What Is Kangen Water?

Kangen water is ionized alkaline water produced by Enagic’s kangen water machines. Kangen machines use a process called electrolysis to produce this hydrogen and antioxidant rich water. That’s the gist of it.

Now that it’s out of the way, here’s a quick intro to the concept of alkaline water and talk specifically about it’s benefits.

In case you were wondering, Kangen Water is NOT a scam. Enagic is an alkaline water ionizer producer based in Japan, who uses Multi Level Marketing as their sales system. This is how people who purchase a machine can become distributors and then sell those machines and earn a commission from their sales. They can also build a team and treat it as a business.

I personally learned about it after reading this kangen water website, where they talk about a variety of benefits, and I felt like I would really enjoy drinking this water. Low and behold, I was RIGHT!

There are many testimonials out there talking about this water, but there are also a ton of competitors who like to bash the company, so if you ever read about Enagic or Kangen Water online, make sure you understand what bias the writer might have and whether or not they are trying to sell you a different water ionizer machine. I for example, love the water and own a Kangen machine, so that’s my bias.

All I want to do is spread the work about this amazing water and let as many people as possible know that it’s out there.

One of the ways kangen water helps your body, is by making it more alkaline, rather than acidic. Just FYI, cancer cells and tumors are acidic according to this article.

Here’s a little chart paint a picture about acidity and alkalinity:

Kangen Water Benefits

So, about the kangen water benefits… Below are a few that I and others have experienced:

• Increased hydration
• Ease of drinking kangen water
• Better sleep
• Increased energy
• Cleansing after about a month of use
• Detoxification
• Mind Clarity

And much more!

One of the most common ways for distributors to promote the machines is to set up a live presentation, there are also many videos online, I’ll post one below for you to check out.

During these presentations, folks will show you different tests performed on the water and gather readings such as ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) with an ORP meter.

Here’s a quick explainer video where they touch on cancer:

Kangen Water Machines

There are various types of Kangen water machines available on the O‘ahu, Hawaii market, which can range from low-end models that cost a few thousand dollars to high-end models that can run into multiple thousands of dollars. Most of Enagic’s line-up consists of Leveluk K8, which is the top of the line home use machine. The SD501 and SD501 Platinum, which are the most well known ones, due to their time-tested technology and durability.

The SD501U which is the under-counter version that’s super convenient and finally the biggest and the baddest, the commercial grade Leveluk Super 501 beast of a machine, which has the most platinum-coated plates! A lot of the information about Enagic’s water ionizers came from multiple sources, which do a deep dive into the Kangen machines and their benefits. Learn more about each of these machines below.

Leveluk K8 & SD501

Now that you know about kangen water and have a better understanding of it’s benefits, let’s talk about the machines.

The top residential-use machines are Leveluk K8 and Leveluk SD501. Both are fantastic devices.

Leveluk K8

Leveluk K8 is currently the top of the line home-use machine. It looks great, has several handy features like a touch screen, auto shut-off, multiple languages, extra platinum-coated titanium plate and much more. Leveluk K8 costs around $5000 and is Enagic’s top of the line water ionizer.

Pros:

• Clean design
• Extra languages
• Higher water flow rate
• Has 8 platinum-coated plates

Cons:

• Higher Price

Leveluk SD501

Leveluk SD501 was Enagic’s flagship machine, until they brought K8 to the market. This is the OG.

It has a more “medical” look and design, and is the machine that lots of celebrities have. Leveluk SD 501 cost right around $4000, so there’s a significant difference in price between the two machines.

Pros:

• Lower price
• Produces great kangen water
• Tried and true

Cons:

• Less attractive design that K8
• Only has 7 platinum-coated plates

Personally, our family has the SD501, but certainly understand why people would get the K8.

SD501 Platinum & SD501U

There are several variants of the SD501 machine that are currently for sale. Each one is meant for a different setting.

The SD501 Platinum has the same interior components and functionality, but on the outside it looks much different. The idea behind this new design was to match the stainless steel look of high end kitchen appliances and have some uniformity, otherwise the SD501 would stick out like a sore thumb.

The SD501U on the other hand is completely different. The idea was to create a high quality water ionizer for smaller kitchens, which is exactly what SD501U is. It’s a standard SD501 base with the same specs, but it comes equipped with a faucet and a display to select the type of water. This model is most commonly purchased for smaller apartments and condos, where kitchens tend to have less countertop real estate.

Super 501 & JR Models

These models are very different and some would even call them polar opposites.

The Super 501 is the biggest and most powerful machine that Enagic makes. It’s advertised as a large family or commercial model, and it certainly fits the bill. It’s able to produce 2 alkaline streams of water at the same time, since it has 12 platinum coated ionization plates, which is almost double of SD501. If you have a very large family or will use it for commercial purposes, you can’t go wrong with the best that is Super 501.

As for Leveluk JR IV, I’m not really sure why they make it, since it is not able to produce water that is as potent as SD501 for example. It has the least amount of plates out of any machine in the lineup, but it still costs a couple thousand dollars. So even though I understand that not everyone can afford a higher end machine, I’d still recommend going with at least the SD501 and get the most benefits!
