Is Kangen Water Worth the Price

The Pros and Cons of Kangen water: Is it worth the price?

side effects alkaline water

Kangen water is the brand name for alkaline water made by Enagic’s Kangen Water machine. The Kangen

Water machine is promoted by Enagic with the claim: “Change your water, change your life.” But the machine costs nearly $4,000, roughly twice as much as competing ionizers.

Does Kangen Water actually change your life enough to be worth twice what you’d pay for comparable water ionizers?

Here are the pros and cons of Kangen water. Save thousands over Kangen! Compare Life to Kangen.

The pros of Kangen Water

Kangen water is antioxidant alkaline water, which is good for your health. The Kangen machine is capable of reaching a pH of 10, without chemicals, which is fine for daily consumption. You can reach higher pH levels with the Kangen machine, but you have to add chemicals to do so.

Some of the chemicals you can spike your Kangen water with raise the pH of the water, but they also make the water toxic, so you can’t drink it. This type of Kangen water is called “Strong” Kangen water by Enagic, and it’s used only for cleaning, it has no other use.

The cons of Kangen water

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Kangen water is the most expensive alkaline water on the market. At a pH of 10, Kangen water simply doesn’t have enough acid-fighting alkalinity to tackle the toughest health problems, and athletes looking to improve their performance would also be better served with a more powerful machine. A Life Ionizer MXL7 costs about half as much as a Kangen machine and it reaches higher pH and antioxidant ORP levels. So the bargain-priced MXL7 definitely makes healthier alkaline water than the Kangen machine.

Weak filtration

The Kangen machine has only a single filter, and it’s inadequate for dealing with many of the toxins found in tap water. In fact, because of shortcomings with the filter, the Kangen machine just might change your life – for the worse. The filter in the Kangen machine doesn’t reduce levels of heavy metals or salt. This means that if a heavy metal like lead is found in your water (lead contamination in the US is widespread) then that lead will be in your Kangen water.

Underpowered

One of the main selling points Enagic representatives use to promote the Kangen machine is that it has large plates. The problem is that the machine doesn’t have enough power for those large plates. The lack of power is why the Kangen machine struggles to reach over a pH of 10, and why some people have to add calcium glycerophosphate (a drug compound) to their Kangen machine to get acceptable pH levels.

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)

One of the questions you hear all the time about the Kangen machine is: “Why is it so expensive?” The reason the Kangen machine is very expensive is that it’s sold through multi-level marketing (MLM). This kind of marketing makes things more expensive than they should be because a whole lot of people get paid commissions anytime a product is sold through MLM.

Enagic tries to justify the high price of their machine by claiming that it takes a lot of platinum to coat its plates. But it takes more platinum to coat the plates in a Life Ionizer MXL9, yet the MXL9 is $2,597, which is $1,383 cheaper than the $3,980 Kangen machine. MLM marketing makes the Kangen machine roughly twice as expensive as it should be.

Yes, the Kangen machine can change your life – for the worse

The ionized alkaline water made by a Kangen machine might be able to change your health for the better – if it doesn’t contain any heavy metals like lead from your water supply. But it will definitely leave your finances decidedly less healthy. Enagic representatives claim that you can earn you money back if you sell Kangen machines, but what they don’t tell you is that less than 1% of people who try multi-level marketing ever succeed at it. Selling Kangen machines could leave your relationships unhealthy too. Enagic urges you to market the machine to friends and family, but who likes getting (or giving) a hard sales pitch? If you want the health benefits of ionized alkaline water, you are better off avoiding the high-priced Kangen machine
