Seven waters, 85 uses
The machine makes seven types of water from your tap: four alkaline, one neutral and two acidic. Between them they replace a surprising number of household, beauty and kitchen products, and a lot of plastic bottles.
Strong Kangen Water
11.5A potent cleaning agent you can use in place of detergents and cleansers, and a powerful grease cutter. After cleaning surfaces with 11.5, spray them with 2.5 as an antimicrobial. Not for regular drinking.

Sleep

Eye wash
Rinse eyes with an eye cup. Upon removing the eye cup from its packaging, soak in Strong Acid Water for 1-2 minutes to clean and disinfect. Rinse the eye cup thoroughly with Strong Alkaline Water. Fill the cup, following package directions, with Strong Alkaline Water. Place cup firmly around one eye, keeping your eye open, tilt your head back and gently roll your eye as though you were attempting to look up, down, and from side to side. Continue this for approximately 1 minute. Now that you have completed one eye, toss the water away. Rinse the eye cup thoroughly with Strong Acid Water. Repeat steps for your other eye. To maintain healthy eyes follow this protocol 1-3 times per week. When working to improve any eye condition, follow this protocol at least 2 times daily and up to 10 times per day.
