The Treasure Valley has hard water. Here’s what to do about it.
Boise-area tap water is among the hardest in the country. Learn what that means for your home and health — and how a Kangen Water ionizer changes the water you drink and clean with.
Why Treasure Valley water is tough on your home
“Hard” water is loaded with dissolved calcium and magnesium. Boise, Meridian, and Nampa all sit well above the “very hard” threshold.
Scale & buildup
White crust on faucets, water heaters, and shower glass — and mineral scale that shortens appliance life.
Taste & odor
A mineral or chlorine taste is why so many valley homes buy case after case of bottled water.
Skin & hair
Hard water can leave skin dry and hair filmy, and makes soap and detergent work harder.
Plastic & cost
Bottled water adds up — in dollars and in plastic waste sent to the landfill every month.
What is Kangen Water?
Kangen Water® is made by an Enagic ionizer that sits on your counter. It filters your tap water, then uses electrolysis to separate it into acidic and alkaline streams — giving you different water for different jobs.
Filter
Tap water passes through a high-grade filter that reduces chlorine, sediment, and other impurities.
Ionize
Medical-grade platinum-coated titanium plates run electrolysis, producing hydrogen-rich, alkaline drinking water.
Select
Choose the pH you need — from strong acidic for cleaning to smooth 8.5–9.5 Kangen drinking water.
One machine, five kinds of water
A single Kangen unit replaces bottled drinking water, store-bought cleaners, and beauty toners — each at the flip of a setting.
What Treasure Valley homeowners like about it
Better-tasting water
Filtered, fresh water on tap — no more mineral or chlorine aftertaste.
No more bottles
Cut the cost and plastic waste of bottled water for good.
One-machine versatility
Drinking, cleaning, produce washing, and beauty water from a single unit.
Built to last
Enagic units are made in Japan and backed by a long manufacturer warranty.
Meet Ukon — Okinawan turmeric
Alongside its water systems, Enagic makes Ukon — a supplement crafted from premium turmeric grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soil of Okinawa, Japan. Turmeric (“ukon” in Japanese) has been a staple of traditional Okinawan wellness for centuries.
Made from three varieties of Okinawan turmeric and taken daily, Ukon is a simple, natural complement to the clean, hydrogen-rich water your Kangen machine makes at home.
