FAQ - Drinking water

Where does the old dirt from the pipe go?

In drinking water systems they end up to the sewage, in closed systems (heating or cooling) a filter must be installed to take the dirt off.

Do we have to eat/drink it - is that harmful?

Old layers are dissolved in such a small quantities that it is not possible to notice them by eyes. The layers are built up from the minerals which water consists, so those are not harmful.

Does the magnetic field affect the whole pipework?

The treatment stays in cold water about seven days and in hot water about two days (depending of the temperature), and after that it gradually disappears. Distance is not what matters, but time.

Is the magnetic field dangerous to one's health?

The field is only in the coil pipe in which the water is treated. The unit is normally in the technical room and one meter away from the coil pipe the field is as strong as a toasters.

Doesn't the old pipework collapse after removing the layers?

The layers dont give strength to the pipes and if the plumbing is very weak it should be renovated as soon as possible.

How does it affect the quality and taste of the water?

In many cases the layers and corrosion (dissolved metals) give bad taste to the water and after the corrosion is stopped the quality and taste improves.

Why is technology like this not obligatory for new water pipes?

A question which is repeated often. We can not reply, its not in our hands. But in many cases the constructors of new or renovated buildings have ended up protecting their new water systems after seeing the good results of Bauer water treatment.
