The water dispensed from Enagic®’s products vary in pH depending on the setting. The Leveluk K8 provides the ability to change the water to seven different levels of pH ranging from pH 2.5 - pH 11.5 simply from your running tap water and its LCD panel. Click here to learn about how it does this. As a result, there are a number of uses this water can provide beyond just drinking water, replacing a number of household items from beauty, health, cooking, gardening, and cleaning products. Below are the 5 types of water and their uses.

11.5 pH - STRONG KANGEN WATER

pH 11.5 water acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and emulsifier. As a result, it is great for relieving pain from any joint or muscle inflammation or swelling, as well as removing all oil-based pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides from our organic and non-organic fruits and vegetables. This water is not for drinking. Below are a variety of uses for our pH 11.5 Strong Kangen Water®:

DETOX: Soak your feet in pH 11.5 water for 20 minutes one or more times a week to aid your body’s detoxification process.
HOT BATH SOAK: Add 1 gallon (approximately 4 liters) just before the end of filling the tub. This can replace epsom salts and other remedies (works best if tub is filled with Enagic®’s Anespa).
MAKE UP REMOVER: Spray on closed eyes and face to dissolve and remove make up.
EYE WASH: Rinse eyes using an eye cup. After removing the eye cup from its packaging, soak it in Strong Acidic Water (pH 2.5) for 1-2 minutes to clean and disinfect. Then rinse the eye cup thoroughly with pH 11.5 water. Fill the cup and place firmly around one eye. While keeping your eye open, tilt your head back and gently roll your eye as though you were attempting to look up, down, and from side to side. Continue for approximately 1 minute. To rinse other eye, toss the water away. and repeat steps for your other eye. To maintain healthy eyes, follow this protocol 1-3 times per week. When working to improve an eye condition, follow this protocol at least 2 times daily and up to 10 times per day.
GOOD NIGHT SLEEP: Drink 1/2-1 ounce of pH 11.5 water before bedtime to help release melatonin.
PUFFY EYES: Spray on to eyes to reduce puffiness.
GREASE IN EYE: Spray as needed to sooth the eye.
MIGRAINES: Drink several ounces as soon as you feel migraine coming on.
DIGESTION: Drink 1 ounce (30ml) of pH 11.5 water 45 minutes before meals to enhance digestion. Don’t drink anything during the meal and 30 minutes after.
HEART BURN, INDIGESTION, FOOD POISONING, STOMACH FLU: Drink 1⁄4 cup of FRESH pH 11.5 water immediately followed by 25 ounces of Kangen Water® (pH 9.5) then do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes. Repeat the next day only if necessary.
ALLERGIES, COLD SYMPTOMS, SNORING: Use as a nasal wash when sinuses are plugged. The reduction of inflammation in the nasal passage reduces snoring.
BUG SPRAY REPELLENT, SUNBURN, PAIN, BUG BITES, SWELLING: Spray or soak areas of the body with a towel soaked in pH 11.5 water and keep wet by adding small amounts of pH 11.5 water to the towel for a minimum of 30 minutes twice a day (recommended 1 hour, twice daily).
ARTHRITIS, GOUT, MUSCLE SORENESS, TISSUE INJURIES: Soak in pH 11.5 water to remove acids associated with inflammation, injury, and pain. This works since high alkalinity draws out acids.
CHEMOTHERAPY: Drinking the water with chemotherapy lessens side effects and reverses metabolic acidosis. The antioxidants are good at any point during chemotherapy. Apply pH 11.5 water to the skin twice a day for burns from chemotherapy.

pH 8.5 - 9.5 - KANGEN WATER

pH 8.5 - 9.5 water is the drinking water that hydrates the body on a deep, cellular level as it repairs cells. It works to restore your body to a more alkaline state, which is optimal for good health. It is recommended to start drinking pH 8.5 until your body detoxifies (for approximately two weeks) before transitioning to the pH 9.0 followed by the pH 9.5 water. Below are a variety of uses for our pH 8.5 - 9.5 Kangen Water®:

WEIGHT LOSS: Drink before snacking and meals. Wait 30 minutes before eating. A lot of people confuse hunger for dehydration. Drinking pH 9.5 water improves hydration and eliminates feelings of "false" hunger.
GREY HAIR: Drinking often results in the return of original hair color due to the cells repairing.
VISION: Can improve eye vision.
SPIDER VEINS: Drinking pH 9.5 water over time induces and aids cell repair, thus improving spider veins.
PROTEIN SHAKES: Use to make protein shakes. Dissolves the powder more rapidly and absorbs the nutrients more effectively.
SOUPS: Cook all soups with pH 9.5 water to bring out flavors.
STIR FRY: Stir fry with pH 9.5 water to steam to bring out flavors.
COFFEE/TEA: Make coffee and tea with pH 9.5 water to increase flavors, colors, nutritional value, and decrease the acidity of coffee.
COOKING: Use as cooking liquid for potatoes, grains, dried beans or peas, pasta, etc. to increase flavor and alkalinity.
BROTH: Use as the cooking liquid for broth to extract the maximum vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and meats.
PLANTS: Water seedlings or sick plants.
FLOWERS: Use for cut flowers in vases to prolong their fresh appearance.
AROMA THERAPY/SPRITZER: Diffuse any herb (like rosemary or lavender) in a spray bottle filled with pH 9.5 water. Let it set for a couple of hours, then use for aroma therapy as an air freshener.
DRINKING WATER: As mentioned above, it is recommended to start by drinking pH 8.5 water for two weeks before progressing. This water is dispensed through the TOP flexible hose. Drink at least 1⁄2 of your body weight in ounces each day. Kangen Water® is high in molecular hydrogen, antioxidants, and minerals. It improves health at every level by hydrating and repairing each cell of the body down to its DNA.
- For athletes, individuals doing physically demanding work, and those recovering from sickness: drink at least 3⁄4 of your body weight in ounces each day to promote body homeostasis.
- If you do not experience any "discomfort" you can increase the water pH to 9.0 and drink pH 9.0 water for two weeks.
- If you do not experience any "discomfort" you can increase the water pH to 9.5. Every cell in your body will be grateful for the hydration and healing boost you provide them each time you drink.
  **Note: frequency of urination should not be considered as "discomfort". Since your body is detoxing, it is important to keep drinking in order to flush out toxins and waste.
- TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH WATER YOUR BODY NEEDS—
  - Convert weight into pounds (lbs).
  - Divide weight (lbs) by 2.
  - Convert that number to ounces.
  - Example: a person weighing 150 lbs would need 75 ounces of water to properly hydrate.

CLEANSING SYMPTOMS

Typically cleansing symptoms are caused by the body releasing stored toxins and acidic waste. They may include: headaches, skin eruptions, loose bowels, or coughing.

If you experience cleansing symptoms on the pH 8.5 water, increase the amount of water you are drinking to help neutralize and flush the toxins from your system.
If you are experiencing 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, back off of the pH but increase the volume of water ingested.

pH 7.0 - CLEAN WATER

pH 7.0 water is a drinking water that is safe for infants, children, and anyone taking time-sensitive or time-release medications.
