Kangen WaterTM is a Japanese word meaning "return to origin" for both the body and our world. Over the years, our water sources have become polluted with the effects of industrialization and the widespread use of toxic chemicals in managing our daily lives. As a result, billions of gallons of chemical additives are put into our drinking water to make it resemble the pure water we envision in our minds as the perfect source of health. The truth is that water's original natural state has been lost and what is left is a sad imitation.
Kangen WaterTM through a highly effective electrolysis process, returns water to its original, natural state. Water in this state can assist the body in achieving or maintaining a state of balance which leads to better health and increased vitality. It is the trademark of Enagic Inc. of Japan where more than 30 years of Japanese technological research has been done into the use of ionized water for therapeutic effects.
In 1965, the Japanese Ministry of Health stated that ionized water was a viable form of medical treatment and designated Enagic company and the SD501 as the most effective ionizing machine in the world and the only one to be registered as an approved medical treatment device. In fact, their water ionizers are not only found in numerous pharmacies, physicians offices, day care centers and health clubs, but they are the only ionizers allowed in more than 250 Japanese hospitals and medical clinics. The company, founded by Nironari Oshiro in 1974 has emerged as a leading manufacturer of specialized, high quality water technology equipment. And still today, every single machine is handmade by one individual.
In 2002 at the meeting of the Japanese Functional Water Association, research was presented that reported that Kangen WaterTM is effective in controlling the oxidation of lipids. This was the beginning of the explosion in the benefits of water ionization and Kangen WaterTM . Enagic introduced Kangen WaterTM and the company's pledge to realize a revolution in true health to the US in 2003 and the response has been remarkable. Physicians and laymen alike have been amazed at the effects Kangen WaterTM has on the body. From personal stories to lab tests the results have been staggering. In the time that we have provided this water, we have seen some amazing results, and we believe this water to quickly, efficiently and economically address even the most complicated health issues.
But the most important thing about Enagic is its integrity and its true philosophy of healing through access to clean, pure water. Unlike any other company today, Enagic provides thousands of gallons of free drinking water to the public at its main headquarters in Torrence, CA. People come from many miles each day to fill their containers with this amazing water. There are six public SD501 water producing machines that dispense up to 2,000 gallons each day to anyone who needs it. No other water ionizing company gives so much, nor does any other company have a philosophy of putting health first. In addition, Enagic does not allow anyone to sell the water, nor can their machines be sold by unauthorized distributors. They encourage each distributor to go through extensive training and education on the machine, the water and health and they encourage each distributor to give water away for free to anyone that wants to drink it. This is the essence of Enagic's "Water Revolution", helping the body to heal itself through clean, pure, healthy water.
For this reason, the machines produced by Enagic are far superior to any other company in the U.S. and abroad. Each SD501 ionizing machine is built to the same strict standard Enagic uses for its commercial machines approved by the Japanese Board of Ministry. Each machine is hand-built at the factory in Osaka, Japan by one person who takes responsibility for that particular machine. Enagic also manufactures every single part in house that is used in the assembly of the machine, including the high-grade filter. So there is no chance of defects or sub-standard parts. For this reason, Enagic provides a standard warranty of five years on every single part in the SD501, which is more than any other machine available today. The high quality of each and every part of the Enagic SD501 also means that it will last 20-30 years even when producing gallons of water each day.
The SD501 is self-cleaning has 230 watts of power and has a number of safeguards built into its function to prevent damage and deterioration, such as its automatic emptying of all water within the machine parts after each use. This prevents corrosion and pitting of the platinum-dipped plates. The SD501 also has 7 high quality plates that are of a solid construction and then dipped in layers of platinum to provide a smooth, sleek surface for maximum lifespan and strength of electrolysis. When plates are encased in mesh, they will tend to corrode and break down at a much faster rate, giving the electrolysis less power and the machine less of a lifespan. The SD501 also has a voice prompt which makes the machine perfect for people with vision disturbances.
Enagic has taken its mission very seriously to provide pure drinking water and cleaning waters that reduce the need for artificial detergents and chemicals in our homes and support optimal health in our lives. For this reason Enagic has been awarded the IEEU Environmental Award for producing products that support and protect the environment.
