Residential/Commercial

The principle of magnetic water treatment is not new. The first patent was granted around 1900. Scalewatcher™ takes this knowledge into the 21st century. The electronic device treats the water by inducing magnetic AND electric fields with a continuous changing frequency. This forces the dissolved minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium to crystallize in the water before the ions settle (hard scale) at walls of piping, bathroom or heating elements of dishwasher and washing machine. This action stops any further build up of hard scale by preventing the settlement of dissolved mineral ions on whatever surface.

The capability of the water to dissolve minerals will also be increased and this is the reason why hard scale layers will be softened, will slowly enter into the water stream, and will disappear down the drain.

This means that you may have slightly more problems with scaling after the installation until all old hard scale layers have disappeared, which will take 30 to 90 days depending on how much preexisting scale was formed.

If you have clean piping and live in a new house you will only see the beneficial effects.

Before you buy read the specifications of the residential product.

Industrial

Scalewatcher´s patented technology works by producing a complex frequency modulated waveform. Reacting to the varying applied field the Scalewatcher creates an induced electric field inside the pipe whereby the crystal growth of scaling minerals in the water is promoted. Crystals remain suspended in solution and no longer contribute to the build-up of hard pipe wall deposits. Existing scale layers are softened and loosened scale crystals are removed from the system by the waterflow.

The so-called Lorenz Force decribes the total force on charged particles and ions in a magnetic and/or electric field

F=q.E+q.vxB N

Where F is the Lorenz Force expressed in Newton, q the charge of a particle or ion expressed in Coulomb, E the electric field strength in Volt/meter, v the velocity of the particle or ion expressed in meter/second and B the magnetic induction expressed in Tesla. F, E, v and B are all vectors. So the incoming particles and ions in the water are subject to this Lorenz Force.
