• Decorative water scapes
• Fountains
• Whirlpools
MAGNETIZER Reduces
Chlorine/Bromine Needs
With MAGNETIZER chlorine/bromine can be substantially reduced (as much
as 60%) with safety because Bacteria and algae are under constant attack by
MAGNETIZER’s powerful focused field to limit and control their growth. The
reduction of water surface tension and the increased ionic activity combines
to make chlorine/bromine more effective as a sanitizing agent.
MAGNETIZER Dissolves
Swimmer's Body Oils & Lotions
Numerous minute particles (i.e., dirt, skin cells, debris, body and
tanning oils, etc.) get into the water, and because they are so small,
simply pass through the filter and continue to buildup. This makes the water
dull, irritating and unattractive. as well as interfering with the
sanitizer’s effectiveness. This build-up of foreign particles and the
reaction with the sanitizer causes burning eyes, dry skin, dry hair and
chemical odor. The normal cure is to super-chlorinate to burn off or oxidize
these minute particles. Super-chlorination is expensive and makes the
pool/spa unusable for some time. MAGNETIZER’s powerful focused field
polarizes these particles and binds them together in large enough clumps to
be efficiently removed by the filter system. The result is a system that
seldom needs to be super-chlorinated.
Skin oils, tanning lotions,
skin cells and minerals in the water also combine at the water line to create a
“bath tub ring”. Removal of this ring requires a chemical to dissolve and
hard work to remove. The chemical used to dissolve this rings gets into the
water to add to water control problems. 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 days to a few weeks depending on its
composition. Except for vacuuming the dirt that falls to the bottom,
MAGNETIZER makes a pool/spa almost self-cleaning, resulting in less labor
cost.
MAGNETIZER Stabilized pH
reduces Chemical Costs
pH is the measure of acidity and alkalinity in the water. When pH
fluctuates (either too highor too low) it can render the sanitizer
ineffective and cause expensive damage to equipment. pH fluctuations are
caused by either a deficiency or excess of electrons. pH control is normally
done by chemicals that are either rich in excess electrons or have a
shortage of electrons. 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 its resulting cost.
MAGNETIZER Reduced Pool/Spa Draining
Although water never wears out, it can become saturated with foreign
substances such as foreign particles and chemicals. MAGNETIZER helps at two
levels. First, particles that would normally pass right through the filter
(both suspended and dissolved) take on an electrical charge that causes them
to clump into larger particles (called ion floc clusters). These ion floc
clusters are then filtered out by the filter system that has itself taken on
the elec-trical charge. This process is known as polarized media filtration.
Secondly, since fewer chemicals are required in a MAGNETIZER system, there
is less chemical build-up. The true cost of draining a pool/spa is not only
the water to refill it but, also the labor, energy to reheat, chemicals to
rebalance and the inconvenience caused by out-of-service systems.
MAGNETIZER Protects
Expensive Equipment Against Scale Build up
The normal safe pH operating zone for operation of a pool/spa is between 7.4
and 7.6.

| corrosive |

Above that range, ugly
scale can begin to attach itself to surfaces, inside of the plumbing and on
the inside of the heater. Scale build-up of only ½ inch will increase
heating costs by as much as 60%. When the pH is below 7.4, corrosion begins
to attack the expensive metal parts of the system (heater, filter, pumps,
etc.) and can cause pitting on the pool/spa surfaces. In addition, corrosion
of the metal parts puts minerals into suspension in the water. These
minerals will cause unsightly stains on the pool/spa surfaces. Once stained,
the surfaces must be acid washed and in most cases refinished. The result is
unnecessary expense and an outof-service system.
MAGNETIZER extends the safe pH operating range without worry about scaling,
staining or corrosion. The result is a system that protects your investment
and reduces maintenance cost.
The
Bottom Line
MAGNETIZER quickly pays for itself in reduced chemical costs. Although
chemical costs are
important and easy to identify, the real savings is in the labor of not
having to use as many
chemicals, monitor the results, scrub the sides, take more frequent than
necessary readings, change water, acid bath and refinish. Reduced maintenance adds up to real
dollar savings for commercial users and more time for enjoyment for private owners.
MAGNETIZER
doesn’t just save time and money in the short run; since it controls
corrosion; it adds long term
protection to your investment. Although cost and time savings and protection
of
equipment are important, the real benefits come from clearer, cleaner and
more sanitary
water.

MAGNETS HELP DISINFECT SWIMMING POOLSS
New Scientist, April 25, 1998, p. 21
CRANFIELD, ENGLAND.
Magnets have long been claimed to have
beneficial effects on water. Conventional science is skeptical of such
claims and no explanation of the phenomenon has been generally accepted so
far. Now researchers at Cranfield University report that magnetized water
increases the effectiveness of bleach (sodium hypochlorite) in disinfecting
swimming pools. Their experiment involved two 25 L test pools which had been
dosed with bacteria, sweat, and urine to simulate the conditions in an
actual public swimming pool. The water supply to one of the pools passed
through a pipe to which three permanent magnets had been attached while the
control pool was supplied through a pipe devoid of magnets. The researchers
found that the disinfectant (sodium hypochlorite) was 30 per cent more
effective in killing Escherichia coli bacteria when added to the pool
containing magnetized water than when added to the control pool. They also
found that the magnetized water maintained its level of free chlorine
significantly longer than did the control water. They speculate that the
magnetic treatment may make the disinfectant more soluble, may cut losses of
chlorine through evaporation or perhaps may somehow change the chemistry in
the pool making the chlorine less likely to react with the amines in the
bathers' sweat and urine.

Technical Principles of Water Magnetization
Magnets Kill Bacteria
This study determines the efficacy of a magnetic
treatment device on the inactivation of a model micro-organism (Escherichia
coli), chlorine consumption and concomitant disinfection by product
formation in swimming pool water. Effects of magnetic water treatment on
physical parameters such as scale deposition; conductivity and pH are
reported, as well as the key performance determinants of chlorine
consumption, micro-organism inactivation rate and trihalomethane (THM)
formation. A commercially available magnetc treatment device (MAGNETIZER)
was used throughout. It was found that in all cases chlorine loss was more
rapid in the control than in the magnetically treated water. The
bactericidal efficiency of the free chlorine was unaffected by magnetic
treatment, such that the E. coli kill rate for a given disinfectant dose was
increased by an average of 25% by this physical conditioning. In addition,
it was found that generation of THMs was reduced by magnetic treatment at
any one free chlorine level.
In short this stuff works folks!
