    How the magnetic treatment system works

    A magnetic bracelet mounts outside suitable pipe. We assess two applications: fine iron capture in water loops and scale management in cooling towers. The bracelet adds no chemicals and needs no power.

    01 / The device

    What goes on the pipe

    The HydroFlux bracelet: a ring of hinged magnetic links that clamps around a pipe
    No bracelet power
    The magnetic bracelet operates without electricity
    Adds no chemicals
    Works with the approved water treatment program
    Clamp-on install
    Can go onto suitable existing pipe while the system runs
    Keep filter service
    The bracelet has no moving parts; filters and pumps still need maintenance

    02 / Iron fouling

    How iron reaches the filter

    We review pipe material, space, flow, pressure and filter location before installation. We scope any pump, filter or pipe changes with your team.

    1. Field concentration

      Our patented Halbach array focuses a high-strength magnetic field inside the pipe as water passes through.
    2. Particles gather

      The magnetic field helps fine iron oxide gather into larger particles that downstream filters can capture.
    3. Filter capture

      Downstream filters collect the larger particles. Filter service removes the collected material from the system.

    03 / Evidence for each application

    Iron capture and scale management

    Iron capture and mineral scale need different measurements. An iron trial tracks filtration and iron levels. A cooling tower trial tracks deposit behavior and cleaning needs. We review water chemistry and operating conditions before either trial.

    Iron capture

    The LAX field report describes iron-rich material gathering near the bracelets and collection in downstream filters.

    Cooling tower scale

    A nine-day pilot reported softer, more easily removed deposits on the treated tube. Full-scale outcomes need site testing.
