Re: Reduce Chemical Usage 30-50% while stabalizing pH ;-)
You know, I have a friend who has something similar to this installed on his house water. He swears by it and I've done enough research to thoroughly confuse myself. On the surface, if you believe the claims, it looks like a pretty good deal. Then the question previously asked, "Why aren't these installed on every pool?" That little voice in my skeptical mind keeps saying, "no way."

hmmmm, I read on a website that fiberglass has a negative charge, and may be one reason that it stains. I would love to know if this works. Anyone else with any ideas on this?

I keep an aquarium and participate on aquarium forums. The water magnetizer comes up for discussion on a regular basis. Each forum has its 'science guys' and the consensus is always that it's a scam.
The other one is the Plotcher system where little sticks 'remembers' good water and then 'tells' the bad water how to behave...

Ha, ha, good water, bad water! I was just hoping that it was something that wasn't just snake oil. Never hurts to ask!

Install the Magnetizer on your carburator and you'll get better gas mileage as well

Here's a link to a guy that debunks one made for aquariums, the claims for the one made for pools sound very similar.

The Mythbusters recently tested all the 'gas mileage' gimmicks and found that NONE of them provided any benefit. I guess that saying about 'being too good to be true' should be added to my title :-D
