I didn’t know this was still a thing. Just a few minutes ago a fellow came by my little office in the woods and talked to me about his water conditioning system. I was like okay give me a product brochure and I’ll look at it. Very bad sales guy did not have a brochure, how the hell are you supposed to sell a product without a brochure?

Then I was like okay describe the system to me?

“blah blah water, blah blah magnets..”

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Me: Stop right there buddy that’s bullshit.

At that point he turned on his heal and walked out. Now I’m not the last expert in water treatment because it’s been my job for nearly 20 years, but I do know one thing, using magnets to prevent scaling in a water system is akin to the infamous fuel shark or an intake mounted turbine fan. There are only a few things the the known universe that work to prevent hard water deposits. Chemical addition (for scale prevention using some expensive proprietary chemicals) in some industrial applications and ion exchange (like a traditional water softener) are the most common and proven.

Let us not forget the 2017 Improved Fuel Shark, as it pays for itself very quickly. Last but not least there is a new tornado intake fan combined with a comically small conical filter.

PT Barnum would be so proud of these entrepreneurs.

For magnets to clean water you’d probably need a very strong field.... And a filter.. . Add some chemicals for good measure

.... and magnets literally do nothing outside of their immediate field of influence, and even less for nonferrous metals. Their claim is that is “changes” the hard water components so they don’t stick to the walls of the pipes or your water fixtures.

So, the chemical structures of the contaminats.... you’d need radiation treatment for that, we must go to Chernobyl and see if their pipes are clean

Makes me think of this incredibly embarrassing story Gizmodo published a few years ago:

Strap This Wind Turbine To Your Electric Car And You Can Drive Forever

Missed opportunity to tell them you only drink raw water full of totally real probiotics.

Ohhhh probiotic water, that would have been such a curve ball his head would have exploded.

There is a reason F1 doesn’t use this, Bernie banned it because it worked so well.

Irradiated metals, that is going to work out well.
