How Your Tap Water Becomes Kangen Water
Kangen Water® is created through a two-step process that transforms ordinary tap water into clean, hydrogen-rich, antioxidant water. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Filtration
Tap water first passes through a high-grade internal filter, which removes chlorine, unpleasant tastes, odors, and sediments as small as 5 micrometers, ensuring cleaner water.
Step 2: Electrolysis
The filtered water then moves through electrode plates and membranes, where it is split into alkaline and acidic streams. During this process, hydroxide ions (OH⁻) and hydrogen ions (H⁺) separate.
At the cathode (- charged electrode), hydrogen ions gain electrons, forming molecular hydrogen (H₂), which enhances the water’s antioxidant properties. Meanwhile, at the anode (+ charged electrode), hydroxide ions release electrons, producing oxygen (O₂) and making the water more acidic. These two types of water are separated by membranes and dispensed through different hoses.
