Installation :
The unit is to be installed on main incoming water line.
Aquatreat is an advanced magnetic water treatment system designed to convert hard water behavior into soft water characteristics without the use of chemicals, electricity, or filtration media. It operates through a specially engineered magnetic force field consisting of a North Magnetic Zone, a Spacer (Implosion Area), and a South Magnetic Zone, enclosed within a stainless steel body acting as a “keeper” to extend and maintain the magnetic field. This unique configuration ensures maximum interaction between water and the magnetic field while preventing energy loss.
When water flows through the Aquatreat system, it is subjected to intense magnetic forces that cause rapid vibration, rotation, and agitation of water molecules and dissolved minerals. This process breaks down large mineral clusters into extremely fine micro-particles while aligning their positive and negative charges. As a result, the water transitions from a random molecular structure into a more organized and energized state, improving its overall physical behavior.
Working Principle
The working of Aquatreat can be understood in three stages. First, when water enters the North Magnetic Field, the magnetic force aligns the polarity of water molecules and dissolved minerals, initiating rotation, vibration, and breakdown of mineral structures. The intensity of this alignment creates significant molecular movement.
Next, in the Spacer or Implosion Area, the aligned molecules undergo compression due to cross-current interaction, reducing them to their smallest balanced form. This stage generates maximum force and energy within the system, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Finally, as water enters the South Magnetic Field, the molecules are again subjected to vibration and rotation, achieving a more stable and streamlined flow pattern known as laminar flow. The extended magnetic field created by the stainless steel keeper ensures continuous exposure, increasing the overall efficiency of the process.
Effect On Water And Minerals
Natural water contains dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which typically form hard crystalline deposits known as calcite. These deposits accumulate inside pipelines, heating systems, and equipment, leading to scale formation, reduced efficiency, and damage.
Aquatreat alters the physical behavior of these minerals without changing their chemical composition. The magnetic treatment converts hard calcite crystals into a softer, non-adherent form called aragonite. Unlike calcite, aragonite remains suspended in water as microscopic particles and is carried away with the flow instead of sticking to surfaces.
Additionally, the process increases the solubility of carbon dioxide in water, which helps convert calcium carbonate back into calcium bicarbonate. This further enhances the ability of water to carry minerals in suspension rather than allowing them to deposit as scale.
Descaling And Scale Prevention
One of the most important functions of Aquatreat is its ability to prevent new scale formation while gradually removing existing deposits. The treated water forms weak, powder-like mineral structures instead of hard crystalline layers. These structures cannot adhere strongly to surfaces and are easily washed away by flowing water.
Existing scale deposits, which are formed through strong ionic bonding, are gradually weakened. The magnetic treatment introduces charged particles that interfere with these bonds, softening the deposits over time. As the scale loses its strength, it becomes easier to remove through normal water flow or flushing processes.
Effect On pH & Corrosion
Aquatreat plays a significant role in stabilizing the pH level of water. By influencing the balance between hydrogen ions (H⁺) and hydroxyl ions (OH⁻), the system helps maintain water close to a neutral pH range, typically between 6.8 and 7.1. This stabilization reduces extreme variations in acidity and alkalinity, making the water more balanced and less aggressive. The system also reduces corrosion by binding free ions responsible for electrochemical reactions. In untreated systems, these free ions contribute to pipe degradation and material damage. Aquatreat minimizes this effect by creating an electrostatic balance, thereby protecting pipelines and equipment from corrosion.
Effect On Surface Tension And Water Quality
Aquatreat reduces the surface tension of water by declustering water molecules, making the water “wetter.” This improved wettability enhances the ability of water to dissolve and carry minerals efficiently. As a result, all dissolved substances entering the system leave with the water instead of forming deposits.
The reduction in surface tension also improves water penetration and flow characteristics, contributing to better overall performance in various applications. Despite these changes, the chemical composition of water remains unchanged, ensuring that essential minerals are retained while their negative effects are minimized.
Magnetohydrodynamics ( MHD) Principle
The operation of Aquatreat is based on the science of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which studies the behavior of electrically conductive fluids in a magnetic field. When water containing dissolved solids flows through the magnetic field, it generates an induced electromagnetic force.
This force increases molecular and electron activity, leading to changes in physical properties such as viscosity, surface tension, and crystallization behavior. The effectiveness of this process depends on factors such as the strength of the magnetic field, the velocity of water flow, and the mineral content of the water.
Aquatreat is uniquely designed to maximize this effect by ensuring that water flows perpendicular to the magnetic field, which produces the highest level of electromagnetic interaction. The inclusion of a venturi effect within the system further increases fluid velocity, enhancing the overall treatment efficiency.
Particle Behavior And Scale Removal Mechanism
During treatment, suspended particles and micro-crystals in water are exposed to strong magnetic forces, causing them to rotate and experience internal stress. This stress can distort or fracture the particles, increasing their surface charge and reactivity.
These energized particles interact with existing scale deposits, transferring energy and weakening their structure. Over time, the hard deposits transform into softer material that can be easily removed by water flow. If the flow velocity is maintained, these particles are carried away; otherwise, they may settle in low-flow areas and require periodic flushing.
Conclusion
Aquatreat is a highly efficient and eco-friendly water treatment solution that works by modifying the physical properties of water through advanced magnetic technology. Without altering the chemical composition, it prevents scale formation, removes existing deposits, stabilizes pH, reduces corrosion, and improves overall water behavior. By keeping minerals in suspension and enhancing water quality, Aquatreat ensures long-term protection and performance of water systems across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
