a fair amount regarding water ionizers, also known as alkaline ionizers. You can find more details here. The page discusses the fundamentals of how these devices produce water, touches on alkaline diets, acknowledges the absence of medical evidence supporting health claims, and delves into the chemistry and associated health assertions. It’s rather mundane material. It’s crucial to bear in mind that this content was authored by individuals who may or may not have biases.
