WE ALREADY HAVE A WATER SOFTENER. CAN MAGNETIZER HELP?

Definitely. When the surface tension is reduced, anything added to the magnetized fluid will dissolve and mix more readily. In terms of a water softener, the magnetized feed water actually increases the efficiency of the softener by increasing the net ion charge and thereby creating a better chemical reaction in the normal ion-exchange. By increasing the efficiency, the system requires less salt to do the same job. Installations have reduced salt consumption by 50% and more. In most cases you do not need a softener. One of our distributors had softeners removed in a hotel’s  coffee expresso machines, putting in their stead the Magnetizer^® “RWE-S” systems. Clients subsequently commented to Management that they serve … the best coffee in town. Please scroll down to see Water Test Data here for additional information.

HOW CAN MAGNETIZER HELP THE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM, WE HAVE ONE IN OUR HOME?

A Reverse Osmosis unit is really an ultra-filtration system, so fluids that are high in mineral content will clog the filtration membrane with mineral crystals. Since the magnetized fluid will prevent crystal formation, placing a Magnetizer^® system on the feed of the Reverse Osmosis unit will decrease membrane clogging and ultimately reduce downtime required to flush the clogged membrane. A further explanation: the advantages of the Magnetizer^® treatment are two fold: reduction of carbonate fouling of the pore structure and reduction of the number of water cages or clusters present in an associated, non-chemical grouping of water molecules. The reduction of the number of molecules present in the cluster is responsible for the reduction in surface tension as an affect of magnetic water treatment. It is not unusual to experience a drop in the surface tension of water for 71 dynes per square centimeter to 62 dynes per square centimeter. The reduction in surface tension effectively reduces the effort required to push the water molecule through the membrane. In conclusion, the Magnetizer^® treatment increases RO’s filter life through reducing calcification as well as reducing processing time/effort required to force the water molecule through the membrane, hence saving energy. There is a Magnetizer^® “TUBS” system available in Mundistore which is sold to thousands of households that purchase $2-3K drinking water purification tanks (filtration steel tank systems, RO tanks, decontamination tanks, etc.). It is an indispensable companion to naturally, i.e. non-chemically condition and soften water and protect the expensive tank system against limescale, corrosion, metal pitting and bacteria.

WHAT DOES MAGNETIZER DO?

It reduces the surface tension of water and gives hard water softer properties. It results in cleaner laundry, dishware, cars, and more. The reduced surface tension also creates a better rinsing effect that helps reduce spotting when drying. This patented hard water conditioner controls lime/scale deposits and corrosion by magnetically suspending the hard minerals in the water throughout the home on both hot and cold water lines. The conditioned water is not only safe to water house plants, lawns, trees, shrubs, and gardens, it will also enhance plant growth, reduce fertilizer requirements, and help conserve water because less water is required for washing and rinsing.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Water is comprised of naturally, chaotically and randomly placed molecules with minerals that form scale. Molecules entering the magnetic field are in turmoil, but as they pass through the strong magnetic field, they become charged and realigned. The magnetic field applied to the water is greater than that of minerals and plumbing, thus lowering water surface tension and creating soft water behavior. Unlike other magnetic technologies, Magnetizer uses a unique and patented “non-linear” polarization where water is most affected. This is the key component of our success and proven results.

WHAT MAKES MAGNETIZER SYSTEM UNIQUE?

Magnetizer^® systems use a patented mono-polar method, which guarantees best results (efficiency), whereas the strength of magnets is secondary (click here for visual confirmation). Magnetizer™ contains only the highest grade ceramic alloy magnetic piles—originally engineered by NASA—with unique design configured to focus almost all of the magnetic energy into the pipe and flowing fluid. A few key principles are critical in the successful design and application of magnetic water treatment:
1. Uniform Exit Pole Imprinting due to monopolar treatment.
2. Configuration of magnets yielding required strength of the magnetic field (flux power).
3. Properly focused energy field and the right polarity.
4. Larger Surface Contact Zone (Contact Time) of applied magnetic field when compared with other bi-polar magnetic systems.
5. The ideal location system placement—the installation know-how—to account for turbulence, distance of travel, pipe composition, flow rate, mineral composition, temperature, etc.

HOW CAN YOU TELL MAGNETIZER IS WORKING?

• Aerators on faucets will not clog
• Keeps deposits from forming on dishwasher and toilets
• Chlorine smell will be decreased – the chlorine stays in solution longer – people who are strongly affected by chlorine smell are no longer after affected after installing magnets
• Balances pH to 7 (slightly)
• Water may taste better because of change in pH
• Algae that traditionally builds in hot water tank and back of toilet is eliminated. Even fish tanks will stay cleaner longer (make sure your water is filtered if using for a fish tank).
• There will be more sudsing (use less soap and detergents) and less shampoo that needs to be used
• Hot water tank will last longer, plumbing will last longer, dishwasher, etc.
• Excellent for gardens – shortens crop cycle so garden yields more in less time
• Makes your hair shiny
• Lower surface tension means it penetrates clothing better to release stains more effectively

DOES IT WORK ON ANY TYPE OF PIPE?

No, it does not work out of the box on braided stainless steel /galvanized steel pipes. Special setup applies – call for details.  It can be used with any type of PVC or PEX pipe and copper.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

It’s power and service last a lifetime. You will not need to replace it. You will enjoy its savings and benefits for many, many years.

WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED “STABILIZATION PERIOD”?

Stabilization is the process of removing all the existing scale from inside of water pipes, fixtures and appliances. It is required that after installing the Magnetizer^® home “RWE” System, you open all your taps (hot & cold) at all sinks, showers and bathtubs while flushing the toilets for a period of 10-15 minutes once a week for the first three weeks. This flushing technique will accelerate the Stabilization Period enabling you to enjoy the life-time benefits of permanent, naturally conditioned, softer water quicker. During the flushing cycle, some sediment may be deposited in the bathtub.

Additionally, your water heater should be flushed by opening the bottom valve and allowing the water to run out until it runs clear. This should be done at approximately two to three week intervals, until you open the bottom valve and the water runs out clear. If your water heater is a year old or less, this flushing requirement should not be necessary. If you have any questions about how to flush your water heater contact your local plumber.

Stabilization Period in homes may vary, from immediate (5-10 minutes after opening taps upon Magnetizer® installation) to two weeks and even thirty days. In industrial applications this can take up to three months.

In auto engine fuel-air-coolant treatment by the Magnetizer^® EPM system the Stabilization Period is the amount of time it takes to dissolve the carbon/varnish build-up and magnetically saturate all the steel parts between the fuel units and the combustion chamber. It is factory recommended time allowed to saturate magnetically metal parts, is cleaning internal parts of carbon varnish allowing engine to show greater than normal amplitude of savings. Economy may initially fluctuate as the carbon and varnish are naturally eliminated during the Stabilization Period. After stabilization the engine will run smoother and start easier. The Stabilization Period lasts approximately 30 days/1,600 miles. The economy/performance will increase over the period resulting in higher efficiency. The EPM provides most engines with “HIGH-TEST” performance while using Lower Octane Gas, thereby creating even greater savings.

WHAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE DOES IT REQUIRE?

None. It is a ceramic permanent magnet originally engineered by NASA that will not lose its power and will not degrade with time. We give you a Life-Time Power Warranty and will replace our systems for free should they ever loose power in normal operating conditions.

IS MAGNETIZER DIFFICULT TO INSTALL?

No. Its as easy as tying your shoe. No tools are needed and you can take the Magnetizer with you if you move.

DOES MAGNETIZER SOFTEN WATER?

Yes, but in its own, distinctive, non-chemical way. “Softening” usually means replacing some of the most essential minerals in the water with sodium (which doctors warn can be harmful to health), or removing those minerals with special filters. Both of these methods present problems because of their pollution, health risks and/or wasted water. With the reduced surface tension of water after magnetization (same metric you will find with chemical softeners), Magnetizer^® creates soft water behavior. The character inherent in hard water is its crystallizing phenomenon, which produces scale.When hard water is properly magnetized, the nucleating effect of the crystallization (scaling) is reversed. Judging by the lowered surface tension that is a regular characteristic of chemically soft water, as well as that of Magnetizer^®, the latter in fact “softens” water (shows lowered dynes per sq. inch), like its chemical based counterparts.

WILL IT REMOVE MINERALS FROM THE WATER?

No. That’s what makes magnetizered water so healthy for people, animals and plants. Our magnetic scale control systems will keep the minerals in solution, so they will not accumulate (form hard crystals) in plumbing systems and at heat exchange locations. Lime scale develops when the minerals in hard water precipitate out of solution as water is heated and form hard crystals called Calcite. By passing water through a properly designed and applied magnetic field, the physical nature of the water and calcium molecules change so as to allow the formation of less dense crystals called Aragonite. Since Aragonite is very light weight, it will remain suspended in the water flow as it passes through the plumbing system. New scale formation is preventedand existing scale is removed over time. In closed systems (industrial boilers) the Aragonite slush descaled by Magnetizer^® has to be physically removed from the equipment.

WILL MAGNETIZER AFFECT PH OF A FLUID?

Yes. It will stabilize it, which is what you want. As a result of the magnetic influence, fluids are configured and ionized such that the total numbers of H+ and OH- ions are forced to move toward parity. This is a direct result of being placed in physical close proximity to other molecules that are able to accept these ions into their structures. By accelerating the general ionic content, an acidic fluid is forced towards becoming alkaline and an alkaline fluid moves towards acidic—that is, neutralization. Additionally, this unique ionic activity buffers the pH, actually reducing the wide variations found in fluids.

CAN IT REDUCE CORROSION?

Yes, in two distinct ways:
1) The magnetic influence helps to neutralize and buffer the fluid (see question above).
2) Dissimilar metals create an electrical charge that alters equipment surfaces.
By removing scale formation, Magnetizer^® water softener magnets can eliminate scale-related electrolytic corrosion. This type of corrosion is caused by the adherence, and subsequent electrochemical reaction, of scale to a surface.
When water flows past the powerful water magnets, they magnetize the flowing fluid and disrupt the natural bonding of water molecules—altering the structure of the scale-forming minerals. The molecules of contaminates such as calcium carbonate remain suspended in the water flow while it passes through your plumbing system and hence reduce corrosion.

CAN MAGNETIZER SYSTEMS HAVE A  BENEFICIAL EFECT ON PROCESS FLUIDS THAT ARE PRESENTLY CONDITIONED WITH CHEMICAL ADDITIVES?

Yes. When magnetizered, process fluids mix more readily with conditioners because the lowered surface tension creates “wetter” behavior and the uniform bonding improves the mixture. The chemicals are utilized more effectively. Briefly, the magnetic influence increases the fluid’s affinity for the conditioner – reducing the conditioner’s normal precipitation from the fluid and, as a result, the same conditioner works longer and as a result is less expensive.

CAN ANYTHING ADVERSELY AFFECT MAGNETIZED FLUID?

Yes. Usually a strong physical disturbance can have a negative impact on magnetized water. Since the molecules have been forced into a rigid configuration by the magnets, any turbulence caused by a pump impeller, water meter or similar physical disturbance will cause the magnetized fluid to lose some of its magnetically produced orientation and qualities. This phenomenon is called vibrational depolarization. For this reason, we always install our systems after such disturbances; for example, after the water meter on a straight piece of pipe, and on the hot water tank outlet pipe after any elbows. Sometimes we recommend increasing the magnetic boost using additional units mounted side by side. Similarly, magnetized fluids that lie dormant for a long period of time will eventually lose their induced orientation. Water treated by Magnetizer^® retains its magnetized state through up to 200 feet of pipe. The magnetic effect lasts for up to 48 hours in stored water treated by Magnetizer^® magnets. Since most households use their water system regularly, they can be assured of a constant supply of properly conditioned water treated with Magnetizer^® magnets.

DOES HEAT AFFECT A MAGNETIZED FLUID?

Heat itself does not affect a magnetized fluid. What affects a magnetized fluid is the process of heating. Currents and physical movements such as water coming to a rolling boil can cause disorientation to the desired magnetic effect. For this reason, we always install our systems on the outlet pipe from the water heater.

HOW MAGNETIZER COMPARE TO ELECTROMAGNETS?

Magnetizer^® has been scientifically designed to use its strong, focused, unipolar field to go through ANY pipe, PVC / glass included, and not perpendicular to it, on its surface, like electromagnets work with PVC (or glass). In general plastic does not conduct electricity. It has no free electrons. All the electrons are tightly bound to the atoms. That’s why plastic is inert. Although there are conductive plastics (special polymers), PVC is not one of them, and even if it conducts it does it not nearly as well as copper. PVC has the addition of plasticizers, of which most widely used being phthalates. In this form, it is not conductive and is used for example for insulation on wires, electrical cables, etc. Also plastic has potential to collect static charge on its surface (a possible hazardous situation). So not only PVC does not conduct electricity, but all the electro-magnetic charge travels over the surface, not through the body of the plastic pipe. That’s why at water technology show in Marseille, France (“Hydrotop”) our distributor has made side-to-side comparisons and electromagnets DID NOT work both on plastic (PVC) and glass pipes, whereas Magnetizer^® was performing very well. For more information please click here.

IS THERE ANY SCIENCE BEHIND THE MAGNETIZER?

Yes. The answer to this question lies in Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). This rather impressive sounding word is what scientists refer to as the study of the dynamics of electrically conducting fluids and in our case the study of the effects of magnetic energy on fluids. Michael Faraday (click here) discovered that water flowing past a conductive material will generate a weak electrical charge. This discovery (made over 120 years ago) is the basis that we use today when treating water and other fluids with magnetism. Many principles are at work. Some of them we understand while others are not yet fully understood. Simply put, MHD is a physical water treatment using advanced magnetic technology for neutralizing the lime scale caused by Calcium Carbonate in hard water. For a more complex explanation of MHD please visit wikipedia.

HOW MUCH WILL MAGNETIZER SOLVE ME ON FUEL EXPENSES?

The actual savings will depend on your car make/model/year, on the driving conditions, and your driving style. In most cases, the savings range between 15% and 25% of your total fuel spending, whether it is gas or diesel.
