Do magnetic water treatment devices work?
Magnetic water treatment (also known as anti-scale magnetic treatment or AMT) is a method of supposedly reducing the effects of hard water by passing it through a magnetic field as a non-chemical alternative to water softening. Magnetic water treatment is regarded as unproven and unscientific.
Is magnetized water good for plants?
With well-founded scientific experiments, some studies have reported that there are beneficial effects of magnetized water irrigation on the growth, root function and chemical composition of plants4,5,7,8, as well as on the nutrient availability in the soil9.
How long does it take to magnetize water?
Directions. Place pitcher of water, milk or juices on the Magnetic Water Converter pad, liquid will be magnetized in 3 hours (one gallon). A glass of liquid is magnetized in about 20 minutes.
How are magnets used in agriculture?
Magnetic treated water increases the efficiency of added fertilizers. Magnetic treatment of water increases the water absorption in soil. Furthermore, magnetic treatment of saline irrigation water is reportedly an effective method for soil desalinization.
How does Magnetized water affect plant growth?
By exposing the water to magnets, the salt ions change and dissolve, creating purer water that is more easily taken up by the plant. Studies on how magnets affect plant growth also show that magnetic treatment of seeds enhances germination by speeding up the formation of protein in the cells.
Do plants grow faster with magnets?
Plants have special proteins inside there cells called cryptochromes, that react to magnets and electricity. In this case it was with magnets instead of electricity. This metabolism helps with growth rate, germination rate, and keeps the plant constant.
How does magnetic water treatment work?
Magnetic Water Treatment directs water to pass through a strong magnetic field. By placing two strong neodymium magnets on either side of the incoming pipe, all the water passes through a strong, uniform magnetic field. Magnetic water treatment does not remove any calcium from the water.
What magnets should I use for Magnetic water treatment?
What magnets should I use for Magnetic Water Treatment? Pipe Strong Stronger Strongest Strongest Nominal Pipe Size OD (in) Magnet Approx. Field Strength (gauss) Magnet 1/4″ 0.54 BCC2 1734 BCC4 1/2″ 0.84 BX8X02 1145 BX8X04 3/4″ 1.05 BX8X84 1793 BX8X88
Can magnetic water treatment improve crop yields?
In a previous blog, I indicated the apparent lack of a university or government published a study on the efficacy of using irrigation water exposed to a magnetic field for improved crop yields and/or the reduced amount of water required. Such studies regarding magnetic water treatment do exist.
How do you attach a magnet to a water pipe?
Simply attach the magnet over the pipe with the included zip ties. Magnetic water conditioning sets can help solve hard water problems in your irrigation system, house or business by changing the molecular structure of water as it passes through a magnetic field.
