The surplus goes back through the return line. Algae-X units are installed in the fuel line between the tank and the primary filter. Algae-X disrupts microbial activity, prevents clogged filters and reverses the process of sludge formation. Algae-X provides a powerful magnetic treatment chamber. Induction affects the fuel with suspended microbes and particles passing through the unit.
Microbes are very small one-cell organisms, a membrane filled with cellular fluid and electrolytes.
Their metabolism and reproduction depends on an electric balance over the cell membrane. Any disturbance of this delicate balance is detrimental to the cell's life sustaining functions.
