E Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning: What Is the Difference for Your Kangen Water System?

Many Kangen Water System users have heard about E Cleaning and Deep Cleaning, but not everyone understands the difference between the two.

Both are important for maintenance, but they are not the same.

E Cleaning is a user level cleaning that owners can do by themselves at home.

Deep Cleaning is a stronger and more thorough cleaning service done with higher cleaning concentration, pump circulation and performance checking equipment.

The main purpose is to help reduce mineral build up inside the system and support better water quality over time.

Why Cleaning Is Important

Your Kangen Water System works through electrolysis.

As water passes through the machine, minerals that are naturally found in water, such as calcium and magnesium, may slowly build up inside the internal water pathway and electrolysis chamber.

This is normal, especially when:

• The machine is used every day

• The family uses a high volume of water

• The water in the area has higher mineral content

• The machine has not been cleaned regularly

• The user often produces Strong Kangen Water or Strong Acidic Water

If E Cleaning or Deep Cleaning is not done regularly, it does not mean the water flow will definitely become blocked.

The bigger concern is usually the quality and performance of the water output.

Over time, mineral build up may affect:

• pH performance

• ORP reading• Hydrogen level

• Electrolysis performance

• Overall water output quality

This is why regular cleaning is part of responsible ownership.

What Is E Cleaning?

E Cleaning is the normal self cleaning maintenance that users can do at home.

It is usually recommended once a month.

For each E Cleaning, the user normally uses one pack of Enagic cleaning powder, about 30g.

The cleaning solution is placed into the machine following the proper E Cleaning procedure, and the solution is usually left inside the system for soaking.

The soaking process usually takes around 5 hours.

E Cleaning helps to:

• Reduce normal mineral build up

• Maintain the internal water pathway

• Support more stable pH performance

• Keep the machine in better condition

• Prevent mineral build up from becoming heavier over time

E Cleaning is simple, but it works best when done consistently.

A simple way to understand it is this:

E Cleaning is like brushing your teeth.

You do it regularly to maintain cleanliness before build up becomes too heavy.

What Is Deep Cleaning?

Deep Cleaning is a stronger and more thorough cleaning service.

It is different from normal monthly E Cleaning.

For Deep Cleaning, we use around 300g of cleaning powder, which is about 10 times more than normal E Cleaning.

Instead of only letting the cleaning solution soak inside the machine, our on site Deep Cleaning uses a pump to circulate the cleaning solution through the machine.

This means the cleaning solution keeps moving through the internal water pathway.

This helps to flush and remove deeper calcium and mineral build up more effectively.

Deep Cleaning helps to:

• Clean deeper mineral build up

• Support better electrolysis performance

• Support better pH performance

• Support better ORP and hydrogen output

• Improve overall water output quality

• Check whether the machine is still performing well

• Give the owner a clearer understanding of the machine condition

Deep Cleaning is especially useful for machines that have not done E Cleaning regularly.

It is also very useful for users who use the machine heavily.

Why Users Who Often Use Electrolysis Enhancer Should Pay More Attention

Some users often use electrolysis enhancer to produce:

• 11.5 Strong Kangen Water

• 2.5 Strong Acidic Water

These water types are commonly used for cleaning, food preparation, sanitizing routines, F&B use and other household purposes.

Electrolysis enhancer is salt based.

When electrolysis enhancer is used frequently, the machine is exposed to a higher salt and mineral load during the electrolysis process.

Because of this, mineral build up may happen faster compared to users who mainly use normal drinking water settings.

This is why users who frequently produce Strong Kangen Water or Strong Acidic Water should pay more attention to cleaning and maintenance.

Even if you already do E Cleaning every month, if you often use electrolysis enhancer, we still recommend doing Deep Cleaning at least once a year.

This is especially important for:

• Users who frequently produce 11.5 Strong Kangen Water

• Users who frequently produce 2.5 Strong Acidic Water

• F&B outlets• Offices• Bigger families

• Heavy daily users

• Users who use the machine for cleaning or food preparation regularly

In simple words, if you use Strong Kangen Water or Strong Acidic Water often, Deep Cleaning is a good yearly habit to help protect your machine.

E Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning

Here is the simple difference.

E Cleaning

• Done by the user at home

• Recommended once a month

• Uses about 30g of cleaning powder

• Cleaning method is mainly soaking

• Usually takes around 5 hours

• Good for regular maintenance

• Helps reduce normal mineral build up

• User can normally check with pH drops or pH strips

Deep Cleaning

• Done by our service team

• Uses about 300g of cleaning powder

• Around 10 times more than normal E Cleaning

• Uses pump circulation instead of only soaking

• Helps flush deeper calcium and mineral build up

• More suitable for heavier usage or machines that have not been cleaned regularly

• Recommended at least once a year for users who often use electrolysis enhancer

• Includes checking with proper equipment such as ORP meter and hydrogen meter

Both are useful.

They are just different levels of cleaning.

What Can Users Check at Home?

When users do E Cleaning by themselves, they can normally do simple checking only.

Most users can check with:

• pH drops

• pH strip test

This helps the user get a basic idea of the pH output.

However, pH is only one part of the water performance.

It does not show the full condition of the machine.

What We Check During On Site Deep Cleaning

During our on site Deep Cleaning service, we bring our own testing equipment to check the machine more clearly.

We can check the water output with equipment such as:

• ORP meter

• Hydrogen meter

These readings help us understand whether the machine is still producing good quality Kangen Water.

This gives the owner a better picture of the machine condition after cleaning.

How Often Should You Do It?

For normal home use, we usually recommend:

• E Cleaning once a month

• Deep Cleaning about once every 6 months, especially if E Cleaning has not been done regularly

If you do E Cleaning every month and your machine is mainly used for normal drinking water, Deep Cleaning is advisable to do it once a year.

However, if you often use electrolysis enhancer to produce Strong Kangen Water or Strong Acidic Water, we recommend doing Deep Cleaning at least once a year, even if you already do monthly E Cleaning.

This is because electrolysis enhancer is salt based. When it is used frequently, mineral and salt build up may happen faster inside the system.

A simple way to understand it:

E Cleaning is like brushing your teeth.

Deep Cleaning is like going for dental scaling.

Both are important, but they are not the same.

E Cleaning helps with regular maintenance.

Deep Cleaning gives the machine a stronger and more complete cleaning when needed.
