Magnetic water filtration has been around for some 35+ years, yet people still question its ability to purify water. Magnet filtration can be used for any type of filtration, but it is best used for water coolers, refrigerators and water heaters. The magnetic water filtration system is sold larger to handle the size of a water heater and cleanse the water appropriately. So how does this magnetic filtration method work you may be wondering.

Regular water is made up of molecules all mixed together in no particular order. The magnetic water filtration system will polarize all of the water molecules and minerals causing them to attract to each other. Then, as the water flows through your water heater it will pass through the magnetic field. The result is the hard water minerals polarize and remain in liquid suspension.

What this means is the magnetic filtration will eliminate any problem of the hard water molecules sticking to the water pipes and the walls of the water heater. This will help avoid mould and contaminants that can quickly result in hard water. So, by the minerals ending up suspended in the water all the prior existing minerals are attracted to the water magnetically. This period of the magnetic water filtration system will generally hold up anywhere between 2 to 6 months.

Like all filtration systems, it is recommended that you do some continuous maintenance in order to keep your magnetic water filtration system running smoothly. Once every month you should drain two to three quarts from the lower tap on the heater. This will help empty any minerals floating in your water heater and rinse out any green stains to avoid any leaching inside your water heater.

As far how the magnetic filtration handles other water supply, it can often improve the taste of water as well. Because the magnetic water filtration system causes de-gasification of water, the taste is often improved. This is because the de-gasification process is eliminating any kind of gases such as sulfur or chlorine that may make your water odor and taste bad.

There is no question, despite the negative hype behind this filtration system, that the magnetic water filtration system can filter water in all situations. As mentioned, it is more known for and works better for bigger units such as the water heater. It has been found that just 3/8 inches of minerals in a water heater uses 48 percent more fuel to heat. As the minerals are removed, the water heating system is much more efficient.
