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

To ensure the very best quality water for your health and wellness benefit, it is important to change your filters and stones on time. 

• Multi-Stage Filter - once placed in your zazen Water system, the Multi-Stage Filter has a maximum life of 6 months, regardless of the volume of water filtered (If you have a large family, or busy office/clinic, using over 12 litres / day, you may need to change your filter cartridge sooner). If not replaced on time, the acidic contaminants in your source water will affect the ability of the system to produce healthy alkaline water.
  For effective fluoride reduction of up to 90%, it is very important to change this filter every 6 months at a maximum.

To ensure the very best quality water for your health and wellness benefit, it is important to change your filters and stones on time. 

• Ceramic Pre-Filter - this filter deteriorates over time with use and cleaning and should be replaced every 12 months. It plays a critical role in pre-filtering large contaminants (greater than 0.2 micron) from your water, such as bacteria, ecoli, giardia and other organic matter, so they do not clog up the Multi-Stage Filter, impacting its ability to do its heavy metal and fluoride filtering at an effective level.

To ensure the very best quality water for your health and wellness benefit, it is important to change your filters and stones on time. 

• Anti-Bacterial Stones (red/brown) - conserve the freshness and health of the water in the bottom tank due to their anti-bacterial properties and should be replaced every 12 months.

To ensure the very best quality water for your health and wellness benefit, it is important to change your filters and stones on time. 

• Alkalinity Enhancer - these little white beads help boost the pH of the water due to the ionised magnesium and calcium being released into the water and should be replaced every 12 months.

To ensure the very best quality water for your health and wellness benefit, it is important to change your filters and stones on time. 

• Mineral Stones - these stones contain a balanced range of natural minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and silicon which help to balance, fortify and assist with the pH and increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. They shouold be replaced every 5 years.

Hungry Water versus Balanced Water is the Key!

One of the key principles 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 pH levels of 5.5.

The zazen Alkaline Water Filter 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!
