Explore the waterWhat is Kangen water?
Kangen Water is a brand name. It is the water made by Enagic ionizer machines, which pass an electrical current through tap water to raise its pH. The machines are sold in South Africa through Enagic's multi-level marketing network. Whether you want the water for your home or you are looking at it as a business, the numbers on this page are what matter.
A machine, not a bottle
Kangen water is made at home, on demand, from your own tap water. It is not sold as a bottled product. To drink it you buy the machine first.
Sold through a network
Enagic sells its machines directly through a multi-level marketing distribution network. The people selling the machine usually earn from that sale.
Check permitted use
Check the manufacturer’s permitted-use terms and local requirements before considering commercial bottling. A home appliance purchase is a different proposition from buying packaged stock for resale.
Kangen machine prices in South Africa, as advertised.
These are the ranges previously quoted on this page from South African distributor advertising. Prices are set by individual distributors and move with the exchange rate, so check the current figure with the seller before you decide.
The machine is only the start
On top of the purchase price, budget for annual filter replacements and descaling kits. And remember the water is for your own home. A R45,000 and up machine for personal use means years before it pays for itself, if it ever does.
Compare the business terms
Compare the written distributor terms, costs and income model before joining any opportunity. Designer Water Waterpreneurs buy bottled stock and earn a margin from product sales. Check Enagic’s current official terms directly before drawing conclusions about its programme.
Machine prices and model names are quoted as advertised by Enagic distributors in South Africa. Designer Water does not sell Kangen machines and does not set their prices.
