A magnetic water conditioner has a hollow casing with an array of disc type cylindrical magnets arranged coaxially in the casing to provide an annular magnetic treatment zone in the space between the casing and the array. The magnets are polarized along diameters and have pole faces at their lateral surfaces, the magnets being rotatable about the axis of the array to various fixed positions that enable determination of the best field arrangement, all without any structural changes in the design of the conditioner. A plastic housing for the array provides parallel flow channels in the treatment zone, and which are all traversed by water fed to the zone by virtue of return passageways provided by molded end caps that also have openings which provide the inlet and outlet to the treatment zone.

A water conditioner for magnetically treating calcarious waters comprising an elongated hollow casing having an inner wall and a longitudinal axis, an elongated array of magnets having opposite ends and being coaxially arranged within the casing and spaced apart from said inner wall to provide an annular water treatment zone in the space therebetween, a plurality of elongated parallel flow channels that are laterally arranged to surround said array in said treatment zone, each of said channels being arranged to extend between said opposite ends of the array and in parallel with said longitudinal axis, first means at one of said opposite ends defining a fluid inlet to said zone, second means at the other of said opposite ends defining a fluid outlet from said zone, said first and second means having return passageways that cooperate with said channels at said opposite ends to provide a fluid flow path in the treatment zone which extends between said fluid inlet and said fluid outlet and traverses each of said channels surrounding said array and in an arrangement such that the flow of fluid in adjacent channels is in opposite parallel directions, each of said magnets having diametrically oppositely facing pole faces of opposite polarities and a polar axis which is normal to said longitudinal axis, said casing being made of material having a high permeability and said channels being made of materials having a low permeability, whereby said casing provides a return path for flux generated by said array of magnets.
