How ETHIX WATER
CONDITIONER removes Scale & Rusting ?
This Section will explain how Ethix works and how it removes limescale
within the pipes and keeps it from forming again.

1. Ethix Theory - (For Non-ferrous Based Pipes)
ETHIX unit is composed of a signal cable that is wrapped several
times around a pipe and an electronic unit that sends out acomplex, dynamic current to produce extremely small, timevarying, oscillating fields inside the pipe. This electronic unit isavailable in several sizes in terms of power. The larger the size ofthe pipe, the more power is required. This unit is designed to workon non-ferrous based pipes only. The current that produces anoscillating field is known as Ampere's Law.
ETHIX signal produces a unique square wave current thatsweeps all the frequency responses from 1,000 - 20,000 Hz at arate of 20 times a second. When the strength of the oscillating
field varies with time and changes direction, an induced current isproduced inside the pipe, a phenomenon known as Faraday's
Law of Induction. This induced, oscillating electric field provides
the necessary molecular agitation for scale prevention andremoval.

2. The induced molecular agitation (IMA) of the ETHIX
technology causes the unstable mineral ions to precipitate,providing initial nucleation sites for further precipitation ofadjacent mineral ions. A snowball effect starts, resulting ingrowth of many crystals, each consisting of numerous mineralions. These insoluble crystal salts become large in size and float
with water, thus they do not stick to the metal surfaces because
the crystals do not have the charges at the surface anymore.

3. As the by-products of the precipitation and snowball effect ofmineral particles, the free water molecules become available todissolve existing scale. In other words, the electronic signal
generated through the ETHIX induction coil breaks apart watermolecules with calcium carbonate attached and thus becomesan empty water molecule that immediately begins to attract
calcium molecules from scale buildup on pipes throughout thesystem.

4.It is well known in water chemistry that most water molecules
are locked in aggregates in liquid water and less than 20% exists
as free water molecules. This is because water molecules have adipole moment - the hydrogen atom is attracted to the oxygen
atom of the adjacent water molecule.The frequency modulation
technology developed by ETHIX allows the induced electricalagitation to tune to the natural frequency of the water molecules
vibrating in the aggregates.Through the cooperative resonanceof the water molecules, free water molecules become available,dissolving existing scale in the pipe.

5. ETHIX’s Square Wave Current

available, removing existing scale.

7. Physical Law of ‘IMA’ETHIX signal produces an IMA, induced molecular agitation
which will be fully described in this section.
As reported earlier in this chapter, the ETHIX unit involves anelectric unit and a signal cable that is wound around the outside
wall of the pipe. The unit supplies a current inside the coil toproduce a magnetic field.

The "right-hand rule" determines the direction of the magnetic
field inside the pipe. The strength of the magnetic field is
proportional to the product of the current and the number of turns
in the coil.

8. ETHIX's signal sweeps all frequency responses from 1,000 to
20,000 Hz at a rate of 20 times a second. This is done by afrequency-modulated square wave signal. When the strength ofthe magnetic field varies with time, an induced current is
produced inside the pipe.
This is known as Faraday's Law of Induction.

This induced current, when supplied with the proper amount of
DC current in milliamps, produces this induced molecularagitation to take place at the coil. The strength of this electric field
is important.

9.Physical Laws of Induced
Molecular Agitation (IMA).
As we have mentioned before, a wire is wound several times on theoutside of the pipe, thus creating a solenoid coil. When there is a current
flowing in the solenoid coil, a magnetic field is produced called Ampere's
Law. The right- hand rule determines the direction of the magnetic field
inside the pipe. The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to theproduct of the current, I, and the number of turns of coil, N.
B = y on I
Where B = magnetic field vector[Wb/m2 or Ns/Cm]
The magnetic strength produced by ETHIX solenoid coil is muchsmaller than that of permanent magnets.

10.Comparison of Strength of
Various Magnets
Simple "Refrigerator" Magnet - 100 Gauss
Bar Magnet- 100 - 1,000 Gauss
Magnets Intended to Remove Scale - 4,000 - 6,000 Gauss
Large Scientific Magnets- 20,000 - 40,000 Gauss

As you can see, ETHIX does not rely on the strength of themagnetic field at all. The strength of the magnetic field produced
by ETHIX is about 1/1000 of a simple refrigerator magnet thatyou use to hold notes in the kitchen!

11. ETHIX signal sweeps all frequency responses from 1,000
to 20,000 Hz at a rate of 20 times a second. This step is called"frequency modulation". This frequency modulation is necessary
because no one knows the natural frequency of supersaturated
water--water where the calcium ions "are barely hanging on".
This is the key to ETHIX success.

As you will see in the rest of this section, hitting the supersaturated"barely hanging in water" ions with the natural frequency is imperative
for the ETHIX to perform regardless of flow rate and hardness level.
This is when most permanent magnets fail to do the job.

12.The natural frequency of the supersaturated water criticallydepends on its viscosity (the tendency of a fluid to resist flowing
due to internal forces such as the attraction of the molecules foreach other or the friction of the molecules during flow) and watertemperature. Since it is impossible to determine the natural
frequency of water being treated in any given situation, afrequency modulation method needs to "self-tune" to the natural
frequency of the water.
ETHIX will sweep all the frequencies from 1,000 to 20,000 Hz at
a rate of current 20 times a second. A certain amount of power,
in the mA levels is applied to residential models and up to 40
amps to our largest industrial model that can handle 40” pipe.
The more powerful the unit, the more power is applied. It is thischange of current that created a rapid magnetic flux change.
It is imperative to create as rapid a change in polarities as
possible to achieve proper treatment of the water.
This complete frequency modulation must be done during thetime the water is passing through the induced coil to hit theresonance frequency of as many supersaturated molecules aspossible. This is critical to the success of the ETHIX where mostothers fail.

13.All flow rates vary as do pipe sizes. So a unit must be as
sophisticated as the ETHIX to be successful.

14. It is important to have the correct amount of wrapping of
coil around the pipe. Too little will cause not all the supersaturated
molecules from being "fine tuned" to the natural frequency as thewater passes the coil. In other words, a coil only wrapped ½ way
may, in theory, hit only 1/2 the water. The descaling process would
take twice as long and the surface tension of the water molecules
would not be altered much to notice any effects of the "descaled"water.

15. As the supersaturated water is being treated by the "IMA",
the calcium and bicarbonate ions which are barely hanging inwater collide with each other. Since these ions are not fully
hydrated, the collision easily results in a solid calcium carbonate,creating a nucleation site.

??

16. Once the new nucleation site becomes available, thesnowball effect of precipitation occurs. A snowball of calcium
carbonate will grow until it becomes so large that there are nomore surface charges left to attract other "partially hydrated"calcium and bicarbonate ions. A large number of "partiallyhydrated" calcium ions are precipitated, thus removed from thesupersaturated solution. Subsequently, the unstable"undersaturated" solution and the scale buildup stops.

17. We mentioned earlier that scale-causing ions (calcium andbicarbonate ions) are barely "hanging in water" in a supersaturated solution.
When "poorly dissolved" calcium and bicarbonate ions are removed from thesupersaturated solution through nucleation and precipitation, those ionswhich are not involved in the precipitation become fully hydrated by freed
water molecules, resulting in a thermodynamic equilibrium.
As the dissolved calcium and bicarbonate ions precipitate and areremoved from the supersaturated solution through crystal growth,
excess water molecules become available. These water molecules
will either recombine with neighboring water molecules, thus locked
in clusters of water or be used to fully hydrate the "poorly hydrated"calcium and bicarbonate ions which are barely hanging in water.
Since the surface charges of calcium and bicarbonate ions are
greaterthan that of water molecules, the temporarily freed watermolecules are likely to be attracted to the surfaces of scale-causing
Ions.

18.

19.ETHIX technology takes advantage of the uniquecharacteristics of water, the polar molecule. The positivehydrogen of one water molecule is strongly attracted to thenegative oxygen of a neighboring water molecule and theconnecting force is the van der Waal force, often referred tosimply as "hydrogen bond". In the liquid water, there is a mixtureof separate individual water molecules and aggregates ofhydrogen-bonded water molecules. The water molecules in theaggregates do not function as efficiently as solvent as theseparate water molecules.

20.ETHIX technology generates a self-tuning induction using
the frequency modulation with its specially designed squarewave form. This self-tuning dynamic induction automaticallytunes to the natural frequencies of vibrating water molecules,
producing a resonance between the vibrating water molecules
and the dynamic induction. The resonance breaks the hydrogenbonds in a cluster of liquid water, freeing water molecules. Since
the solubility depends on the number of available separate watermolecules, this process of breaking hydrogen bonds
dramatically increases the solubility of water.

The freed individual water molecules will either recombine withneighboring water molecules or surround (hydrate) the calcium ions.
The latter is what actually happens. In a supersaturated solution,
the calcium and bicarbonate ions are partially hydrated, i.e., barely"hanging in water", which is the reason they are unstable.Since
the surface charges of the calcium and bicarbonate ions are greaterthan that of the water molecule, the freed water molecules willsurround the calcium and bicarbonate ions which are not involvedin the previously mentioned precipitation, thus fully hydrating them.
Subsequently, the unstable supersaturated solution becomes astable, undersaturated solution and the scale buildup stops.

21.

22. How the Descaling Process
Works
Water molecules are interconnected via
hydrogen bonds. They are not readily
available to dissolve minerals andchemicals.

The hydrogen bonds are broken,
freeing individual water molecules,
making water molecules available tominerals and chemicals.

This is accomplished with a time varying Magnetic field inside thepipe at 1,000 - 20,000 Hz (Faraday's Law of Induction combinedwith ETHIX square wave signal, IMA)

23.The Hypothesis ofDescaling Process

24. The Natural Frequency of
the Vibration of Water Molecules
The key to ETHIX success is the way our "IMA" field hits theresonance frequency of the water molecules.
As we have mentioned before, ETHIX singal sweeps all frequency
responses from 1,000 - 20,000 Hz at a rate of 20 times per second
as we alternate from + 5 volts to - 5 volts+ 5 volts
0 volts- 5 volts
Many experts have estimated the internal frequency of wateras f = 1,000 - 20,000 Hz
The ETHIX easily falls in this range and by changing the current
it creates a rapid magnetic flux change. It is critical to create as
rapid of a change in the polarities as possible to properly treat thewater.

25. The mechanism of breaking the hydrogen bond is resonance!
When the external disturbance provided by ETHIX matches thenatural frequency of the hydrogen atom, the hydrogen bonds arebroken instantly. It is important that ETHIX frequency range exceeds
the best estimate of the internal natural frequency of water because
this natural frequency can vary with temperature, pressure, minerals
present, pH and other factors.

ØSummary of ETHIX Technology
ETHIX produces a frequency modulation signal that produces an "IMA",
induced molecular agitation inside the pipe when applied with a squarewave signal. When water and scale-causing ions (dissolved calciumcarbonate) are treated by the "IMA", two things happen:1.) "IMA": creates nucleation sites, initiating the "snowball" effect.
Suspensions of soft and less-adherent calcium carbonate crystals areformed, thus removing dissolved calcium and bicarbonate ions from asupersaturated solution.
2.) "IMA" breaks hydrogen bonds in an aggregate of liquid water, freeing
a lot of water molecules from the aggregate. More free water moleculesmean an increase in the solubility of water. The unstable supersaturated
calcium carbonate solution becomes a stable undersaturated solution,
resulting in the prevention of scale buildup.

In order to produce the above mentioned IMA, ETHIX applies a frequency-modulation
technology. This technology is based on a well- established induction theory. When there
is a change in a magnetic field with time, an induction of electric field is produced. Since
the ETHIX technology utilizes a square-wave current that scans all the frequencies at
1,000 to 20,000 Hz at 20 times a second at a controlled amount of power designed
specifically for the pipe size being treated. Furthermore, water molecules, althoughneutral, are polar molecules, thus behaving like an ion in an electric field. The oscillationof the induced electric field provided molecular agitation to these electrically active ionsand water molecules. Subsequently, the scale-causing ions in a supersaturated solution
begin to fall out of water, i.e., precipitate and nucleate, thus initiating the snowball effect.
The solid calcium carbonate crystals which consist of numerous calcium carbonate
molecules become less adherent and flow with the water in the form of suspended
particles.
