The Water We Use At Home

You’ll often see this water in the background of my kitchen, the garden, or everyday life at home. I don’t talk about it loudly or often, but it’s become such a normal part of how we live that people regularly ask about it. This page exists simply to share what we use, why we chose it, and how it fits into our home and values.

At home

Our Kangen Water® System

We use a Kangen Leveluk K8 water system at home. We’ve had it since April 2023, and it’s now part of our everyday routines. It gives us different types of water for different uses around the house. Drinking. Washing produce. Cleaning. These days, it’s used throughout the day without much thought. It’s just part of how our home runs.

Everyday use

How We Use The Water

We use the water for drinking, cooking, washing fruit and vegetables, general cleaning, and everyday life at home.

I also use it in the garden, including watering plants and cut flowers, and even for quick hand cleaning when I’m moving between garden jobs.

Our cat was a fan of it too. It’s replaced many separate products we used to buy and has simplified how we do things day to day.

Why I said yes

A Choice I Didn’t Know I Needed

When I first learned about this water, I wasn’t actively looking for it. I was craving a different way of living. More time at home. More stability. A life that felt calmer and more supportive. At the time, I was a single mum, stretched financially, unsure about my options, and wanting something to change without burning myself out.

Being honest

It Was A Big Decision

I won’t pretend this was an easy or small decision. It felt big and a bit scary. I hadn’t taken out a loan before, and I was nervous about committing to something I was still learning about.

I was knocked back initially, tried again, and eventually decided to trust the process. Over time, it’s saved us money by replacing bottled water and many cleaning products, and it’s reduced the amount of plastic we bring into our home.

What matters to me

Why It Fits Our Life

For me, this water fits because it aligns with how I want to live. Fewer plastics. Fewer products. More intention. One system that supports drinking, cleaning, and everyday use made sense long term.

It wasn’t about fixing anything or chasing perfection. It was about choosing something that supported our home and the way we want to live.

A common question

Is It Expensive?

Yes, it’s an investment. And it’s probably the most common question I get. For me, it came down to this.

We were already spending money on my health, cleaning products, and things that didn’t last or didn’t really support us long-term.

This felt like choosing one thing we use every single day, instead of constantly replacing lots of smaller things.

Everyone’s situation is different. This page isn’t here to convince anyone. It’s simply here to share how we made the decision, and why it made sense for us.

It simply means you’re curious. Some people like to understand more before deciding what feels right for them. Others realise it’s not for them at all. Both are completely okay.
