Topic: Magnetic water

I wanted to get people's opinions/experiences with magnetic water.  Has anybody ever tried this, or something similar?

http://www.matchrockets.com/water/magwatertreat.html

About a couple months ago, I decided to take a 1.5" neodymium ring magnet a put it under on one of the metal racks in my frig.  I have a large glass pitcher which I typically store water in to keep chilled.  When I put it in the frig, I make sure it is always located over this large magnet. 

For the first week, I seemed to notice a subtle difference.  The water seemed to go down easier, if that makes any sense.  The water itself seemed lighter.  There was less of a noticeable chemical taste to it.  I don't notice the effect of this magnet as much now, although I can sometimes tell a difference when I have to drink the water directly from our filter.

I have a countertop R.O. filter which I've been using for awhile to remove heavy metals, fluoride and other contaminents from the water.  The water in this area is particularly bad and is getting worse as the healthcare corporations in the area push for more additives at higher concentrations.  Even with the R.O. filter, I still noticed the same chemical taste.  I've read that this particular brand of R.O. does not remove some disolved gasses in the water, which could be the cause.  In other words, even though this R.O. filter is supposed to filter just about everything in the water, it still tastes bad. 

Again, the water does seem to taste slightly better when exposed to this magnet.  I've also noticed the length of time exposure to this magnet is also a variable as well.  If the pitcher has been sitting over this magnet, undisturbed for several hours, the water tastes much better than if it has just been sitting over the magnet for several minutes.  I have not tried different size magnets yet.  This was just the largest one I had available. 

I'm considering buying some more magnets to add to the water lines coming into the apartment and placing them at various points after elbows in the pipes for instance.  I'm interested to see if this will reduce sediments in our plumbing, tub and sinks.  I'm also interested to see if it has any positive health related effects as well. 

I do feel that magnetic fields should have some effect on the water molecule.  H2O - being a dipole - should become aligned in a magnetic field.  My hypothesis is that aligning the water molecules helps to pull in a etheric energy of some sort (orgone, chi, whatever), which could possibly aid in overall health.  In other words, it could be an cheap and easy way of "super-charging" the water.  This is kind of a rough hypothisis.  Perhaps there is a better way of describing it using some combination of quantum physics and fluid dynamics.  Water ionizers might be another alternative to this, I just haven't done the research at the moment. 

I've also read that the magnetic field surrounding a magnet does spiral to some degree.  Can anybody here confirm this?  I only have a limited experience with magnets.  Perhaps then this method of water treatment would be similar to a vortexing water in that regard?

Thoughts?

Re: Magnetic water

Hi Ryan I bought a water magnet that you sit a gallon of water on for one hour and it makes the water softer and taste better. They said to use the north side.

Here is a site that you can read some info on it.    http://www.lyonlegacy.com

Re: Magnetic water

Thanks for the website.  Their product description for the magnetic block seems to fit what I've observed from my own setup.  I wasn't sure which magnet side I had used, so I checked it this weekend and it was magnetic north.

Re: Magnetic water

I bought one of those tornado vortex tubes for $3, it's used to make "tornados" with water. I put 2 huge neo magnets around the neck of the vortex. Using distilled water, it produces a dramatic taste difference.

Re: Magnetic water

I think it was Schauberger who claimed that water swirling in a magnetic field, as it does when traveling down a mountain stream, is what gives it boosted life energy.  So theoretically, passing water vortically through a magnetic field should replicate the effect.

http://www.quantumbalancing.com/magnetic_blender.htm
- I tried this for a short while, and will try it again soon for a longer test period. Couldn't tell if the energy boost was placebo or not, and not sure if the sweeter / thicker taste of the water was due to molecular changes or just dissolved oxygen and the added sea salt. The buzzing EM field of the blender motor also concerns me, but I'll magnetize my next couple gallons of drinking water and try again. The magnetic vortex tube idea sounds more natural and promising to me...the site there sells those for 20-something bucks if you don't feel like making one yourself.

Acquiring fringe knowledge is like digging for diamonds in a mine field.

I've been meaning to read some of Schauberger's material for awhile now.  Perhaps the interaction of water + magnetic field + vortex motion would make more sense to me.

That blender sounds heavy duty!  Maybe i'll try making some sort of tornado vortexing tube device and see how the water tastes.  I wonder if it will really make more of a difference than just setting a pitcher on top of a large magnet.  Perhaps the vortex method is just faster way of creating the same effect.  If you don't mind wating for a couple hours, maybe the magnet under the pitcher would do just as well.  Only one way to find out I guess...

Testing these sorts of things is always highly subjective and I always wonder how much of an effect the mind plays.  Maybe observing crystal patterns from the water like Masaru Emoto does would give a better idea of the effects.  Even then the results could be tainted by any number of factors given the sensitive nature of water.  Perhaps just the intent of doing something for the water yields the same effect as magnets and vortexes?  Maybe just talking to your water is enough.  It seems to work with plants, animals and people! :-)

Re: Magnetic water

I have taste tested on different persons and they were amazed at the difference in the taste, they couldn't believe it came out of the same source bottle. Actually I first got the idea for this setup from some kids science project that was on the web a few years ago.
  I believe that water is like a blank recording tape and it picks up vibrations and carries the signature. Emoto demonstrated that ice crystal structures reflect what type of energy the water was exposed to.
  Maybe the vortex/magnet setup acts to completely strip all the memory from the water, and possibly restructure it also. 
  For the last few months I have been using a water product called "clarity" from soundenergy products. I was hesitant to purchase any water enhancing products because there are a zillion of them on the web with all sorts of BS claims. After a bottle or two I was very impressed with this stuff, and continue to use it. It runs about $25 for a month supply (diluted to a quart a day). I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. If anyone has used or uses this in the future I would appreciate your feedback as well. I add it to my water after the vortex/magnet treatment. The supplier says to use only distilled water because in his words "it has been stripped of all memory".

Re: Magnetic water

i don't know anything about magnetically treated water - never tried it - i've been using an ozonator to treat the water we get home (which already goes through an activated carbon filter)

anyhow - i just replaced the tap filter and realized i didn't know much about this stuff so i started looking around on the net - of all the sites i found, i also came across this one : http://www.chem1.com/CQ/

this guy's a skeptic and raises some questions on stuff that's talked about here - thought it worthwhile to toss this in ...

... checking out the mirror of relationship ...

I came across similar websites when I initially researched magnetic treatments of water.  The information I got out of these sites was that there is no scientific theory to explain the effects magnets had on water.  Most of the skeptics still acknowledge that magnets do have some effect on water.  In my mind, this suggested that official science doesn't understand magnetism or water. 

I can understand skeptical claims regarding magnetic water being some sort of general elixer/cure all (I have not read them, but this website claims there are).  It doesn't jive with my own experience when skeptics claim/imply that magnets have no effect on water.

Interesting.  Thanks for the tip regarding the SoundEnergy water product.  I might try this some day if it's only a $25 bottle.  I'll let you know if I do and what effects I notice.
