Types of Water Explained
Understanding pH Levels and Water Types from Kangen Water Machines
Introduction
Kangen Water machines can produce several types of water, each with different pH levels and intended everyday uses. Understanding these water types helps users use the machine correctly and choose settings that match their needs.
This page explains each water type in a technical and practical way, focusing on pH levels and general usage—not medical or health claims.
Understanding the pH Scale
The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is, ranging from 0 to 14:
- pH 7 → Neutral
- Below pH 7 → Acidic
- Above pH 7 → Alkaline
Kangen Water machines allow users to select different pH ranges through controlled water ionization.
Types of Water Produced by Kangen Water Machines
1. Strong Alkaline Water
Typical pH Range: ~11.0+
Common Uses:
- Cleaning food surfaces
- Degreasing kitchen items
- Removing residues
Notes:
This water type is not intended for drinking. It is commonly used for household cleaning purposes.
2. Alkaline Drinking Water
Typical pH Range: ~8.5 – 9.5
Common Uses:
- Daily drinking water
- Cooking
- Making beverages
Notes:
This is the most commonly selected setting for regular household use. Users can adjust the pH level depending on preference and machine capability.
3. Neutral Water
Typical pH Range: ~7.0
Common Uses:
- Baby formula preparation
- Taking medications
- Situations where neutral water is recommended
Notes:
Neutral water bypasses ionization and is similar to filtered water.
4. Acidic Water
Typical pH Range: ~4.0 – 6.0
Common Uses:
- Cleaning surfaces
- Rinsing produce
- General household sanitation
Notes:
Mild acidic water is often used externally or for cleaning applications.
5. Strong Acidic Water
Typical pH Range: ~2.5
Common Uses:
- Surface sanitation
- Cleaning cutting boards
- Kitchen and bathroom hygiene
Notes:
Strong acidic water is not for drinking and should be used only as directed.
Why Multiple Water Types Matter
Different water types exist because:
- pH affects cleaning ability
- Certain applications require neutral water
- Households and businesses have different daily needs
Understanding water types helps users maximize the value of the machine without misuse.
Choosing the Right Water Type for Your Needs
When using a Kangen Water machine, consider:
- Intended application (drinking vs cleaning)
- Household size
- Frequency of use
Machines with higher plate counts generally offer:
- More stable pH output
- Higher production capacity
