Abstract
Abstract A water treatment system is described comprising a first water line in communication with a source of water at one end and a water filter on the other. An alternating current magnetic means is imposed with the first water line so that water flowing therethrough will be subjected to the magnetic field thereof. A second water line extends from the water filter to a water outlet means. A direct current magnet means is imposed in the second water line so that water flowing therethrough will be subject to the magnetic field thereof. The magnet means are comprised of coils imposed in a housing, a first shaft extends through the coil and is adjustably secured to the housing. The inner end of the shaft terminates in a plate means which is normally positioned adjacent inlet and outlet openings in the housing. A second shaft means is adjustably secured to the housing and its inner end terminates in a plate means which is oppositely disposed from the first mentioned plate means. The adjustable positions of the plate means influence the mechanical vibrations imposed on the water flowing from the inlet opening to the outlet opening.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A water treatment system, comprising, a first water line in communication with means for supplying water at one end and a water filter on the other end, an alternating current magnet means for generating a magnetic field and vibrations imposed in communication with said first water line so that water flowing therethrough will be subjected to the magnetic field and vibrations thereof, a second water line extending from said water filter to a water outlet means, and a direct current magnet means for generating a magnetic field and vibrations imposed in communication with said second water line so that water flowing therethrough will be subjected to the magnetic field and vibrations thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A water treatment system, comprising, a first water line in communication with means for supplying water at one end and a water filter on the other end, an alternating current magnet means for generating a magnetic field and vibrations imposed in communication with said first water line so that water flowing therethrough will be subjected to the magnetic field and vibrations thereof, a second water line extending from said water filter to a water outlet means, and a direct current magnet means for generating a magnetic field and vibrations imposed in communication with said second water line so that water flowing therethrough will be subjected to the magnetic field and vibrations thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The water treatment system of claim 1 wherein said alternating current magnet means include adjustable means to permit adjustment of the intensity of said vibrations and said magnetic field thereof on water passing therethrough.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The water treatment system of claim 1 wherein said water filter includes granite sand through which water must pass to move from said first water line to said second water line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
113 words
An adjustable magnetic water treatment means, comprising, a housing having means defining inlet and outlet openings, an insulated magnetic coil mounted to and in said housing, adjustable means mounted in said housing between said inlet and outlet openings adjacent said coil to restrict the flow of water therebetween, said adjustable means having means defining an opening therein through which said water flows and having means thereon for selectively adjusting the cross-sectional area of the opening therein, said adjustable means picking up mechanical vibrations and a magnetic field from said coil so that said vibrations and magnetic field will be imparted by said adjustment means to water flowing between said inlet and outlet openings.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
113 words
An adjustable magnetic water treatment means, comprising, a housing having means defining inlet and outlet openings, an insulated magnetic coil mounted to and in said housing, adjustable means mounted in said housing between said inlet and outlet openings adjacent said coil to restrict the flow of water therebetween, said adjustable means having means defining an opening therein through which said water flows and having means thereon for selectively adjusting the cross-sectional area of the opening therein, said adjustable means picking up mechanical vibrations and a magnetic field from said coil so that said vibrations and magnetic field will be imparted by said adjustment means to water flowing between said inlet and outlet openings.
