Boiled & Distilled Water

In order to compare Kangen Water vs boiled & distilled water, it is necessary to understand what each term means. Kangen water is somewhat alkaline on the pH scale at 9.5. Distilled water is on the other side of neutral, tending to be acidic in nature. Most water that has been distilled has a pH of around 5.6. Neutral water, or water that is absolutely pure has a pH of 7.0.

How is distilled water produced? There is a natural process and a mechanized process for distillation. The natural process is called the water cycle. It begins when the sun warms water in oceans, lakes and rivers, converting it water vapor. The water evaporates into the air until it cools enough to form clouds. Eventually the clouds become heavy enough that the water condenses into rain and comes back to earth as precipitation. Rain water no longer is as pure as it once was. Because of the pollutants in the air, rain is typically slightly acidic due to carbonic acid formed from carbon dioxide and water.

A mechanized process of distillation is possible at home. Ordinary tap water is boiled in a still and then cooled in a condenser. Some models user a charcoal filter in the process to take out gases. Boiling kills bacteria and micro-organisms. Distilling is a near perfect purification process.

Kangen brand water begins the process when ordinary tap water has been purified with a carbon filter. It is then ionized by using electrolysis. Water passes through titanium plates coated with platinum. The electrolysis process splits the purified water into two types of water. The water that is rich in hydrogen is alkaline. Water that is high in oxygen is acidic. The high hydrogen water is called Kangen Water and is alkaline in nature. Alkaline water in the mid range is used to encourage body health. At high alkalinity levels, the water shouldn’t be consumed, but is excellent for cleansing.

The process of ionization leaves minerals in the water, but not impurities. The hydrogen water is rich in electrons. This gives a strong anti-oxidant properties. When it comes to Kangen Water vs boiled & distilled water, Kangen is recommended by those looking for optimum pH levels and bioavailable mineral rich content.
