Magnetic Water Technology Research

Magnetic water has also been found to be effective at preventing and removing scale deposits in pipes and water containing structures. Magnetically treated water also can increase the levels of CO2 and H+ in soils comparable to the addition of fertilizers. Cleaning agents have an increased effectiveness when combined with the power of magnetic water, and the amount of cleaner used can be reduced by one-third to one-fourth (Kronenberg, 1993).

Reduction in Water Use by 20%

An independent controlled study conducted by Olds College in Canada; (MacKenzie, Johb, Plantje, 2014) treated irrigation water with magnetic water in a greenhouse environment, with the control group remaining untreated. Results show the same effect is achieved while using 20% less irrigation water when treated, for a total of 80% water application, as compared to the controlled amount of 100% normal water application.

Approximately 2.08 billion gallons of water are used everyday to irrigate golf courses in the United States. (Lyman, 2012). A 20% reduction equals an astonishing savings of 416 million gallons daily.

Improved Soil Permeability and Moisture Retention

An independent controlled study on American soils utilized PureSense® data to show MAgnetic water softener system, increased soil permeability and moisture retention in problematic, salty soils at 12 inches, 24 inches, 36 inches, 48 inches, and 60 inches deep over a 7-day observation period. Improved soil moisture increased at every depth, which was never achieved prior to installing magnetic water systems.

Soil Salinity and Permeability

Magnetic treatment of saline irrigation water can be used as an effective method for soil desalinization. The application of a magnetic field on water decreases the hydration of salt ions and colloids, having a positive effect on salt solubility, accelerated coagulation and salt crystallization. Field experiments showed that, sandy loam soil pots irrigated with normal highly saline water of an electrical conductivity value of 8.2 mmohs/cm retained salts compared to pots irrigated with magnetized saline water. The study showed that magnetic water increased leaching of excess soluble salts, lowered soil alkalinity and dissolved slightly soluble salts (Hilal and Hilal, 2000).

Water becomes degassed in the process of being magnetized and this degassing increases soil permeability, which creates an increase in irrigation efficiency (Bogatin et al., 1999). In addition to soil permeability, magnetic water interacts with the structural calcium in cell membranes, making the cells more permeable. The reduced surface tension observed in magnetic wate results in better infiltration of water and a reduction in water and chemical use. (Goldsworthy et al., 1999)

Improved Water Flow and Energy Efficiency

Controlled study shows magnetic water technology increased the water flow from 450 gallons per minute to 510 gpm. Just as favorable, it also decreased it’s pump intake pressure from 100 to 90 psi, pump discharge pressure from 130 to 120 psi, and the pump work rate from 700 to 600 psi.
