A liquid treatment unit (10) is provided for physically altering the molecular structure of a body of liquid. The liquid treatment unit (10) includes pipe couplers (16, 18) and first and second treatment cores (22, 24) extending between the pipe couplers (16, 18). Each of the treatment cores (22, 24) includes a pipe (38), a rod (62) extending through the pipe (38), and a plurality of magnets (42) coupled to the pipe (38). The magnets (42) include spaced-apart north and south poles (76, 78) and the magnets (42) and the rod (62) cooperate to create magnetic lines of flux flowing through the pipes (38). The magnets (42) of the first and second treatment cores (22, 24) are positioned to align the north poles (76) of the first treatment core (22) magnets (42) with the north poles (76) of the second treatment core (24) magnets (42) along a longitudinal axis (34) and align the south poles (78) of the first treatment core (22) magnets (42) with the south poles (78) of the second treatment core (24) magnets (42) along the longitudinal axis (34).
