Most people know the Kangen Water Ioniser for its alkaline drinking water. What surprises many Singapore families is that the same machine produces four other distinct types of water, each with a different pH and a different purpose in the home.
Between the five outputs, you can reduce your reliance on chemical cleaning products, support healthier skin, and upgrade your daily cooking, all from a single appliance on your kitchen counter.
Here is a breakdown of what each type does and when to use it.
In this article:
Kangen Water (pH 8.5–9.5)
This is the alkaline, ionised water the machine is built around. It is the output you will use most, for drinking, cooking, and daily hydration throughout the household.
Kangen Water has three defining properties: antioxidation, alkalinity, and micro-clustering. Read more about each property here.
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has recognised Kangen Water Ionisers as medical devices, making Enagic one of the very few water ioniser manufacturers in the world to hold this certification.
- Daily drinking water for every member of the household, consistently throughout the day
- Coffee, tea, and hot drinks : the alkaline pH brings out fuller, richer flavour with noticeably less bitterness
- Cooking soups, stews, and grains to draw out more nutrients and depth from your ingredients
- Supplements and herbal preparations - the smaller molecular cluster size supports faster absorption into the body
Clean Water (pH 7.0)
Neutral-pH filtered water, produced without electrolysis. This is the right output for situations where ionised water is not ideal.
- Western medications : neutral water ensures the medication is not affected by alkalinity
- Infant formula : neutral pH is recommended for preparing formula milk for babies
Beauty Water (pH 4.0–6.0)
Slightly acidic and entirely chemical-free. The skin's natural pH sits between 4.5 and 5.5, so Beauty Water is well-suited as a daily skincare step, working with your skin's natural barrier rather than against it.
- Facial toner : apply after cleansing to gently tighten pores and leave skin feeling fresh and balanced
- Hair rinse : rinse after shampooing to add shine and softness
- Long-term skin support : many Singapore users report calmer, clearer skin with consistent daily use
- Pasta and fried batters : cooking in Beauty Water produces a noticeably firmer, more fragrant result
Strong Kangen Water (pH 11.5)
The most alkaline output. At this pH, the water is a powerful emulsifier that breaks down oil and grease on contact without any chemical detergents. For external use, not for drinking.
Enagic is one of the only water ioniser manufacturers in the world to produce Strong Kangen Water at pH 11.5 and Strong Acidic Water at pH 2.5. These two outputs set Kangen Water Ionisers apart from most competing products on the market.
- Pesticide and fertiliser removal : soak raw vegetables and fruit to lift oil-based residue far more effectively than plain water
- Kitchen degreasing : emulsify cooking oil and grease from surfaces, cookware, and stovetops without chemical cleaners
- Cutting boards, utensils, and dishes : effective for removing stubborn food residue and odours
- Floor and bathroom cleaning : remove slime, stains, and built-up grime from tiles without harsh chemicals
Strong Acidic Water (pH 2.5)
The most acidic output. At pH 2.5, the water has strong disinfecting properties and is effective against a wide range of bacteria on contact. For external use, not for drinking.
- Raw meat and seafood : sanitise before preparation to reduce bacterial contamination on the surface
- Hand sanitiser : keep a spray bottle at the kitchen sink; electrolysed water at pH 2.5 eliminates up to 99% of common bacteria on contact
- Food preparation surfaces and cookware : disinfect chopping boards, knives, and kitchen tools after use
- Pet odour removal : spray on carpets or soft furnishings to neutralise odours without chemicals
