Yes, 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 Multi-Stage Filter 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 Multi-Stage Filter is replaced as recommended every 6 months at a maximum, 4 months for a large household, office or clinic.

Your zazen Alkaline Water System has 5 different parts that need to be replaced at specific times:

Multi-Stage Filter - Every 6 months (if using more than 12 litres per day, you should replace sooner)

Ceramic Pre-Filter - Every 12 months (if you use tank/bore water, you may need to change it every 6 months depending on how well you pre-filter your tank water)

Anti-Bacterial Stones (red/brown) - Every 12 months

Alkalinity Enhancer - Every 12 months

Mineral Stones (blue/grey) - Every 5 years

Yes, all zazen Alkaline Water System tanks, seals, the tap and parts (Multi-Stage Filter housing etc.) are BPA (Bi-Sphenol A) and Phthalate free.

Hungry Water versus Balanced Water is the Key!

One of the key principals and purpose of the zazen Alkaline Water System's 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”.

• If water is “hungry” e.g. acidic (low pH below 7.0) 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 whatever 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 10 Stage State-of-the-Art 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 Bottom Tank has 1kg of 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!

The zazen Alkaline Water System meets the following Australian, NZ and global Water Standards:

• AS / NZ 4348 – (Live Giardia & Cysts)
• ANS / NSF 42 / 53 – (Chloramine, Odours, MTBE, PCB, Lead, Mercury, Turbidity, VOC)
• NSF 42 – (Class 1 Particulate Reduction – Ecoli; Cryptosporidium; Colon Bacillus, Cyst, Live Giardia etc.)
• NSF / AN58 – (Arsenic Reduction)

zazen Water is a member of the WQA (Water Quality Association) USA – the Mark of a Professional, through its membership to WQA, zazen Water Australia has agreed to an industry Code of Ethics and has access to the most up-to-date information available.  zazen Water has been a member since 2012.

As a member we have access to State of the Art Technology, Technical Services, Industry Trends & Statistical Data, Research & Development, Educational Text Books & Continuing Education & Product Certifications and more.

zazen Water ensure the highest level of media in all products and ensure that the media and the zazen Water System and Shower Filter products meet or exceed NSF published standards. The key water certifying body is NSF.org USA.

zazen Water have not certified the zazen Water System specifically with the WQA – we are a member of this organisation. However, we ensure that all our media meet or exceed NSF standards as defined by the NSF for drinking water.
