Abstract
A magnetic water conditioner treats water with a magnetic field. The magnetic water conditioner includes a tank having an inlet operable to receive water from a pump and an outlet operable to discharge the water. The magnetic water conditioner is installed in close proximity to the pump. A plurality of permanent magnet members are aligned and spaced apart in the interior of the tank with north and south poles disposed at opposite sides of the permanent magnet members. The water flows through the gaps between the permanent magnet members, thus being subjected to magnetic fields created by the permanent magnet members.

A magnetic water conditioner for treating water with a magnetic field, the water conditioner being in fluid communication with a pump supplying water to the magnetic water conditioner, comprising:
- a tank having an inlet operable to receive water from the pump and an outlet operable to discharge the water;
- and
- a plurality of permanent magnet members aligned and spaced apart in the interior of the tank with north and south poles disposed at opposite sides of the permanent magnet members, wherein the permanent magnet members have alternating polarities on adjacent sides and wherein the water flows through the gaps between the permanent magnet members thus being subjected to magnetic fields created by the permanent magnet members.
A magnetic water conditioner for treating water with a magnetic field, the water conditioner being in fluid communication with a water source, comprising:
- a tank having an inlet operable to receive water from the water source and an outlet operable to discharge the water;
- and
- a plurality of magnet assemblies spaced apart in the interior of the tank, each assembly having a frame for retaining a plurality of permanent magnet members spanning the length of the magnet assembly and spaced apart with north and south poles disposed at opposite sides of the permanent magnet members, wherein the permanent magnet members have alternating polarities on adjacent sides and wherein the water flows through the gaps between the permanent magnet members and the gaps between the magnet assemblies thus being subjected to magnetic fields created by the permanent magnet members.
A magnetic water conditioner for treating water with a magnetic field, the water conditioner being in fluid communication with a water source, comprising:
- a tank having an inlet operable to receive water from the water source and an outlet operable to discharge the water;
- a plurality of permanent magnet members disposed in the interior of the tank and being substantially perpendicular to a flow-path of the water through the tank, the permanent magnet members being spaced apart with north and south poles disposed at opposite sides of the permanent magnet members, wherein the permanent magnet members have alternating polarities on adjacent sides and wherein the water flows through the gaps between the permanent magnet members, thus being subjected to magnetic fields created by the permanent magnet members.
A method disclosed for magnetically treating water for agricultural purposes, comprising passing the water through a magnetic field inside a magnetic water conditioner, the magnetic water conditioner comprising:
- a tank having an inlet operable to receive water from a water source and an outlet operable to discharge the water;
- and
- a plurality of permanent magnet members aligned and spaced apart in the interior of the tank with north and south poles disposed at opposite sides of the permanent magnet members, the permanent magnet members have alternating polarities on adjacent sides, wherein the water flows through the gaps between the permanent magnet members thus being subjected to magnetic fields created by the permanent magnet members.
A method is disclosed for magnetically treating water for agricultural purposes, comprising passing the water through a magnetic field inside a magnetic water conditioner, the magnetic water conditioner comprising:
- a tank having an inlet operable to receive water from the water source and an outlet operable to discharge the water;
- a plurality of permanent magnet members disposed in the interior of the tank and being substantially perpendicular to a flow-path of the water through the tank, the permanent magnet members being spaced apart with north and south poles disposed at opposite sides of the permanent magnet members, the permanent magnet members have alternating polarities on adjacent sides, wherein the water flows through the gaps between the permanent magnet members, thus being subjected to magnetic fields created by the permanent magnet members.
