The state of the water does change when the water is heated or chilled. When heated, the ORP and pH changes. When chilled, the ORP will change but the pH will remain the same for up to a week based on the quality of water.
No. Medication should be taken with 7.0 pH Clean Water.
The benefits of consuming Kangen Water® are the minerals it contains and the optimal hydration it offers.
There are no set rules regarding how to drink Kangen Water® or how much to consume.
Machine Related Questions
Two types of water run through the LeveLuk machine, and Kangen Water® will be produced only when the two run at a fixed ratio. If the discharge hose is bent, or the stand is positioned higher than the bottom tip of the flexible pipe, acidic water cannot be produced properly. In turn, stretching the hose below the sink to collect water in a separate container will result in loss of Kangen Water®. In this case, please do not pull the spout stand to the bottom, but prepare a separate hose to collect water in the container. Please make it a daily habit to check the water using the pH testing solution and hydrogen bubbles.
There is a square switch situated under the black cover on the front-left of the appliance. Please make sure to push this button (it should make a beeping sound) when you first set up the LeveLuk or when replacing the filter. This allows for the correct display on the monitor (liquid crystal display) of all the information stored in the LeveLuk microcomputer. This reset button must be pushed in order for information to be displayed on the LCD screen. It notifies the user when there is too much or too little water, sets off an alarm when heated water passes through by mistake, and informs you to monitor the water flow. By using the reset switch correctly on the LeveLuk, you insure the delivery of safe and healthy water.
2ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) – Electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down rusting and decay (oxidization). This process is also known as deoxidization. ORP is measured in terms of negative mVs. The ideal ORP level for the human body is said to be between -150mV and -400mV.
Furthermore, if you set the machine on beauty water (acidic water) , and let the water run for two to three minutes, you can decrease the amount of minerals significantly. Please clean containers that you put Kangen Water® in at least once every three months by the above mentioned method. 1Citric acid – Citric acid is extracted from apples. It has the ability to dissolve clusters of minerals such as Ca and Mg. An ideal and safe way of cleaning water production appliances is to circulate citric acid through the appliance.
LeveLuk’s automatic cleaning mechanism is activated for 20 seconds when continual electrolysis reaches 15 minutes. When using LeveLuk in areas where the water has a high mineral content, change the setting to “beauty water” (2nd from bottom) and turn on the tap slightly so the water is running gently. This will reverses the electric current and remove the crystals in the electrolysis cell after 2-3 minutes. Changing the setting to “beauty water” once a day for 30 seconds is another way to clean the electrolysis cell. The cleaning function is necessary to maximize the life span of the electrolysis cell. 1Minerals – Ca (calcium), Mg (Magnesium), Na (Sodium), Ka (Potassium) and other nutrients found in food and water. Minerals found in water are said to be especially good for the health in optimum amounts.
The display screen on the LeveLuk will notify you when the total volume of water produced reaches 1,500 gallons. The microcomputer controls this notification mechanism, please make sure to press the reset switch to activate the microcomputer when you put in a new filter. The reset switch is located on the top right of the cartridge section (inside the black cover on the left). Please press it until it beeps. The microcomputer controls other information for the LeveLuk as well, which is why it is critical to remember to press the reset button.
- Electrolysis of water requires high quality electrolysis plates, and the size, thickness, and number of the plates becomes crucial in maintaining durability. The “double cross line” method1 used by other companies has the appliance’s overall durability in mind. In these appliances, two small electrolysis cells are used in turn to provide resting time, but this limits the volume of water than can be produced at one time. LeveLuk on the other hand, has five or seven electrolysis plates, the largest number in the industry, and while maintaining durability via their large surface area and thickness, they allow the appliance to produce large volumes of water (maximum Kangen Water®: 0.8-2.0 gallons/minute).
Every function, such as supplying voltage according to switching of the pH setting and producing highly acidic water in the same electrolysis cell, is carefully monitored by the microcomputer. It ensures that the appliance can be used safely for a long period of time. We recommend that you produce “beauty water” once a day for at least three minutes to improve the appliance’s durability. 1Double cross line method – Also referred to as the auto cross changer method. An electrolysis system where the appliance is equipped with two small electrolysis cells in order to enhance durability by alternating the cells with each water flow.
LeveLuk is equipped with an automatic water-draining system that prevents contamination and proliferation of germs in residue water. The automatic water draining system is activated once the water stops. It takes approximately 30 seconds for all water in the electrolysis cell, water purification cartridge, and all channels to be drained through the hose (grey). Please note that the automatic water draining system is activated when the water level drops, and positioning the spout higher than the base of the appliance for any reason (pooling of acidic water in the tank, hanging the hose from a rack because of its length) may result in a failure to discharge residue water. Leaving water behind may cause problems with taste and smell. Please be sure to have the spout hose lower than the appliance before turning the tap off.
When the original tap water supply is high in minerals (most often seen with well water), a large amount of crystals are formed in the electrolysis cell. If this progresses, chunks of crystals can become stuck in the net before the flexible pipe, obstructing the water outflow. In order to remove this clog, poke the area with a piece of wire and blow air into the K8 from the spout. Please remove the flexible pipe from K8 when cleaning in this manner. Water flow can also become restricted when a machine is due for a deep cleaning.
For this reason, Kangen Water® and strong Kangen Water® comes out of the flexible pipe, and acidic water and strong acidic water comes out of the discharge hose. Of the four production modes, when the appliance is set on the “beauty water” mode, the electric current is reversed, as it is done for cleaning, so acidic water comes out the flexible pipe and Kangen Water® comes out the discharge hose. This is the only time the waters are discharged on the opposite ends. Since the acidic mode reverses polarity, it has the effect of breaking off calcium crystals attached to the negative pole and can be used as a manual cleaning mode.
Ukon DD Related Questions
Brand new customers pay $760 (plus applicable taxes and $15 shipping) for a 4-month supply of Kangen Ukon. E8PA Card holders get a 12% discount and only pay $680 for the 4-month supply.
Ukon DD points are worth $40.
Ukon customers in the UAE can receive Ukon commissions same as the machines with no need to accrue it to a certain limit. However, Ukon customers outside the UAE, have to get their commissions accumulated to AED 700.00 in order to be released to them. All customers MUST renew their Ukon account on time by writing to the branch and submitting an Ukon application form each time, as the UAE branch does not have an automatic renewal program yet.
It depends on your customer. There are 2 types of Ukon DD customers: New Customers and current Kangen Water® Customers.
NEW CUSTOMERS If you sell Ukon DD to a brand new customer, you will be paid the same amount of points as your Kangen Water® rank. For instance, if you are a 6A and sell Ukon DD to a new customer who has not previously purchased a machine, you will earn 6 Ukon points, or $240 (remember, each Ukon point is $40).
Kangen Water® CUSTOMERS If your downline partner buys Ukon DD under her/himself, or team member in your downline, you will be paid according to which leg that downline customer is in. For example, an Ukon DD sale to a customer in your 3A leg will give you a maximum of 3 points ($120), even if you are currently a 6A. This even applies to sales for yourself! As a Kangen Water® distributor, when you purchase Ukon DD, you will receive the same amount of points as your Kangen Water® rank. So if you are a 3A, you’ll be paid $120 for your own Ukon DD purchase! And since Kangen Water® customers are already getting a great discount on Ukon DD ($680 for a 4 month supply, versus $760), this extra commission for your own purchase makes Ukon DD a great value! (Discount only for E8PA holders)
Yes, you may sell both products to a new customer, and this counts as 2 sales. But please note that the new customer must first purchase a Kangen Water® machine, and then they can buy Ukon DD under their own distributorship (or vice versa).
Yes, when you buy a 4-month supply of Ukon, you will be paid the same amount of Ukon points as your Kangen Water® rank. For instance, if you are a 5A and you purchase Ukon DD, you will be paid 5 points which is $200 in 10 business days. The remaining 3 points will be paid to your up line with active Ukon account. Ukon DD commission is Paid as clarified above.
There is a 1:1 ration for Ukon DD and Kangen Water® machines for your Kangen Water® rank. In other words, selling Ukon DD is considered a “sale” that will count toward your next Kangen Water® promotion. However, there is a 3:1 ration for Kangen Water® Title Incentives.
No, you are not permitted to recruit out of line. All Kangen Water® distributors will keep the same customers and structure.
No. FA0 (Free Agent) is a system which will allow distributors who have not made a “direct sale” in over 2 years to reactivate their business under a different 6A2-3 group by purchasing a Machine or Ukon Sigma (Ukon DD purchases ineligible).
Again, Enagic does not encourage it, but Ukon DD distributors may sell and earn commission from Kangen Water sales.
All monthly payments are due by the assigned Due Date. Failure to make a monthly payment within ten (10) days of the Due Date will result in termination of your Ukon DD account without further notice. All benefits that come with this program (e.g. SPpoint) will no longer apply to the account from the termination date and will not be reinstated.
Kangen Ukon is MORE than a healthy, powerful dietary supplement! It is also an OPPORTUNITY for Enagic® distributors to discover true financial health with an additional income stream.
Enagic® has designed the Kangen Ukon DD Program to work WITH your Kangen Water® business and help promote you faster. As an Ukon DD and Kangen Water® customer, you’ll be on the fast track to 6A! And since Kangen Ukon DD customers receive shipments every 4 months, you will be compensated every time their account automatically renews! In other words, this is an opportunity to advance in your Kangen Water® Business AND receive additional reoccurring income.
Here’s how it works:
Kangen Ukon DD sales count as an Enagic® machine sale. This means all your Ukon DD sales will count toward your Kangen Water® rank promotions. For example, 2 direct machine sales and 1 Ukon DD sale will promote you to 2A.
Each point is worth $40 for a 4-month supply of Kangen Ukon DD. When a customer signs up for Ukon DD, he receives commissions just like with ®Kangen Water (with respect to be in, or out of UAE), Enagic® pays 8 points for every Ukon DD sale. The points are paid from the bottom up until they are completely paid out. There is no 6A Educational Commission for Ukon Sales.
Misc Questions
ORP is the strength to bond with active oxygen2 reducing power, and can be measured through electronic designs in the hardware. Although a negative value is desirable for deoxidization power, the actual value varies from region to region. For example, in Osaka city, tap water records an ORP of +580-600mV, but after using LeveLuk, the ORP becomes pH9.5 and records the ideal from -150mV to -400mV. When the original water supply’s ORP increases, the ORP of Kangen Water® moves in direct proportion. On the Japanese archipelago, LeveLuk is capable of producing water with negative levels of ORP at pH9.5 even where original water supply marks the highest positive levels of ORP. 1Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) – Electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down rusting and decay (oxidization). This process is also known as deoxidization. ODR is measures in terms of negative mVs. The ideal ODR level for the human body is said to be between -150mV and -400mV. 1Active oxygen – Also known as free radicals. Medically it is known to enter the body when one’s daily rhythm of life or diet goes astray when under stress. It is the type of oxygen that causes illness and aging. Maintaining a daily rhythm will help keep this oxygen from entering your body!
2Calcium glycerophosphate (Calcium powder) – If the pH level does not increase even after electrolyzing water (especially when using well water or tap water in areas toward the Sea of Japan), adding calcium powder will increases the pH level.
When measuring the pH using a pH testing solution, place a few drops in the flask before pouring in freshly made Kangen Water®. There is carbon dioxide in your Kangen Water® if the color turns blue initially, but eventually turns yellow.
LeveLuk is made to be used in USA. When using LeveLuk in other countries, it must be adjusted to the particular voltage (110V-240V) and water quality of the country. Since there are few countries where you can drink tap water straight from the tap, and many countries where the water has extremely high calcium content, we recommend selecting a filter that suits the country. Many laws must be taken into consideration for exporting goods, but individual use overseas is not a problem.
LeveLuk is designed for use anywhere, but cold districts especially must be aware how to freeze-proof the device during the winter. When you turn off the water, the LeveLuk activates the automatic water draining system and drains the remaining water through the gray hose, thereby ensuring that no water is left in the appliance. Although there have not yet been any reports of accidents or breakdowns caused by freezing, if acidic water is left in the tank intentionally by lifting the hose or if the hose is positioned higher than the bottom of the LeveLuk due to space constraints, the automatic water draining system will not operate, and the remaining water may freeze, leading to accidents. Be sure to keep the hose lower than the base of the LeveLuk when turning off the water flow.
