    The other one is the Plotcher system where little sticks 'remembers' good water and then 'tells' the bad water how to behave...
    I know all about that system....it's the one my wife uses on me daily!

    Been keeping aquarims for close to 45 years now (salt for past 30) and everything I have ever seen about magnets seems to scream SCAM! They have never stood up under serious testing....and aquarists are very much into testing things when they are really into the hobby!

    I seem to remeber reading something about magnets on the old forum. I think it was posted by Ben (PoolDoc). It was not positive.

    Of course magnets work! It's an astrological fact!

    They "replenish" balding heads, help you lose weight, make your kids to better at school, and make your spouse more responsive to you.

    You can expect the vinyl or concrete walls to last better, your grass to be greener, and more sunny days all summer.

    Actually, you can expect your bank account to be thinner and that's about it. These guys work on the "Bigger Sucker Theorem"--there's always a bigger sucker around the next corner!

    Default What's this?

    The sponser of this forum actually has a link to Aqua Doc, a manufacturer of the wonder magnet?

    And he also has links to several companies that manufacture ionizers and ozone genterator. If you read the forum you will find that Ben (PoolDoc) doens't think much of these things for most pools but he is a fair man and provides the info for anyone who might be interested.
