Magnetic purification apparatus

A purification apparatus, comprising:

• a first flow path for introducing water which includes magnetic substances or magnetic additives and continuously discharging purified water;
• means disposed in said first flow path for generating a magnetic field in said first flow path;
• a plurality of regions in which a magnetic gradient is increased are generated in said first flow path;
• a plurality of second flow paths are provided in each of magnetic fields generated by the magnetic field generation means;
• and sensing means provided on a downstream side of said magnetic field generation means in said first flow path for sensing said magnetic substances or magnetic additives;
• and control means for controlling a flow rate of said water in response to a signal from said sensing means.
