Does the zazen system remove fluoride?
The zazen Alkaline Water system has been designed to selectively remove and reduce chlorine, fluoride, bacteria, heavy metals and many of the harmful toxins in our drinking water – whilst retaining the beneficial minerals critical for life and proper hydration.
The zazen Alkaline Water system emulates Mother Nature’s natural water cycle which includes filtration and then the rebalancing of water with life giving beneficial minerals and energy.
With regard to Fluoride, independent tests have shown the zazen Filter Cartridge naturally removes up to 90% of the fluoride. As with any natural filtration system, reduction will reduce with volume of water through the filter, so it is critical that the zazen Filter Cartridge is replaced as recommended every 6 months at a maximum, 4 months for a large household, office or clinic.
Is the zazen Water System plastic safe?
Yes, all zazen Alkaline Water system tanks, seals, the tap and parts (Filter Cartridge housing etc.) are BPA (Bi-Sphenol A) and Phthalate free.
Hungry Water versus Balanced Water is the Key!
One of key principals and purpose of the zazen Alkaline Water Systems 10 Stage State-of-the-Art micro filtration process is to; rebalance, re-mineralise (with a balanced range of alkaline minerals) and restructure your drinking water into an ideal state for hydration; this means that the water is in a “balanced state” and “not hungry”.
Hungry Water – what is it?
-
If water is “hungry” e.g. acidic (low pH below 7.0 which is neutral) or lacking in alkaline minerals (water created using reverse osmosis technology), it will always seek to rebalance itself – just as our body keeps our blood in pH (7.369) balance.
-
This rebalancing process means that hungry “unbalanced water” kept in unsafe plastic containers will leach what-ever it comes into contact with including the chemicals from the plastic in an attempt to rebalance itself.
-
Most bottled water is acidic (hungry!) – many we have tested have a pH of 5.5.
The zazen Alkaline Water system process – ensures that if the water entering the zazen bottom tank is in a “hungry state” – it will actually be sitting in a natural healthy environment supporting the water, allowing it to rebalance itself “naturally” and healthily.
-
The zazen Water bottom tank has natural alkaline mineral stones in it.
-
These unique and pristine natural mineral stones enable water as its first preference, to take up alkaline minerals from the natural stones;
-
In this balanced state it is “not hungry” and will not seek to draw anything more from anywhere else.
Creating water naturally in a balanced state is the most critical aspect of the zazen Water process ensuring healthy hydrating water, that tastes delicious!
How often do I need to replace my parts?
Your zazen Alkaline Water system has 4 different parts that need to be replaced at specific times:
-
Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge – every 4 to 6 months*
-
Ceramic Filter – every 12 months**
-
Silver Stones (red) – every 12 months
-
Mineral Stones (grey) – every 5 years
If you are also using the Alkalinity & Anti-Oxidant Enhancer, it should be changed every 12 months.
*With the zazen Filter Cartridge, for a 1 to 2 person household, you should change it every 6 months at a maximum. For a large household, office or clinic, you may need to change it more often, depending on usage.
**If you use tank water you may need to change sooner

If my tap water is alkaline, do I need your system?
Yes, many metropolitan water supplies across Australia can be alkaline
but that does not mean it is good for you. This goes to the very essence of what zazen Alkaline Water aims to remedy, and is an important question to answer.
Part of the zazen Water mission is to educate on the impact of alkalinity and to qualify the belief that more alkaline is always good. It is not quite that simple. Let us first understand how some Australian water supplies can become alkaline, and then we will tackle why this is not ideal, and how zazen Water works with this and consistently delivers water that hydrates at a cellular level.

Does zazen use bone char in any of its products
Bone Char is NOT Used in any zazen Water Product or Filter. zazen Water does not use any bone char media in any product. There are some claims from competitors who are advising customers we are (don’t know why they are claiming this as it is false) – we do not use bone char in any of our filters.
Jodie S – :
I am so happy with my glass bottom water filter. It is a high quality product.
I was so happy with how quickly it was posted and arrived, as I live on the far south coast, in a regional area.
We are also living in a high chlorine area, the water filter completely removes the taste and smell of the chlorine!
Catherine – :
Zazen was recommended to me by my naturopath. I have had my system for several years now & I drink about 4 litres of water a day plus use the filtered water for cooking & to water my indoor plants. I definitely recommend this company & its products. I especially appreciate the reminders when it is time to replace various parts of my Alkaline Water system.
Lucy G – :
My family and I have been using the Zazen system for almost a year and it’s the best purchase we have ever made. The water tastes so clean and I find it impossible to drink tap/bottled water now. Anytime we have guests over, I get them to try the water and everyone agrees it’s just so much better. You can really see just how dirty tap water is when you go to clean the ceramic filter. I will use this for the rest of my life – I love zazen!!
Lisa – :
I am so impressed at the fact that I cannot taste or smell the water. And even during the ‘settling’ time the water is great (was going to say delicious, but sure people will think I am strange for saying water is delicious).
I have already noticed the difference in hydration between drinking zazen back to bottled water.
And I played a water taste testing with the guy I work with (like fine wine). He usually forces himself through a small bottle during a day, but drank 1 litre of zazen by lunch time.
Thank you again.
Evelyn Lee – :
We have been using Zazen Water System for number of years, and absolutely loving it. The water came out of the filters tastes soft and silky, it is very different from tap water. The customer service was fantastic. No regret buying the product.
Adam – Enhance Yoga – :
I wanted to thank you for the Zazen Water filter. It has been a pleasure dealing with you from day one, to the arrival of our unit. And I wanted to thank you for sending the extra filter after our accident…we are very grateful!
We look forward to enjoying and sharing the benefits with our staff, students and friends.
Michelle – :
My husband and I are absolutely loving our new Zazen water filter system! Before purchasing the system, we were using a similar style filtration system, but in a much smaller jug type. It was great initially, however we found we weren’t using tap water very much as we preferred the clean taste of filtered water. We quickly outgrew the jug. I stumbled across the Zazen water filter system at a health expo – I’m sure glad I did! The set up was super easy – although it does take a couple of days to soak the rocks. Customer service is very important to me – these guys excel at it! They’re very reassuring with any questions you may have and are happy to provide over the phone assistance. Postage was super fast and the packaging ensured no breakages to the glass bottom tank. Lastly, of course, the performance! The water tastes so amazing – so clean and crisp! The dispensing tap is very convenient! The system is a real talking point when guests come over. I’m aiming to convert all our friends and family to getting this system! I’d never be able to go back to drinking tap water again! Yuck! Keep up the excellent work Zazen! A++++++
Sharon Prior – :
I really appreciate your positive customer service – it has just reaffirmed my decision to buy your filter over a “cheaper imitation”. It’s great to see companies that value their customers.
Thank you so much!
Amy Boulton – :
I have never believed in a product so much. It’s been life changing. My Son has mild autism (very mild) but I swear since we changed to Zazen his symptoms are almost none existent! To to the point where I’m seriously considering having him re-assessed! It’s seriously changing our life! I love it so much and to think I hated water before 😂😂 thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such an amazing product!!!
Deborah de Silva – :
I love my Zazen water system! I can definitely taste the difference in your water. Highly recommended
Naomi Jaques – :
So excited about starting to use my Zazen water system!! Its all set up and ready to use 🙂
Kerri Alderson – :
I have been your Number 1 fan for approx 5 years now. Zazen filtered water is the best tasting water hands down. I fill up my bottle every morning for work, and cry if I run out during the day haha. So grateful to have found you, especially after the news today that Adelaide water is so full of chemicals I love my Zazen!
Katie Behlau – :
Many thanks for your service & beautiful product. I’m getting lots of positive feedback about the taste & lightness of the water. A new patient has been unable to drink water due to a gut infection & found she can drink mine (zazen) no trouble at all!! Warm regards & thanks Katie.
Trudi B – :
Hi, I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVE my zazen water system!! I have been chronically ill for a few years with Lyme & many co infections as well as it driving RA. Following naturopathic treatment & nutrition based medicine, I am doing so much better after being told by my experienced Lyme in September 2015 that my best chance of recovery was to head to Germany for very expensive hyperthermia treatment.
Really, I should have got a zazen a couple of years ago, but being so sick, it was just another expense on top of all the treatment costs. Anyway, fast forward & I got mine a couple of weeks ago. I had been following a very low carb moderate protein diet for 6 months, with no change other than feeling blahhhh, The week prior to receiving my zazen, my body was just crying out for fruit, fruit & more fruit, lots of fresh plant based food & minimal protein, so I tucked in. After drinking 2 glasses of zazen water, within an hour, my pain levels had dropped by 50%, pretty impressive & maybe coincidental? Anyway, maybe a combination of both plus the recent addition of homeopathics, but whatever it is, I believe the water has made a massive difference to the bioavailablity of nutrients to my body. I had been measured on a VLA machine a few months back & my cells were dehydrated; it will be interesting to see what the changes are in the new year.
Sharon P – :
I really appreciate the time you took to answer all my questions. I purchased a filter and it arrived on Saturday. Absolutely loved the beautiful gift wrapping and presentation of it. Felt like I was unwrapping something very special.
I am loving the taste of the water and how I’m feeling drinking it. My daughters eczema has already started to calm down.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas
Sharon
Barry H – :
I have had the same Zazen Water filter for many years after purchasing one from The Body Mind Spirit Festival in Melbourne.After tasting this beautiful, soft water which is energised as well, I had to buy a unit.I notice a huge difference between the taste and clarity of Zazen water compared with bottled water and I will never be without the unit.Its even time for an upgrade soon.The customer service of Zazen Water is exceptional and second to none. 10/10
Teresa Jablonski – :
Loving the new water system – am feeling the benefits already. When I got it home i didn’t bother soaking the mineral stones for the first 48 hours as you recommend cos I couldn’t wait to have good water to drink. The chalkiness dissipated in a few day anyway and i felt the benefits of the minerals straightaway. All I did was rinse the rocks and all was good. What a fantastic system you have and thank you for bringing such a brilliant yet very simple system to the market so that we can all share the benefits. I’m grateful to have heard about you. Thank you.
Naomi Gilligan – :
I love my zazen water because I trust that I’m giving my family the benefits of healthy clean water without the impurities, fluoride and rust that we were prior before having your filter. I also love the school programme knowing that we are helping others as well. Well done to everyone at zazen. Thank you.
Yolande – :
I’m loving the water and have noticed a great improvement in my family’s health since we started using it. My son has food allergies and has improved a lot.
Matt and Cat – :
We’re very happy with our bench-top system! It’s absolutely wonderful. Your business is an inspiration in so many ways.
We wish you much success and look forward to ordering with Zazen many times in the future.
