Pre-Filtering Your Water

Since our Kangen machine isn’t specifically a filtration system & is more focused on the molecular hydrogen, antioxidant, and structured water qualities, we decided we wanted a custom pre-filtration system designed for our home.

Everyone’s water quality is a little different so it will take some work to understand what is needed for your source water.

QUESTIONS TO ASK:
Is your water hard or soft?
What kinds of contaminants are in it?
Are you renting or do you own your home?
Are you looking for a whole home filtration system or just one in your kitchen?
Are there radioactive materials in your water supply?

The answers to these questions will determine what is needed for your custom pre-filtration setup.

First off, it’s good to check what poisons & radioactive materials are in your water by searching with your zip code here: https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/

Well water will need to be tested independently. Usually these tests are pretty basic so I recommend getting the most thorough inspection that you can.

Pre-Filtration

I’ve included several different water pre-filtration options depending on what you need for your area. We personally use the IonFaucet remineralizing system with some PureEffects anti-radiation filters added.

Ion Faucet also has some amazing sink & plumbing accessories that can help you simply & beautifully hook up your new ionizer machine to your pre-filtration system. We have used their faucet adapters in the past but would really recommend one of their specialty faucets to make your kitchen set up clean!

My local store uses the MultiPure Pre-filtration on their machines in their water-share business. You can see in the video above how regular, purified RO water has a positive ORP while Kangen water has a very negative ORP. This is important because ORP stands for Oxidative Reduction Potential. This is the ability of a substance to oxidize another substance- in this case it’s your cells!

We want to keep our cells healthy & rejuvenating- not rusting out like an old car would…(essentially that happens on a cellular level!)

Reverse Osmosis is a great pre-filtration set up if you’re planning on activating your water afterwards with the ionizer, but is not great on it’s own. If you want to know more about ORP & the scientific properties of the water, I highly recommend jumping into the below resource page. I’ve collected hundreds upon hundreds of studies, books, PDFs, & even a FREE Water Mini-Course!

60+ Uses For Medical Grade Water Machines

EVERYDAY USES OF KANGEN WATER

 ENCOURAGING SUSTAINABILITY, HEALTH & AFFORDABILITY

SKIN CONDITION REMEDIES: 

Acne: 
1. Rinse with pH 11.5 Strong Alkaline Water to remove excess oils from the skin. 2. Cleanse with non-soap cleanser and pH 4-6 Mild Acidic Water. 3. With a cotton swab dab pH 2.5 Strong Acidic Water on any active blemishes or broken skin. 4. Tone with pH 4-6 Water in a glass bottle with a fine spray mister. 5. Repeat morning and bedtime. 6. Tone multiple times per day to keep skin hydrated. 

Eczema and Psoriasis: 
1. Rinse with pH 11.5 Strong Alkaline Water to remove excess oils from the skin. 2. Cleanse with non-soap cleanser and pH 4-6 MildAcidic Water. 3. With a cotton swab dab 2.5 Strong Acid Water on any broken skin. 4. Tone with 5.5 Beauty Water in a glass bottle with a fine spray mister. 5. Repeat morning and bedtime. 6. Tone multiple times per day to keep skin hydrated. 

Rashes and Burns: 
1. Rinse with pH 11.5 Strong Alkaline Water to remove excess oils from the skin. 2. Cleanse with non-soap cleanser and pH 4-5 Mild Acidic Water. 3. With a cotton swab dab 2.5 Strong Acid Water on any broken skin. 4. Tone with pH 4-6 Mild Acidic Water in a glass bottle with a fine spray mister. 5. Repeat morning and bedtime. 6. Tone multiple times per day to keep skin hydrated. 

Diaper Rash: 
1. Cleanse with non-soap cleanser and pH 4-5 Mild Acidic Water & pat dry. 2. With a cotton swab dab 2.5 Strong Acid Water on any broken skin and let dry. 3. Hydrate the skin with pH 4-6 Mild Acidic Water in a glass bottle with a fine spray mist setting. 4. Repeat after each diaper change. Diaper rash begins with urine and feces that are too acidic. To prevent diaper rash begin by making certain that your baby is properly hydrated with pH 8.5-9.5 Alkaline Drinking Water. Next replace baby wipes with a container filled with soft cloths or unbleached paper towels and Mild Acidic Water. Use to cleanse diaper area each time you change your baby, pat dry and then apply a very fine mist to the skin. This assists in keeping the pH of the skin balanced. 

Caution—Step Away From The Antiperspirant: Sweat is one of your body’s natural methods for ridding itself of toxins, so stopping that natural function can create a serious backlash in your lymphatic system. Odors are simply bacteria thriving in the dark, damp area. So to stop the odor simply mist with pH 2.5 Strong Acid Water. If you tend to sweat a lot keep a small spray bottle in your purse or desk drawer for occasional touch ups throughout the day.  

11.5PH WATER STRONG KANGEN

1. GOOD NIGHT SLEEP: Drink 1/2-1 ounce of 11.5 before bedtime to help release Melatonin for a great night sleep

  GETTING STARTED DRINKING KANGEN™ WATER

It is recommended that everyone who chooses to drink Kangen™ water start by drinking the 8.5 pH water. This Kangen™ water is obtained by pushing the blue button on the front of the machine. Multiple pushes will move you through the three different levels of the Kangen™ water that are produced. This water is dispensed through the TOP flexible hose. Drink at least ½ of your body weight in ounces each day. If you do physically demanding work, participate in strenuous athletics, or are dealing with “sickness issues”...you need to drink more Kangen™ water to help your body move towards and achieve homeostasis. In these situations, it is recommended that you drink at least ¾ of your body weight in ounces, and drinking 1 ounce per pound of body weight per day produces real “miracles”. It is my observation that those people who drink a minimum of ¾ of their body weight in ounces of Kangen™ water per day see the quickest results. After successfully drinking the suggested amount of 8.5 pH water for two weeks (“successfully” means that you are not experiencing any discomfort while drinking the water...other than frequency of urination), then you may choose to increase the water pH level up to the 9.0 pH setting. Continue drinking the suggested amount of water at this setting each day for at least two more weeks. After successfully drinking the suggested amount of 9.0 pH water (again meaning that you are not experiencing any discomfort while drinking the water other than frequency of urination) then you may choose to increase the water pH level up to the 9.5 pH setting. 

CLEANSING SYMPTOMS

Occasionally we find people that experience “cleansing” symptoms. These are typically caused by the body releasing stored toxins and acidic wastes. If you experience any “cleansing” types of symptoms (such as headaches, skin eruptions, loose bowels, coughing, etc.) when you start on the 8.5 pH water, then you should increase the amount of water you are drinking to help neutralize and flush the toxins from your system. If you experience these symptoms after increasing the pH of the water you are consuming, then go back to the last pH setting that you were able to drink without experiencing these symptoms and increase the amount of water that you consume until these symptoms stop. If the reaction gets too severe, one should back off of the pH but INCREASE the volume of water ingested.

Eco-Friendly Solution To The Plastic Crisis

I’m sure you’ve already noticed that our world has become overrun by plastic products. They are virtually everywhere at this point & are something I recommend my clients become more aware of reducing in their personal environments.

Not only is plastic destroying our planet from an environmental standpoint but the components of plastic have been proven to be poisons that disrupt proper hormonal function.

Take an inventory of the amount of plastic you use on a daily basis & see where you could limit exposure. For example, take your own fabric bags to the grocery store & choose to use a norwex bath cloth instead of buying a big plastic jug of body wash next time you’re in need.

If you have never looked into what is in your tap water supply, you can do that here at the Environmental Working Group Water Database.

REASONS TO AVOID BOTTLED WATER

By far the easiest way to reduce daily plastic exposure is by discontinuing the purchasing & consumption of bottled water. Not only will you reduce a major amount of toxins, but you will also save tons of money by doing this as well! Most bottled water is just tap water bottled & sold to consumers. The bottles are causing hormonal & reproductive harm but the water inside is also just dead, contaminated water that’s been baking under the sun inside delivery trucks & warehouses.

If you have never looked into what is in your tap water supply, you can do that here at the Environmental Working Group Water Database. We all need a legit solution to the toxic crisis that is on our hands & in our homes.

Pollution

• The entire life cycle of bottled water uses fossil fuels, contributes to global warming, and causes pollution.

• More than 17 million barrels of oil are required to produce enough plastic water bottles to meet America’s annual demand for bottled water. - Earth-policy.org, “Bottled Water: Pouring Resources Down the Drain”

• “According to the Container Recycling Institute, 86 percent of plastic water bottles used in the United States become garbage or litter.” - Earth-policy.org, “Bottled Water: Pouring Resources Down the Drain”

COST SAVINGS

Cost

• Bottled water is about 3,000 percent more expensive per gallon than tap water.

• Tap water: $0.02 per gallon

• Bottled water: $0.64 per gallon

- Harvard Engineering and Utilities and Poland Springs

MYTH: Bottled Water is Purer than Tap Water

• “Bottled water generally is no cleaner, or safer, or healthier than tap water. In fact, the federal government requires far more rigorous and frequent safety testing and monitoring of municipal drinking water.” -foodandwaterwatch.org, “Take Back the Tap"

HEALTH FACTORS

Check out this shocking documentary showing the dangers of plastics on the developmental systems of humans & animals. If this doesn’t convince you to lessen your exposure to plastic products & improve your water quality, I don’t know what else will!

Years ago, my family committed to stopping buying single water bottles at convenience stores & big packs at the grocery store. Instead, we invested in a high-quality system that hooks up to our kitchen faucet & provides the highest quality, antioxidant-rich water we were able to find.

We use reusable stainless steel bottles & tumblers so we always have water on the go. We now never have to spend money on water again, besides basic system & filter maintenance when needed. We can even take our water on airplanes & through TSA, since it comes from a true medical device!

It’s really been a blessing for keeping our family in the healthiest & most financially stable way long term.

Anti-Aging Hydration Basics

WATER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBSTANCE IN THE WORLD…

BUT NOT ALL WATER IS CREATED EQUAL.

INTRODUCING KANGEN WATER, A REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY THAT CHANGES YOUR BODY FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

---

WHAT IS KANGEN WATER?

Kangen water is electronically reduced, hydrogen rich performance drinking water. Kangen machines produce 5 types of alkalized ionized water. Kangen drinking water ranges from 8.5-9.5 pH depending on the type of water you SELECT.

PROPERTIES OF KANGEN WATER

ANTI-OXIDATION

The human body naturally produces free radicals and antioxidants to counteract their damaging effects. However, in most cases, free radicals far outnumber naturally occurring antioxidants. Antioxidants benefit the body by neutralizing and removing free radicals from the bloodstream.

ALKALANIZATION

Alkalized water helps balance the body’s pH, which tends to be acidic because of our high acid food diet, stress and exposure to environmental toxins such as smog. Alkalize your body pH from acidic to alkaline pH, because cancer and many other illnesses cannot live in alkaline environments.

RICH IN ACTIVE MOLECULAR HYDROGEN + NEGATIVE ORP

Simply put, active hydrogen molecules neutralize active oxygen (free radicals) in your body that cause aging and disease. The more free radicals we neutralize, the more toxins we can effectively flush from our system.

HERE’S JUST A FEW STUDIES ON HYDROGREN-RICH ELECTROLIZED REDUCED WATER

Skin pH + Beauty Water

Did you know your skin has a certain ph that makes it thrive?

⁣I use a specific filtered, slightly acidic water called “Beauty Water” that comes right from our anti-aging water machine & is GREAT for toning & firming skin.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🚿Dermal absorption (the transport of a chemical from the outer surface of the skin to the inside of the body) is one of the most significant exposure pathways of chemicals & toxins. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🦠Once these chemicals (#pesticides, #chlorine, #fluoride, etc) are absorbed, they enter the bloodstream & spread throughout the cells of the body.⁣⁣

This can lead to horrible issues & side effects such as:⁣⁣⁣
😵Cancer⁣⁣⁣
🤰🏼Infertility⁣⁣⁣
❤️Heart disease⁣⁣⁣
🌬Asthma⁣⁣⁣
☄️Dermatitis & more⁣⁣⁣

Not only are these chemicals we absorb into our skin straight up poison, but tap water is also too alkaline for optimal bacterial flora.

In fact, optimal skin pH & the water you use on your skin should be slightly acidic✨(between 4.0-6.0) ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✏️“The effect of pH on adhesion of resident skin microflora was also assessed; an acid skin pH (4-4.5) keeps the resident bacterial flora attached to the skin, whereas an alkaline pH (8-9) promotes the dispersal from the skin.” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18489300)⁣⁣⁣
⁣

This specific water is not only AMAZING for washing your face but I also use it for:⁣⁣⁣
👼🏼Diaper rash spray⁣⁣⁣
💁🏼‍♀️Face toner⁣⁣⁣
🧖🏼‍♀️Hair rinse & detangler⁣⁣⁣
🐶Washing our doggies⁣⁣⁣
🍲Cooking beans (speeds up cooking time!)⁣⁣⁣
🥚Boiling eggs⁣⁣⁣
🌱Watering plants⁣
🧊Polishing glass, mirrors, eyeglasses⁣⁣⁣
And so much more.⁣⁣

This machine has not only upgraded our health in an infinite amount of ways, but also makes us live a less waste lifestyle by not buying so many products.
