The document discusses hydromagnetic conditioning systems that use magnetic fields to prevent scale buildup in pipes and equipment. It explains that most scale-causing substances are diamagnetic, meaning they do not have a permanent magnetic moment and can lose their polarity over time. When this happens, the substances clump together and form scale. However, exposing diamagnetic substances to a magnetic field causes them to regain their magnetism through induced polarization. This prevents the substances from clustering together and forming scale, keeping them suspended in fluid systems instead. Hydromagnetic conditioning systems provide optimized magnetic energy to induce this polarization and prevent both new and existing scale buildup.

3. Filtercon: The System Used and Recommended
By Leading Doctors.
Most people have no idea of the degree of contamination our drinking water has
faced over time. Water is source of all life and it is the #1 thing our body depends
on each day. Can you imagine what we have been contaminating our bodies with
everyday? The reason why I chose the Filtercon is for the same reason - to have
the satisfaction in knowing that the water I’m drinking is safe. The Filtercon uses
advanced technology in water filtration that uses no chemicals, salt, or other
additives that may harm the quality of water. I highly recommend this product for
everyone. ”

“I have recommended water filtration to my patients for over 30 years. As
I find new and better units, I seriously consider advising my patients to
consider the particular brand I have researched. My first move when I
examined the Filtercon unit was to buy one and replace the unit I have in
my own home. It obviously was superior and I have been most pleased.”

“Many water systems will remove the bad taste and bad odors of community water.
In addition, the Filtercon removes the chlorine that can have medical consequences. Many
people are not aware that chlorine is absorbed through the skin while bathing or showering as
well as from drinking water. This is a system that works on all the water in a house and not
just drinking water. The water has significant health benefits. Finally Filtercon leaves in all
the healthful minerals, that so many people have deplet

Granulated Activated Carbon
HOW IT WORKS
There are two principal mechanisms by which activated carbon removes contaminants
from water; absorption, and catalytic reduction, a process involving the attraction of
negatively-charged contaminant ions to the positively-charged activated carbon.
Organic compounds are removed by absorption and residual disinfectants such as
chlorine and chloramines are removed by catalytic reduction.
APPLICATIONS
Activated carbon filtration is very common in a number of home water treatment
systems. It can be used as a standalone filter to reduce or eliminate bad tastes and
odors, chlorine, and many organic contaminants in municipal (pre-treated or
chlorinated) water supplies to produce a significantly improved drinking water. It is
also very commonly used as a pre-treatment as part of a reverse osmosis system to
reduce many organic contaminants, chlorine, and other items that could foul the
reverse osmosis membrane. 0.5 micron carbon block filters are commonly used to
remove cysts such as giardia and cryptosporidium.
WHAT CONTAMINANTS DOES CARBON REMOVE?
Activated carbon filters remove/reduce many volatile organic chemicals (VOC),
pesticides and herbicides, as well as chlorine, benzene, trihalomethane (THM)
compounds, radon, solvents and hundreds of other man-made chemicals found in tap
water. Some activated carbon filters are moderately effective at removing some, but
not all, heavy metals. In addition, densely compacted carbon block filters
mechanically remove particles down to 0.5 micron, including Giardia and
Cryptosporidium, turbidity and particulates. Although some iron, manganese, and
hydrogen sulfide will be removed by these higher quality activated carbon filters, a
manganese greensand iron reduction filter is generally preferred to remove these
contaminants as the effectiveness of carbon filter against iron and manganese is
generally short-lived if the contaminant concentration is high.
Carbon filters are NOT generally successful at removing dissolved inorganic
contaminants or metals such as minerals/salts (hardness or scale-causing
contaminants), antimony, arsenic, asbestos, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium,
copper, fluoride, mercury, nickel, nitrates/nitrites, selenium, sulfate, thallium, and
certain radio nuclides. Removing these contaminants requires either a reverse
osmosis water filter system or a distiller (some can also be removed by KDF-55 or
manganese greensand).
GAC does not remove sediment / particulate material very well, so they are often
preceded by a sediment filter. Sediment pre-filters also prolong the activate carbon
cartridge life by eliminating gross contaminants that would otherwise clog the
activated carbon thereby reducing the surface area available for absorption. Carbon
block filters are generally better then GAC filters at removing sediment.

6. KDF process media are high-purity copper-zinc formulations used in
pretreatment, primary treatment, and wastewater applications. KDF
media supplement or replace existing technologies to dramatically
extend system life, reduce heavy metals, microorganisms, scale, lower
total cost, and decrease maintenance.
Patented KDF process media are 100 percent recyclable and contain no
chemical additives. Hospitals, restaurants, municipal water treatment
facilities, and homes rely on KDF process media to safely reduce or
remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, heavy metals, and bacteria
from their water.
KDF process media are high-purity copper-zinc granules used in a
number of pre-treatment, primary treatment, and wastewater treatment
applications. KDF media supplement or replace existing technologies to
dramatically extend life of the system, control heavy metals and
microorganisms, lower total cost, and decrease maintenance. KDF
process media work to reduce or remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen
sulfide, lead, mercury, calcium carbonate, magnesium, chromium,
bacteria, algae, and fungi.
KDF media utilize an old process in a new way-the oxidation and
reduction of ions, known as redox. In short, the redox process works by
exchanging electrons with contaminants. This give and take of electrons
converts many harmful contaminants into harmless components, such
as chlorine to chloride. Other contaminants, including heavy metals,
bond to the KDF media, which greatly reduces or virtually eliminates
these substances.
KDF process media control microorganisms in two ways. The first is a
by-product of redox; the exchange of electrons sets up an electrolytic
field in which most microorganisms can't survive. Second, the process
of forming hydroxyl radicals and peroxides from some of the water
molecules interferes with the microorganisms' ability to function.

8. A Few Words About
Chlorine....
• Chlorine is universally recognized and used as an effective chemical for
purifying water. Water companies use chlorine because of its
effectiveness in killing microorganisms.
• Chlorine attacks organic matter, making it a potent bleaching agent.
Almost every home uses common household bleach in their laundry.
• Chlorine is also very hazardous. Even when diluted, it must be used
with care. Read the label on any bottle of household bleach.
• If chlorine works so well in killing bacteria and bleaching and oxidizing
organic food stains, what does it do to our skin, eyes, and lungs?
• Chlorine plays havoc with our skin and hair because it chemically bonds
with the protein in our bodies. It makes hair brittle and dry; it can make
sensitive skin dry; flaky; and itchy.
• It makes good sense to remove chlorine from drinking water. It is just
as logical to remove it from our showers. Many authorities feel that we
take in more chlorine from one shower than from drinking the same
water in one day.
• Medical science considers the human skin surface as the largest body
organ, weighing about 12 pounds for the average adult. It would not
seem any wiser to expose that much skin to a chemical disinfectant like
chlorine, than it would be to drink it.

9. Chlorine in Your Shower and Bath
Chlorine is used almost universally in the treatment of
public drinking water because of its toxic effect on
harmful bacteria and other waterborne, disease-causing
organisms. But there is a growing body of scientific
evidence that shows that chlorine in drinking water may
actually pose greater long-term dangers than those for
which it was used to eliminate. These effects of
chlorine may result from either ingestion or
absorption though the skin. Scientific studies have
linked chlorine and chlorination by-products to
cancer of the bladder, liver, stomach, rectum, and
colon, as well as heart disease, atherosclerosis
(hardening of the arteries), anemia, high blood
pressure, and allergic reactions. There is also
evidence that shows that chlorine can destroy
protein in our body and cause adverse effects on
skin and hair.
“The presence of chlorine in water may also contribute
to the formation of chloramine in the water, which can
cause taste and odor problems.”
“Since chlorine is required by public health regulations
to be present in all public drinking water supplies, it is
up to the individual to remove it at the point-of-use in
the home.
Kemysts Laboratory
Dr. Riddle, Ph.D.
“Cancer risks among people drinking chlorinated
water is 93% higher than among those whose water
does not contain chlorine.”

“Drinking tap water that is chlorinated is hazardous,
if not deadly to your health.”

a direct consequence of the practice of
chlorination, a long establishing public health
practice for the disinfection of drinking water.”

Francis T. Mayo, Director
“Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern
times. While it prevented epidemics of one disease,
it was creating another. Two decades ago, after the
start of chlorinating our drinking water in 1904, the
present epidemic of heart trouble, cancer, and
senility began.”
Saginaw Hospital
Dr. J.M. Price, M.D.
“The cause of atherosclerosis and resulting heart
attack and strokes is none other than ubiquitous
chlorine in our drinking water.”

Dr. J.M. Price, M.D.
“A Professor of Water Chemistry at the
University of Pittsburgh claims that exposure to
vaporized chemicals in the water supplies
through showering, bathing, and inhalation is
100 times greater than through drinking tap
water.”
“As chlorine is added to kill pathogenic
microorganisms, the highly reactive chlorine
combines with fatty acids and carbon fragments to
form a variety of toxic compounds, which comprise
about 30% of the chlorination by-products.”
“During the mid-70s, monitoring efforts began to
identify widespread toxic contamination of the
nation’s drinking water supplies, epidemiological
studies began to suggest a link between ingestion of
toxic chemicals in the water and elevated cancer
mortality risks. Since those studies were completed,
a variety of additional studies have strengthened the
statistical connection between consumption of toxins
in water and elevated cancer risks. Moreover, this
basic concern has been heightened by other
research discoveries.”

“Evidence points to chlorine-based compounds
(orcanochlorines) as significant contributors to
the epidemic of chronic illnesses in humans,

chlorine-based chemicals, like CFC’s and other
refrigerants, are primarily responsible for the
destruction of the Earth’s protective ozone
layer.”

10. Hydromagnetic Conditioning Principles
“It would be difficult to consider modern techniques without magnetism. Radar,
television, radio, the electron microscope, cyclotrons in atomic energy, etc., could
not work without the existence of permanent magnets to guide the electrons to
increase their kinetic energy. It is well known that magnetic fields may have an
effect on the behavior of dissolved matter as well as crystalline matter; it is
therefore logical that these fields could act during the reaction in which these
matters take a part, and more particularly, on corrosion and scale formation.”
The operation of hydromagnetic conditioning systems is based on the fact that most
scale-causing solids in fluid systems are diamagnetic. Typical scale-causing
substances are calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, gypsum, barium sulfate, sodium
chloride, magnesium, sulfate, paraffin, oil waxes and grease.
A diamagnetic substance does not have a permanent magnetic moment. This
means it will lose its polarity due to changes in pressure, temperature and/or time.
When diamagnetic molecules are no longer magnetized, they lose their ability to
repel each other. Without this ability, the molecules clump together, forming
clusters too large to remain suspended in the fluid system. This results in the
formation of scale that we commonly call “lime” (in water) or “carbon deposits” (in
fuel).
This situation can be corrected, however. If diamagnetic substances are subjected
to a magnetic field, they will regain their magnetism. In fact, they will take on the
polarity of the magnetic field itself, a phenomenon called induced polarization.
Once again able to repel each other, the diamagnetic molecules do not cluster,
remaining suspended in the fluid system and eliminating both new and existing
scale buildup (lime and carbon deposits). The ability to reverse existing buildup is
important since it restores pipes and equipment to their original condition. This
happens because the re-polarized molecules are able to re-polarize the other
molecules that have settled out, suspending them once again in the fluid system.
Hydromagnetic conditioning systems provide the quantity and quality of magnetic
energy required to induce polarization in scale-causing substances. The patented
magnetic circuits, optimize the factors that affect performance; gauss; field
direction, shape and strength; velocity and fluid properties.
All of this is accomplished with a marvel of simplicity -- and low cost. They install
easily, require no electricity or maintenance, do not add or remove anything from
fluids; and they virtually last for ever. If chemicals are being used, they can be
reduced significantly, and in some cases, eliminated.
Simply Stated
Water Conditioners magnetically alter the physical characteristics of water-borne
minerals so they don’t cling to pipes or equipment surfaces. No scale is formed
because minerals remain in a rinsable, purgable solution. This technology does not
add or remove anything from the water, so water purity is unaffected.

12. Is bottled water the answer?
We don’t think so, while it’s generally good
tasting, bottled water is:
•Expensive, anywhere from $0.79 to $5.00 per gallon, and will
continue to increase in price!
•The quality of some, maybe little or no better than tap water
•Plastic bottles may leach PCB’s into the water
•Large bottles are heavy to lug around
•When you take a bath or shower your body is still absorbing
•the chlorine, chloramines, and other chemicals anyway, even if
you’re drinking bottled water.
