Different Types of Water
Understanding the various types of drinking water is essential for making informed choices about your health and well-being. Here's a concise overview:
Tap Water
- Source: Municipal supply, regulated for safety.
- Characteristics: May contain chlorine and sediments; taste varies by location.
- Considerations: Affordable and accessible; however, some prefer additional filtration to improve taste and reduce potential contaminants.
With an Enagic Kangen Water machine, your tap water will not only become delicious by filtering unwanted sediment and residues, it will also gain the beneficial property of being rich in molecular hydrogen, a potent anti-oxidant!

Bottled Water
- Source: Varies; can be from springs, wells, or even municipal sources.
- Characteristics: Often contains added minerals; quality and pH levels differ between brands.
- Considerations: More expensive than tap water; environmental concerns due to plastic waste and resource use.
Bottled water is often perceived as a healthier choice, yet it costs significantly more than tap water without guaranteed benefits. While many assume it to be superior, the main difference is often the addition of minerals, which have no scientifically proven health advantages.
A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that one-third of tested bottled water contained contamination levels exceeding permissible limits. Additionally, some bottled water is slightly acidic, which may disrupt the body’s natural pH balance. Beyond health concerns, the environmental impact of plastic bottle production and waste disposal poses a serious threat to the ecosystem.

Equivalent to 5 grocery bags per every foot of coastline around the globe!
Distilled Water
- Source: Produced through distillation, removing impurities and minerals.
- Characteristics: Lacks minerals, which may affect taste and nutritional value.
- Considerations: Useful for specific applications like medical devices; not typically recommended for regular consumption due to absence of beneficial minerals.
Well Water
- Source: Private underground wells.
- Characteristics: Mineral content varies; potential for contamination from environmental factors.
- Considerations: Requires regular testing and maintenance to ensure safety and quality.
Kangen Water®
- Source: Produced by Enagic's water ionization systems.
- Characteristics: Ionized, alkaline water rich in molecular hydrogen; available in various pH levels for diverse uses.
- Considerations: Offers potential health benefits; can be used for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and beauty applications.
Return to origin with drinking water that is clean, free of pollutants, containing healthy minerals and has a positive pH level.
