Ask best water
Where do I begin?
“A water ionizer uses a two-step process. The first task is to filter out harmful components of the water: chlorine, trihalomethanes, phenols, sediment, odor, taste, organic waste, and bacteria of all kinds. Our filters achieve with a multistage activated carbon filter containing tourmaline and coral calcium.
Next, a small electrical charge is introduced into the water through platinum-coated titanium electrodes. The process of electrolysis that follows takes place in a patented chamber designed to separate the water into two streams of ionized water.” Read the full article on how a water ionizer works.
Note: Water ionizers are typically installed directly to your faucet, or can be installed with an under sink kit.
Kangen Water® is a registered trademark of Enagic Co. Ltd, and is the marketing term for Alkaline Ionized Water, i.e. water produced by a water ionizer.
Water ionizers are the health breakthrough that allow you to turn your kitchen tap into an mountain stream, by providing you with drinking water that will:
- restore your alkaline balance and prevent the build up of the acid toxins that lead to degenerative disease
- act as a powerful antioxidant(more powerful than a glass of fresh orange juice), promoting a strong immune system
- remove the contaminants that are present even in your municipal or district water
- taste so good and have such hydrating qualities, that you’ll drink more, and feel the higher levels of energy associated with good hydration.
It’s easy to be misled with trends. If you’re looking for Kangen water®, you’re looking for a brand of water ionizer.
For customers wanting the best value for their money, read our full article Kangen Water® & Water Ionizer Myths.
Brita water filters (and most home filtration system filters) use a simple filter made of activated carbon (charcoal).
“A properly designed carbon filter is capable of removing many toxic organic contaminants, but falls short of providing protection from dissolved solids, nitrates, high sodium, and fluoride levels.”
Whereas a water ionizer provides a much more thorough treatment of water: “multistage carbon and ceramic filter remove chlorine and other contaminants such as trihalomethanes, phenols, sediment, odor, taste, organic waste, heavy metals, and bacteria of all kinds.“
As well, water ionizers provide electrolysis (ionization): “An electric current is passed through the water, splitting it into two streams: Alkaline ionized water for drinking and cooking. Acid ionized water used for cleaning, disinfection, skin care & plants. Ionized water is rich in minerals: calcium, magnesium, potassium and trace elements…“
To learn more about this as well as bottled water, reverse osmosis, distilled water, UV treated water and more, read our full article Types of Drinking Water Compared.
Recently there’s been much talk about the unique and health-giving benefits of Enagic’s Kangen Water® which has done a fantastic job of introducing the concept of alkaline and acid water in the mainstream.
Kangen just happens to be a very popular brand of water ionizer, which has the same ability to split water into acid and alkaline streams as do all other water ionizers. For customers wanting the best value for their money, read our full article Kangen Water® & Water Ionizer Myths.
“First off, despite the pretty sign on the outside saying “Glacier” or “Mountain Springs” the water in the machine comes from the same place as the water you wash with if you visit the supermarket bathroom. Luckily there are filters in there too. They use a system called Reverse Osmosis, or RO filtration to remove virtually everything from the water. The problem is, RO filters remove too much. They remove 95% of the minerals in the water, minerals that our body needs to be healthy.” Read the full article on water vending machine safety.
“When you choose water to drink, how do you know which water is the best water for you? After all, there are so many water purification methods out there that it is difficult to know which one is actually providing the best water.“
There are 3 simple factors we should be looking at to help us decide, namely health benefits, taste and cost. If you want the short answer, a water ionizer is hands down the best at meeting these criteria effectively, with lots of pricing options to choose from for any budget.

“H2, dissolved hydrogen in your drinking water, is a unique selective antioxidant and more effective than any other antioxidants: it is the smallest molecule in the universe and consequently capable of superlative bioavailability to fluidly penetrate far more effectivelythan supplements.
Molecular hydrogen, H2, easily goes all the way into the mitochondria and across the blood/brain barrier. It scavenges only harmful cytotoxic oxygen radicals and leaves the beneficial radicals alone.
Since about 2007, scientists in Japan have been studying the effects of H2 and there are now over 500 published scientific papers and peer-reviewed studies finding hydrogen enriched drinking water to be highly beneficial with over 150 diseases (such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, stroke and trauma, inflammation, injury recovery, hearing loss, eye damage) and every organ of the body.“

“I have been drinking Alkaline Ionized Mineral Water…for the past two years. I simply love the refreshing taste; all the other benefits of increased oxygen content, anti-oxidant abilities, rapid absorption, and its higher pH to neutralize excess acidity are all extra-added bonuses.
Thank you, your water is a blessing for the young and old alike.”
