Five types of water. One machine.

Every glass is a choice. Select the pH to match the moment.

Five glasses of water arranged by pH — high acidic (pH 2.5) to high alkaline (pH 10.5), each subtly tinted from warm to cool

High Acidic Water

Not for drinking. A powerful natural sanitizer.

  • Cutting board and surface sanitizing
  • Kitchen hygiene
  • Utensil disinfection

Not for consumption. External use only.

Beauty Water

Mirrors your skin's natural acid mantle (~pH 5.5).

  • Facial toner — gentle, chemical-free
  • Hair rinse — seals the cuticle, adds shine
  • Plant watering — most plants prefer mildly acidic soil

Mild acidic water. Gentle enough for daily skin care.

Neutral / Purifier Water

Filtered but not ionised. Pure, neutral water.

  • Time-release medications (as directed by physician)
  • Infant formula preparation
  • When neutral pH is specifically needed

Not ionised. Passes through the filter only.

Daily Drinking Water

The starting point. This is what you drink every day.

  • Daily hydration — the primary use
  • Brewing tea and coffee — smoother extraction

Begin here. Most customers stay at 8.5 for the first two weeks.

Cooking Water

The elevated setting. For cooking and deeper hydration.

  • Cooking rice and grains — fluffier texture
  • Soups and stocks — richer mineral base

Move to 9.5 after two weeks at 8.5. The body adjusts naturally.

Veggie Wash

Not for drinking. For food preparation and cleaning.

  • Residue removal from fruits and vegetables
  • Natural degreaser for kitchen surfaces
  • Laundry — reduces detergent needed

Not for consumption. Cleaning and food preparation only.

The core setting: pH 8.5–9.5

For daily consumption, most guidance points to pH 8.5–9.5. This is the range where alkaline water's properties — hydrogen concentration, negative ORP, and mineral presence — are optimised for drinking.

High Acidic pH 2.5
Beauty pH 4.0–6.0
Neutral pH 7.0
Drinking: 8.5–9.5
High Alkaline pH 10.5

Many customers begin at pH 8.5 and move to 9.5 over the first two weeks. The body adjusts naturally. There's no rush.
