How does the HALO water Systems Inline Water Conditioner work? The patented system, when installed in a water supply line, controls the formation of scale and corrosion deposits without the use of chemicals. Water passing through the alternating magnetic fields causes most minerals (iron excepted) to stay suspended in the water so they cannot form a hard, brittle scale. The entire process bonds calcium ions to each other rather than to your plumbing and plumbing fixtures
Water passes, under pressure, and with minimal turbulence, through alternating magnetic lines of force perpendicular to the water's flow direction. This causes a polarizing effect upon non-polar constituents in the water, and provides the energy of activation level necessary to cause the dissolved Calcium Carbonate (Calcite) CaCO3 within the water to recombine and form "aragonite" (an amorphous powdery form) when the solubility limit is reached. Unlike crystalline CaCO3, aragonite can easily remain suspended in the water stream rather than attaching to system walls as "scale". The presence of aragonite in the water provides an additional benefit in terms of corrosion protection. A thin film of the soft aragonite, which normally forms as a result of long term magnetic treatment, actually prevents free oxygen within the water from attacking the metallic components through which the water travels, thus preventing corrosion. |
