Hard Water Magnets. Hard water stains magnetic effect

What are hard water magnets? Do hard water magnets work ...?

Hard water contains dissolved salts in form of ions. In scientific terms ions look like Ca++ , Mg++ , HCO3- , CO3= , SO4=, Cl- , but don't worry too much. In practice when you take a bath and use soap and if water is hard (ie contains these ions) there will be a reaction between these ions and the soap ions

This results in solids being precipitated. And you see the effect of this a rim around the bath .... looks like you must have been very dirty but not really. Some people refer to this as a tide-mark.

What is also happening is that the water cannot access all your skin to wash away the grime and dust that has accumulated on it because surface tension effects repel the water as it were ... soap does not clean your body but it is essential to getting a good wash.

Soap creates a mechanism whereby water can come into intimate contact with your skin thereby allowing any solids to be washed away by the water itself ... it is the water that cleans your body.

 So you can see hard water is bad news if you want a nice clean body ... you'll have noticed also how hard it is to get a soapy lather in hard water areas.

Water filters and water softeners are used to reduce water hardness.

So back to hard water magnets. Do hard water magnets reduce or remove hard water problems and the answer is NO.

Hard water magnets cannot turn hard water into soft water. The ions described above (and mainly Mg and Ca) dissolved in hard water are not really magnetic in the sense that iron is for example. They are not effected by magnets or magnetic fields even if there are magnetic products in the market claiming to make hard water soft. Here's a claim I have seen ..."This Natural, Free Energy Will Keep The Healthy Minerals Suspended In Your Water. Not In Your Pipes, Shower Heads, Heater Coils. Cuts Down Water Spots On Your Car After Washing" It is

These claims are often made when people are talking of saving money when heating water ... they claim less solids build up and therefore energy savings are created
