Magnifield-HSS1 Inline Magnetic Water Conditioner

Magnetic water treatment is a physical process: water flows through a magnetic field and its physical properties change, without anything being added to it or removed from it. In irrigation, the effects growers look for are lower surface tension and viscosity, which improve how water infiltrates soil, and higher mineral solubility, which affects how nutrients move to the root zone. Because it is physical, there is nothing to dose, refill or dispose of.

The HSS1 fits inline as a flanged pipe section. As water passes through, a matrix of up to 24 sequenced magnetic zones applies a field of 10,000 to 15,000 gauss (1 to 1.5 tesla) to the stream. The process is governed by Lorentz force interactions on charged particles in the moving fluid, so the two variables that determine efficiency are flow velocity through the pipeline and the flux density of the field.

No chemicals at all — nothing is dosed into the water and nothing is consumed, so there are no refills and no disposal. The conditioning itself is physical. Talk to us about the supply requirement for your configuration and pipeline size.

That is one of the main reasons growers install it. Excessive soil salinisation restricts root development and blocks nutrient uptake. By improving solubility, percolation and infiltration, conditioned water flushes deeper, leaching mineral salts away from the root zone — Magnifield reports desalinization to 1 to 1.5 metres within the first year. It also makes marginal supplies such as brackish sources and treated effluent viable for cultivation.

Magnifield's published figures are a 10 to 30 percent reduction in water usage, a 10 to 25 percent or greater increase in yield, and soil desalinization to 1 to 1.5 metres in the first year. On the livestock side the reported results are a two- to threefold reduction in mortality, 5 to 7 percent higher average weight gain and around 10 percent improvement in egg-laying performance. Actual results depend on your water chemistry, soil and crop.

Inline on the supply side, upstream of the distribution network, so every emitter receives conditioned water. It bolts in as a flanged pipe section, which means no bypass loop and no pressure vessel. For dairy operations, a unit integrated directly into post-milking transfer lines is reported to double raw milk storage life in holding tanks.

There are no consumables — no cartridges, media, salt or dosing chemicals to buy. There are no moving parts in the flow path either. Routine attention is limited to the flanged joints, as with any inline pipe section.

Yes, and drip systems are where the pipeline benefits show most clearly. Reduced fluid friction gives more uniform pressure across drip emitters and steadier discharge rates, and the treatment prevents new mineral buildup while clearing existing limescale from piping — which is exactly what blocks emitters on hard water.
