MAGNETIC
WATER TREATMENT - NOT!
You can' treat
water with magnets. No way, no how, doesn't do anything, nilch,

5 CONCLUSIONS
The results of this study do not indicate any clear advantage
for any of the three devices tested versus a control for the inhibition
of mineral scale formation or the corrosion of copper. The test
protocol was designed to simulate the method of production of
hot water used in many larger institutional type settings that
employ a shell and tube heat exchanger for the production of hot
water. The findings do not support the claims of the manufacturers
regarding the ability of their respective devices prevent mineral
scale formation in hot potable water systems. The amount of mineral
scale formed for the control versus device heat exchange tubes
was relatively constant, and proved to be an effective insulator
of heat transfer across the tube surface. The scale formed was
found to be a type of calcite (calcium carbonate), and had the
same crystalline structure for each heat exchange tube. There
was no discernible effect on the crystalline structure of the
scale formed by any of the tested devices.

Magnets will make your kid smarter. Get them some magnets that
they can't swallow and some pieces of metal and they will have
lots of fun and maybe even think for a change.
