Generates 7 kinds of water: 4 levels alkaline, purified, 2 levels acidic High performance 4-stage filtration removes 19 harmful substances Advanced water purification with an Ultra Filtration membrane removes 99.9% of viruses and 99.999% of bacteria 6000 L of clear water with 1 cartridge Compact and flat design that fits in the kitchen Alkaline Ionized Water for a Healthier Stomach The effect alkaline ionized water has on improving gastrointestinal symptoms has been approved under the regulations of the Japan Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act (PMD Act). Safe with Stable pH Clinical trials have not confirmed whether alkaline ionized water with a pH of more than 10 is safe to drink. However, when the water flow volume is low, excessive electrolysis of the water can cause the pH to exceed 10. With the TKAS700, optimal detection of water flow volume and water quality ensures the stable generation of safe alkaline ionized water with a pH of less than 10. Extracts More Flavor from Tea More components are extracted from tea leaves in alkaline ionized water. Even with a small amount of tea leaves, you can enjoy a delicious cup of tea. Effectively Supports Daily Cooking Alkaline ionized water permeates food more than other water, and has special effects such as extracting flavor and making food tender. Boiling ingredients in alkaline ionized water can also help to remove harsh tastes. A Worry-free Life Starts with Safe, Clean Water For baby milk, taking medicine, washing food, etc., safe, clean water is needed by everyone every day. Thorough water purification lets you enjoy a worry-free life. For Washing Your Face and Washing Dishes Weak acidic water has nearly the same pH as skin, so it's gentle on the skin. You are recommended to wash your face with it every day. Acidic water is effective at removing tea stains, and so is ideal for washing dishes. Thoroughly Filtered, Pure, Worry-free Water The water from this Panasonic alkaline ionizer is thoroughly purified by a high performance cartridge featuring an Ultra Filtration membrane that can even remove viruses. Water sources may contain invisible harmful substances that are bad for health or cause odors. Accumulation of these substances in the body can cause physical disorders. Removes 19 Harmful Substances While keeping minerals such as calcium that don't need to be removed, the filter removes 19 harmful substances as per the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS S3201, such as chlorine, chloroform, and iron. Removes Virus Particles Just 10 nm in Size Most viruses are 100 nm or less in size, so they can't be removed by a conventional MF type membrane. Since the UF membrane is 10 to 100 times finer than an MF membrane, it can remove viruses in addition to bacteria. *Image is for illustrative purposes only. 4-stage Purification System The filters are made of four kinds of materials with different sized holes: Non-woven fabric, ceramic, activated carbon, and an Ultra Filtration type hollow fiber membrane. *Image is for illustrative purposes only. Removes Virus Particles Just 10 nm in Size Most viruses are 100 nm or less in size, so they can't be removed by a conventional MF type membrane. Since the UF membrane is 10 to 100 times finer than an MF membrane, it can remove viruses in addition to bacteria. *Image is for illustrative purposes only. 6000 L of Clear Water with Just 1 Cartridge Just one cartridge can purify around 6,000 L of water. The cartridge can last for a whole year even when purifying 15 L of water a day, reducing the time and effort spent on cartridge replacements. Eliminating the need to purchase bottled water can not only save money, but it can also help to reduce waste from plastic and glass bottles disposal.
