8. Can effects of
magnetic water treatment be simply
demonstrated rated?
Yes, by observations of
changes of water behavior due to slight
decrease of surface tension such as
wetting and drying.
The surface tension
forces the water to form drops and
prevents it from wetting dry surfaces and
powders.
A minor decrease of
surface tension changes the action of
water in many ways which are easy to
observe.
Observation I
Place two small, measured
amounts of any detergent into two test
tubes and half-fill both with water: one
with untreated; the other with physically
treated water. Shake vigorously. The test
tube with untreated water will have a
layer of foam on the surface of' the
water; the one with the treated water
will be filled to the top of the test
tube with foam.
The foam on top of' the
untreated water disappears after an hour.
The foam on top of' the treated water
will hardly diminish. A repetition of the
same experiment the next day will give
similar results. After three days no
difference of' the water call be found.
Observation 2
Freshly developed
photographic film watered in non-treated
water dries within 20 minutes; washed in
treated water it dries in 12 minutes
under the same conditions.
Observation 3
A car hosed off with untreated
water may be covered with water spots if
it is not wiped dry. Well-treated water
leaves no water spots.
Observation 4
Ice cubes produced in any
standard freezer turn out differently
when they are made from magnetically
treated water.
Untreated water makes ice
cubes that look opaque and that can he
removed from the freezer trays easily in
whole blocks. Magnetically treated water
makes ice that looks as clear as glass.
When removed from the freezer trays it
tends to shatter into ice splinters.
Observation 5
Ordinary soap leaves a soapy ring on the
line of untreated water in the bath tub.
No such ring can he found when the water
is treated.
A ring of hard lime scale
baked firmly on a porcelain dish by long-time
use with untreated water can he removed
with an acid bath. Or the lime scale on
the same dish can he wiped off easily
after 15 to 20 minutes under a stream of
treated water.
Observation 6
The hard lime scale deposit on the tiles
of a swimming pool filled with untreated
water can be removed only by scraping
with pumice stone or with acid. Or, if
the pool water is magnetically treated,
the lime deposit becomes soft after three
days and can he wiped off by hand.
9. How long will
permanent magnets keep their strength?
Modern magnets are truly
permanent!
During the last century
and up to 1940, all magnets were made
from steel. Steel receives its desired
qualities by a quenching process which
preserves its magnetic structure to room
temperature where its desirable structure
deteriorates to a less useful quality
very slowly. Also, magnets made from
steel lose strength very slowly over
years. This "aging'' process had to
be taken into account by all industries
up to about 1950.
This changed with the
invention of alni and alnico magnets.
Their material did not change with age.
They lose their magnetic strength only by
energy interventions, such as strong
currents nearby or lightning strikes.
With the introduction of
ceramic magnets, even such energy
interventions do not change the magnetic
strength. They are magnetically weaker
than the alnicos but they cannot be de-magnetized
except by high temperature.
After 1970, the invention
of the magnets containing "rare-earth"
like samarium and neodymium made
available extremely powerful magnets that
have not shown any evidence of losing
strength with time.
Magnetic treatment
devices may lose their effectiveness by
becoming contaminated or plugged up by
ironous materials. But they cannot lose
their effectiveness by any weakening of
the strength of permanent magnet.
10. Can the
performance of a magnetic water treatment
device be predicted with certainty?
No, the device will
perform perfectly, but some types of
water may not be responsive to treatment,
such as rainwater and mountain spring
water.
Different types of water
respond differently to any type of
treatment. The reason is the difference
of the physical structure of the water.
Water delivered by community water
systems may be a mixture of waters from
different sources.
Example: The
water of the city of Claremont.
Located at the foothills of the San
Gabriel mountains the city water is often
mainly the water coming directly from the
mountains. Weeks later it may he mixed
with ground water pumped from the San
Gabriel river. For the rest of the year
it may contain more and more water from
the Colorado River.
Depending on the supply-demand
balance, the response of the water may
differ from hour to hour from the same
faucet. The official "quality'' of
the water as quoted by the water district
may be kept at a constant level by
controlling the mixtures of the water.
As long as nothing more
is known about the physical structure of
the water - the size, form and number of
its super-molecules - the response of the
water to any treatment and its
performance for different activities
cannot he predicted.
International scientific
literature contains many hundreds of
scientific reports from all over the
world which report observations identical
to the ones given here. It is difficult
to explain why so many scientific
publications which consistently report
identical results can be ignored by a few
"water quality" organizations
in the USA. Perhaps it is because much of
the research from foreign countries is
untranslated. Nevertheless, it takes a
gross arrogance to insist that only such
results that have been achieved in one's
own laboratory can be accepted!
