Since our Kangen machine isn’t specifically a filtration system & is more focused on the molecular hydrogen, antioxidant, and structured water qualities, we decided we wanted a custom pre-filtration system designed for our home.
Everyone’s water quality is a little different so it will take some work to understand what is needed for your source water.
QUESTIONS TO ASK:
Is your water hard or soft?
What kinds of contaminants are in it?
Are you renting or do you own your home?
Are you looking for a whole home filtration system or just one in your kitchen?
Are there radioactive materials in your water supply?
The answers to these questions will determine what is needed for your custom pre-filtration setup.
First off, it’s good to check what poisons & radioactive materials are in your water by searching with your zip code here: https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/
Well water will need to be tested independently. Usually these tests are pretty basic so I recommend getting the most thorough inspection that you can.
Pre-Filtration
I’ve included several different water pre-filtration options depending on what you need for your area. We personally use the IonFaucet remineralizing system with some PureEffects anti-radiation filters added.
Ion Faucet also has some amazing sink & plumbing accessories that can help you simply & beautifully hook up your new ionizer machine to your pre-filtration system. We have used their faucet adapters in the past but would really recommend one of their specialty faucets to make your kitchen set up clean!
My local store uses the MultiPure Pre-filtration on their machines in their water-share business. You can see in the video above how regular, purified RO water has a positive ORP while Kangen water has a very negative ORP. This is important because ORP stands for Oxidative Reduction Potential. This is the ability of a substance to oxidize another substance- in this case it’s your cells!
We want to keep our cells healthy & rejuvenating- not rusting out like an old car would…(essentially that happens on a cellular level!)
Reverse Osmosis is a great pre-filtration set up if you’re planning on activating your water afterwards with the ionizer, but is not great on it’s own. If you want to know more about ORP & the scientific properties of the water, I highly recommend jumping into the below resource page. I’ve collected hundreds upon hundreds of studies, books, PDFs, & even a FREE Water Mini-Course!
