The Magnetizer & Water Technology

About mono-pole magnetism -

Water flowing in the soil is affected by the Earth's natural magnetic field and has a higher potential than the surrounding rock. This creates an attractive force, dissolving the limestone and other mineral salts (mainly calcium and magnesium), much the same as sugar or salt dissolves in a glass of water. One has to remember that these minerals play an extremely important role in the metabolism of all living organisms, which constitutes the foundation of all biological processes. The minerals dissolved in soil are subsequently carried into pipes, installations, & water process equipment. These metals having in turn a higher potential than water, attract those minerals which when drawn, seed and conglomerate (crystallize) back into rock-like formation, i.e. "calcite" ("scale"). When the soluble calcium bicarbonate, CaHCO3 changes to the less hydrated, insoluble calcium carbonate (CaCO3), the result is doubly harmful since water loses these beneficial minerals, and the accumulating sediment destroys water installations. Because of the overwhelming negativity of the CO3 component, the Calcium Carbonate molecule possesses a net negative charge, resulting in a few attractive forces between it and water (in untreated water there is always a low concentration of Carbonate that remains dissolved).

Scale is one of the basic problems that exist in the technological processes that deal with water (heating, cooling, chilling, heat exchanging, evaporation, condensation, etc.). This is the phenomena that harms equipment and installations by the crystalline precipitates due to the loss of CO2 gas from water when its temperature rises. These crystals above all, composed of calcium and magnesium salts, form a thermal isolator, which is very hard and difficult to remove since calcite appears in a less hydrated form with hard surface bonds. The scale problems mean only one thing: needless consumption of energy for water heating (each millimeter of scale represents 8-10% energy loss); imminent corrosion deterioration due to scale-metal electrolysis, as well as overheating of walls of the heating elements; clogging of piping; money spent on cleaning chemicals; brushing; accompanying down-time; or the polluted environment (water table). This is why we highly recommend use of the MAGNETIZER and make it our mission to educate people about its benefits.

Ground water contains thousands of particles and microelements whose impurities give rise to the surrounding electron shells: cations (+), anions (-). "Pure" water is a polar liquid, i.e. part of the water molecule has a positive and part of it has a negative, electrical charge; but, overall, the net electrical charge is negative. Thus, the water molecule being a small magnet (dipole), one may effect its magnetic (or electric) field by causing the molecule to turn or rotate in one direction or the other, taking on a positive or negative higher potential, depending on whether the S (South, positive) or N (North, negative) outside magnetic field had been applied.

It has been firmly established in the world scientific theatre that the Positive, expanding, field influence of the South Pole makes liquids more soluble (lowering surface tension); thereby hydrating, dissolving, and removing calcite and other mineral/various water by-product build-up in pipes and equipment. The Positive field hydrates all mineral build-up by de-clustering the liquid and solid pre- and post nucleated crystalline scale material. Under the same magnetic molecular dynamics, the Positive Pole also de-clusters paraffin build-up in oil well or transmission lines. Such a S-pole-induced change in the electron orientation affects the aggregation and crystallization of a water molecule causing increased hydration (water saturation), solubility and selective ionization, thus changing fluid physically, structurally and behaviorally. The mobility of ions in water solution is considerably increased. This creates a more solvent fluid flow (which e.g. impregnates the membranes or filters more efficiently), increased flocculation, i.e. greater particle size (causing higher filtration efficiency) or the electromotive force of the softener's solution raised to 99.9 percent efficiency. The negative contracting field influence of the North Pole has a diametrically opposite effect on fluids. It clusters (and hardens) minerals and paraffin and increases surface tension. It is used in precipitation and separation (e.g. sewage treatment). Applying the MAGNETIZER's extremely strong and focused magnetic field (try to put together two "halves" of "RWE-S" system to sense what kind of strength we are here talking about), the natural process that occurs underground in soil is imitated due to magnetic polarization of all these particles when the electron shells change their potential.

Normally, the molecules in a fluid are in a completely random configuration, due to having slight natural variance in their electrical net charges. As polar bodies, they will react uniquely to the magnetic stimuli, depending upon the net charge of the outside force. For example, a positive charge (South pole) would physically configure the fluid so that the negative poles of the molecules were closest to the magnetic source (opposite charges attract, like charges repel). After passing through the influence of the direct, external magnetic force there is a transformation of the randomly oriented population into an ordered matrix of molecules: the molecules with greatest opposite net charge will be closest to the stimulus and conversely, those with the greatest like net charge will be farthest away. The energized and amplified (magnetized) molecules, like little magnets, uniformly line up end-to-end as the net charges are all equalized by being energized by the external magnet influence. Thus, the polarization consists of changing the chaotic molecules of liquid or gas fluid into such fluid, which has equal charge and is uniformly linearized. Exposure to a magnetic South pole field affects an atom's electron spin in such a way as to compact the size of the electron orbit. For the H2O molecule, the hydrogens, which are bonded to oxygen by "sharing" the oxygen's electrons, are drawn closer to the oxygen atom. This action changes the bond lengths and in turn, the bond angles, from a triangular formation to a more close linear configuration. In the magnetized "linear" condition, the more positively charged hydrogens (H) tend to shield the negatively charged oxygen. The result shielding is what changes the net negative charge of the non-magnetized water molecule to the net positive charge of the magnetized water. Therefore, magnetizing will change the water's net charge so that the carbonate molecules are not allowed to aggregate and crystallize. This also works on dissolving existing crystalline structures (previous scaling) by cleaving bonds between the carbonate molecule via the same charge influence - an actual magnetic attraction of the carbonate molecule to the water molecule.

The random configuration of a water molecules is changed to a charged and organized form with their shape & size also modified. In the process, the associations clustering around the suspended particles are broken up as the molecules line up in polarization. The fluid's paramagnetic properties allow for more dissolved material to be contained in it due to increased efficiency of the fluid's available space. It appears that the magnetic treatment allows the carbon dioxide (CO2) to stay dissolved in water of a higher temperature. Calcium carbonate is converted back to calcium bicarbonate. With the increased solubility of CO2, pH is lowered, which also accelerates the de-scaling, the end product of which is aragonite - a soft hydrated form of calcite crystal obtained through its increased hydration. It is now maintained in a "colloidal" suspension (microscopic solution) ready to be mechanically flushed from the attached surface and not placing itself on the pipes or hot water heater; instead, its beneficial effect staying in drinking water. This "aragonite soup" can become rather thick as our past experience has indicated. The polarized cations, such as calcium and magnesium, associate (micro) electrically in a water solution with other complementary particles (anions) in the form of ionic conglomerates and continue their way with the water flow.

That the magnetic field amplifies the potential in water (electromotive force) making it greater than that of the plumbing (thus the minerals are re-attracted into water) and it maintains the "magnetic memory effect", can be empirically proven by a simple voltage test (use a more precise volt meter with the L.E.D. readout, and not the gauge type one) of hard water by measuring the millivolts (mV) before and after the "Magnetizer" installation on the cold water tap (or entrance to home and farthest tap therefrom). It will show change from approx. -0.5mV to an approx. +1.0 mV. On the average with the MAGNETIZER, there is an increase of 1.5 millivolt . Please note that other bi- or multipolar systems show no mV increase or very little. A report from "Science News" (Sept. 6, 1980) by Ellingsen, John Hopkins University, indicates the "memory effect" was still available for days after treatment.

With simple mathematics, the workings of the MAGNETIZER in water can be proven thus: H20 has a net negative charge, say: -300 mV, whereas iron pipe is electrically neutral, i.e. = 0, thus 0 > -300, and it attracts the minerals contained in flowing water, which starts building up scale. In this example, say Ca = -350 mV and Mg = -400 mV; thus 0 > -300 > - 350 > -400. Upon installation of the MAGNETIZER with its very strong positive magnetic pole, say of +310 mV, the equation above is effected in a following manner: H2O = -300 mV (before) + 310 mV (with the MAGNETIZER) = +10 mV; whereas Ca = -350 mV + 310 mV = -10 mV and Mg = -400 mV + 310 mV = -60 mV. Finally, we get: +10 > 0 > -10 > -60, and this magnetic process can be thus proven mathematically; whereas water having a stronger electric charge attracts minerals that do not precipitate anymore on the pipe's walls.

Due to the movement of the ordered molecules, the magnetic moments of the shifting electrical charges add up partially, creating an electromagnetic field whose influence on the passing fluid can be considerable. Depending on its velocity, periodic eddying currents inducing magnetic microfields (Tolmien-Szlichting wave packet) are generated at the walls. Maintaining vortices during the laminar (non-turbulent) pass is known as the magnetic memory effect of a passing fluid. Experiments indicate that a container of magnetized water left standing for over a year still had a small portion of its magnetic effect remaining; however, magnetized fluids that lie dormant for months at a time will eventually lose their induced orientation.

 

Due to the turbulence ("vibrational depolarization"), the molecules of the passing fluid are exposed to these conglomerates, maintain their magnetic memory effect or declustered state, for approx. 50 meters from the MAGNETIZER placement. At this distance the molecules act on existent scale deposits, destabilizing their chemical bonding, and transforming existing salts. This way also the wall surfaces of the piping system and process equipment are protected in a definite and permanent way against scale deposits, acidity as well as the electrolytic corrosion. On long piping the MAGNETIZER effect should be reinforced (magnets placed) every 50 meters.

Air (oxygen: valence -2) circulating in the installation has a strong negative charge that favors the electro-chemical process of corrosion. The magnetic field charges positively air and destabilizes (micro)electrically this process, creating a difference of potential between the piping and air which permits to isolate and protect the system in a reliable and permanent way. The electrolytic corrosion is stopped by magnetically binding the excess (free) hydrogen H+ (in acidic fluids) or hydroxyl OH- (in alkaline fluids) ions in the water responsible for embrittlement from piping, which are now bound up to other molecules. This buffers the pH, reducing the wide pH variations found in fluids, regardless of outside influences. This is achieved by electro statically changing the neutral water to a positive state, whereas, the increased electron excitement (voltage) potentiates an immediate bonding of the free-ions to the fluid at molecular level. In addition to this mechanism, once the potentiated fluid hydrates any mineral build-up, the pipe material remains clean and cannot ionically dissolve into the fluid as there are NO free-ions to nucleate with the pipe material.

The MAGNETIZER always works, and this can be measured not only by a laboratory analysis before and after its installation, i.e. cation content (sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium); anion content (carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorures, sulfates); conductivity; pH; dry matter content, etc.; but by the physical effects ( 50-100% less salt used in softeners, lower electricity costs, etc.); or by easily observable changes, such as clean pipes/installations, calcium visible by "the naked eye" when flushed from a system (e.g. auto radiators); sludge formed in the closed water circulation system (to be removed by hand); or impurities and minerals evacuated while opening the water taps in the open circulation systems. The Stabilization Period normally lasts from 1-3 weeks at homes or 4-9 weeks in commerce. However, due to age of piping, scaling accumulated throughout the years; type of casing; hardness of water; its iron content; physical disturbances that may be present, etc.; this may vary and extend in time at a particular location.

The term "pH" coming from "potential Hydrogen (ion activity)", is commonly known as the balance between alkalinity and acidity in water. Numerically, it can be loosely defined as the concentration of hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyl (OH-) ions actually measured in solution. As the concentration of H+ increases (and OH- decreases), the solution is identified as "acidic" and the pH number decreases. When the concentration of H+ decreases (and OH- it increases), the solution is considered to be "basic", and the pH number increases. The range runs from zero pH (a complete acidity), to 14 pH which is the maximum alkalinity. At equal concentrations of H+ and OH-, the solution is neutral, and the pH is seven (7). As a result of the magnetic influence, fluids are configured and ionized such that the total number of H+ and OH- ions are forced to move toward parity (this is the direct result of being placed in physical close proximity to other molecules that are able to accept these ions into their structures). MAGNETIZER has the effect of stabilizing the pH level of water, keeping it at or near the 6.8 (ideal) to 7.1 range. Bear in mind, however, that highly acidic water cannot be fully buffered (stabilized). By accelerating the general ionic content the MAGNETIZER forces an acid fluid toward basic and basic fluid toward acid (neutralization). Additionally this unique ionic activity buffers through the faster, compressed, and oriented electron spin; the pH actually reducing the wide pH variations found in fluids and keeping a constant pH regardless of outside influences. The effect of this is tremendously important in swimming pool water conditioning, in the water we drink, and industrial use.

Without changing the chemical patterns of water, the MAGNETIZER lowers its surface tension, neutralizes pH, creates ability for oxygen to better dissolve in water ("fuller oxygenation"), and reverse the hard water condition to a soft water behavior. Even though, from the chemical point of view, water is not soft, since its chemical composition is not changed with the MAGNETIZER treatment; however, its physical properties are changed.

In general, the MAGNETIZER does not add anything to water nor takes out, i.e. the grains of hardness do not change - whatever chemical comes to the system - it will leave the system. Without the MAGNETIZER, if water enters the pipes, say with 100 grams of calcium, it leaves them with say, 80 g. The calcium "left behind" forms the scale (rock) on the pipe; therefore, less of it will leave with water. With "Magnetizer", when e.g. 100 grams of calcium enter in water, then 100 g of it will leave with water. In terms of water softening, soft water is defined in terms of the surface tension, or wet ability ("wetter water" or greater solubility). The tests conducted showed the hard water to possess a surface tension of 71 dynes per square centimeter, however, when the groups of water molecules were declustered by running the fluid through the MAGNETIZER field, the surface tension dropped to 62 dynes per cm2 (Crippen Analytical Laboratories). As indicated by the test and defined by science, a properly focused strong magnetic field, as delivered by the MAGNETIZER's monopole technology, actually reverses hard water behavior into the soft water one. And as Science is the field of behavioral study, the MAGNETIZER water conditioners make soft water from hard water and it is accurate to state that it softens water.

Therefore, with the MAGNETIZER one doesn't have to use softening chemicals anymore (or their use is considerably reduced in heavy industrial applications), and still can obtain all the benefits of soft water. There are no harmful side effects, and water is proclaimed safe and healthy for human consumption due to calcium and other minerals contained in it (that are held in suspension). Being energized & declustered, water becomes "wetter" and healthier; being also oxygenated, is now contributing to better metabolism of living organisms (human, animal, plants).

Agriculture

The late Dr. Albert Roy Davies received a patent in 1950 for magnetically treating seeds to stimulate plant growth. Use of magnets in agriculture is not new and the leading role in this respect goes to the country of Israel. The MAGNETIZER mono-pole agricultural systems have had explosive results (e.g. cucumbers growth by 20%) in the Israelis greenhouses, dunas - Mundimex is currently shipping magnets to Israel, where their acceptance is growing by the month and due to water being a scarce resource and the MAGNETIZER serving well the kibbutzes and other agricultural establishments in the Holy Land, we expect this country to become shortly one of the most "magnetized" regions of the world.

Mundimex current tests done in Colombia on yield of cauliflowers irrigated with magnetized water showed over 20% increase in weight (important growth of the green parts to better protect white meat against the sun). Past tests on irrigation installation on alfalfa fields in Oregon have resulted in the 650% yield increase, 42% reduction of water needs and electric costs to pump it. Controlled studies of magnetic treatment of squash, tomatoes and cucumber seeds produced a 96% germination rate in only 3 days, whereas the untreated seeds had the normal germination rate of 73% in 14 days.

The use of the MAGNETIZER in farms in Europe results in better hen laying, better metabolism of animals, descaling of milk stone in dairies, etc. The lowered surface tension creates greater water solubility and penetration. This effect results in breaking-up the clods of soil surrounding and restricting the root cilia. The de-clodding frees the cilia for greater surface area to absorb more water and minerals, hence an increase in root and plant growth. Also minerals now pass easier through the water into the roots. Third, and equally important are the electromotive forces that are transferred from the water to the plant. These forces, as shown in thousands of experiments and real life applications, specially stimulate growth activity. 150% increase in crop yields has been reported from many locations worldwide (compared e.g. with a 37% increase after use of the bi-polar energizers.

A 30-day University study shows the difference in growth of plants fed without (left) and with the "magnetized" water (MAGNETIZER®, type "RWE-S" used for the experiment)

Scientists from Mineral Engineering Dept. of the renown and prestigious Israel Institute of Technology TECHNION in Haifa (see Bibliography, Prof. I. J. Lin) confirm that the principle of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) allows to lower surface tension of water, causing increased solubility and penetration, which stimulates root systems. As per MGI conducted tests in agricultural applications (bulletin MCBBr 8'97 ), water treated with the MAGNETIZER de-clogs and breaks up the compressed soil giving the roots freedom to grow and absorb nutrients more quickly. The root system excited by the electro-motive forces of the MAGNETIZER, promotes healthier, bigger, and quicker plant growth. In drip irrigation, the mineral/scale barrier known as the bowl effect, is dissolved, thereby enabling and encouraging the root cilia to grow and expand farther into the soil
 

The Benefits Of The MAGNETIZER Use In Agriculture:

Increased root growth due to increased absorption of the dissolved minerals and nutrients means high yields and higher profits.

Soil holds moisture longer encouraging overall growth and saving water costs.

Water conservation equals less man hours, less maintenance and less energy required to pump and irigate.

Increased fertilizer efficiency - cuts fertilizer costs, also the fertilizer is more readily absorbed by the plant and is not wasted in run-off water.

The descaling of piping and clogged water jets improves efficiency, saves maintenance time, extends the life of the irrigation system and saves money.

Ease of installation and lifetime warranty - saving money and bringing better yields.
 

Swimming Pools and Spas

Numerous minute particles (i.e., minerals, dirt, skin cells, debris, body lotions and tanning oils, etc.) get into the water, and because they are so small, they simply pass through the filter and continue to build-up, creating a "bath tube ring". This saturating of water with foreign substances makes it dull, irritating and unattractive as well as interfering with the sanitizer's effectiveness. This buildup of foreign particles and the reaction with the sanitizer causes burning eyes, dry skin, dry hair and dangerous chemical odor. The normal cure is to superchlorinate to burn off and oxidize these minute particles. Superchlorination is expensive and makes the pool/spa unusable for some time. Also it adds to water control problems.

MAGNETIZER helps at two levels. First, particles that would normally pass right through the filter (both suspended and dissolved) take on an electrical charge (are polarized) that causes them to clump (bind together) into larger particles, called ion floe clusters. They are large enough to be efficiently removed now by the filter system, which has itself taken on the electrical charge. This process is known as polarized media filtration. The result is a system that seldom needs to be superchlorinated. Normally chlorine level in residential pools has to reach 0.6 - 1.0 parts per million and in the commercial pools - must be at least l.0 ppm. With the MAGNETIZER most chemicals, other than chlorine/ bromine can be discontinued except for one half the normal rate of sanitizer. Chlorine/bromine can be substantially reduced (as much as 60%) with safety because: A) Bacteria and algae are under constant attack by the MAGNETIZER's powerful focused field to limit and control their growth; B) The reduction of water surface tension and the increase ionic activity combines to make chlorine/bromine more effective as a sanitizing agent; C) the MAGNETIZER stabilizes pH in the range that the sanitizers are more effective.

If other chemicals are used, such as pH stabilizers, it's best to start with 1/2 the normal amount and to wait 24 hours to allow a chemical reaction before using more. Later one will be able to use less than 1/2 -1/3 the normal amounts of these chemicals, if any at all. With the MAGNETIZER installed one can notice improved water clarity and reduced chemicals odors, less eye irritation and skin drying. The water now feels soft and silky.

Secondly, since less chemicals are required in a MAGNETIZER system, there is less chemical build-up. When chlorinating chemicals are added to a pool, the net effect is an increase in the pH of the pool. This can put the pool out of pH balance which can only be lowered through the addition of acid to lower the alkaline condition. By inducing the proper magnetic field on water, the MAGNETIZER causes a cellular rupturing effect known as lysing. Consequently, the rupturing of the cell walls of the bacteria results in the death of the micro organism. Right now, much of the organisms are destroyed without the need of chemicals, and thus the anti-bacterial agents and pH stabilization chemicals are reduced and in some cases not required at all. The normal safe pH operating zone for operation of a pool/spa is between 7.4 and 7.6. Above that range ugly scale can begin to attach itself to surfaces, inside of the plumbing and on the inside of the heater. When the pH is below 7.4 corrosion begins to attack the expensive metal parts of the system (heater, filter, pumps, etc.) and cause pitting of the pool/spa surfaces. In addition, corrosion of the metal pans puts minerals into suspension in the water. These minerals will cause unsightly stains on the pool/spas surfaces. Once stained, the surfaces must be acid bathed, and in many cases, refinished. The result is unnecessary expense and an out-of-service system.

The MAGNETIZER extends the safe pH operating range without worry about scaling, staining or corrosion. The result is a system that protects one's investment and reduces maintenance cost. Stabilized pH reduces chemical cost, since pH fluctuations (either too high or too low) can render the sanitizer (chlorine/ bromine) ineffective and cause expensive damage to equipment. Fluctuations of pH are caused by either a deficiency or excess of electrons, whereas pH control is normally done by chemicals that are either rich in excess electrons or have a shortage of electrons. The MAGNETIZER naturally supplies the necessary electrons to the water by passing it through a powerful magnetic field in the same way electricity is generated by passing a wire through a magnetic field. This natural, continuous supply of electrons (pH adjustment) occurs without additional chemicals and the resulting cost. The pool energizer is simply strapped around the return line after filter, pump, and heater. The spa energizer is installed on line

just before the heater. Scale and calcium will start to dissolve and return to suspension in the water. This may cause a period of cloudy water in one or two days. One may shock the water if one is in a hurry to use a pool. The best way is to or simply wait for the enhanced filtration of the MAGNETIZER pool or spa energizer to clarify the system. On spa applications the "bathtube ring" will start to dissolve within 5 minutes of running the pump and the pH will usually rise (if below 7.0) & the water will feel silky.

One has to watch filter pressure since the MAGNETIZER will start to coagulate solid minerals, algae, etc. that are in the water, allowing them to be filtered out. This may plug up a dirty filter. If filter pressure rises, one has to backwash or remove and clean the filter. Back-washing or filter cleaning may again be necessary if filter pressure is above normal. The true cost of draining a pool / spa is not only the water to re fill it, but also the labor, energy to reheat chemicals to rebalance and an inconvenience caused by an out-of-service system.

The MAGNETIZER breaks the emulsion, of the oils in water and keeps it in suspension until it coagulates into clumps to be filtered out. In addition, magnetized water will remove built-up scum that has already attached itself to pool/ spa surfaces. The speed with which this happens varies from a few minutes to a few weeks depending on its composition. Except for vacuuming the dirt that falls to the bottom, the MAGNETIZER makes a pool / spa almost self cleaning resulting in less labor cost. The MAGNETIZER doesn't just save time and money in the short run, since it controls corrosion. It adds the long term protection to an investment. Although cost/time savings (applying chemicals, monitoring the results, scrubbing the sides, taking more frequent than necessary readings, changing water, acid bathing, refinishing, etc.) and protection of equipment are important the real benefits come from clearer, cleaner and more sanitary water.

All this has been evidenced by the practical experience of thousands of users, or tests made (see below), amongst others, by Atam Test, Inc. in the U.S. The aerobic plate count prior to magnetization of the water was 11,000 cfu (coliform units)/ml. 72 hours after the MAGNETIZER installation, the plate count of the bacteria dropped to 2,200 cfu/ml. This was a drop of 80% in bacteria and the 80% reduction in chemical needed to create the same plate count reduction. The graphic results of the analysis made by this Washington state based laboratory are included. Another test, with Aqua Science Consultants conducted in Australia on a 65,800 liter (17,108 gallon) swimming pool relates to Total Plate Count of 145,000 cfu/ml prior to the MAGNETIZER installation. Seven weeks after the "R-2 T/S" system installation the TPC dropped to 15,000 cfu/ml. [90% drop].
