A method and apparatus is disclosed for magnetic treatment of liquids by concentrating primarily south pole magnetic fields on the liquids to provide descaling and deliming properties thereto. One embodiment of the invention generally comprises a cylindrical casing of molded plastic or the like for surrounding a pipe through which a liquid is passed. The casing includes plural magnets arranged around the periphery of the pipe in such a manner that their north poles are directed radially outwardly from the central axis of the pipe and their south poles are directed radially inwardly toward the central axis in order to concentrate the south pole magnetic fields more strongly upon the fluid. In an alternate embodiment, the orientation of the poles has been reversed such that the liquid is subjected to predominantly north pole magnetic fields.

Apparatus for the magnetic treatment of a liquid flowing through a conduit comprising: (a) magnetic means including at least one magnet having a north pole and a south pole for respectively providing north and south magnetic fields; (b) a one-piece support member for supporting said magnet externally of the conduit wherein said magnet is affixed to said support member so that one pole can be located toward the conduit and the other pole can be located away from the conduit such that each magnet included in the entire device has only the same pole oriented toward the conduit and has the other pole oriented only away from said conduit to enable only one of the magnetic fields to be generally directed by each magnet into the conduit and to enable the other magnetic field to be generally directed by each magnet only away from the conduit; and (c) connecting means for removably mounting said support member and said magnet onto the conduit so that the liquid in the conduit is exposed only to predominately the one magnetic field directed into the conduit, wherein said connecting means comprises mounting flanges on said one-piece support member, each flange having an opening, and a connecting fastener cooperating with the openings on the mounting flanges of the support member to permit the support member and the magnet to be removably mounted onto the conduit.
