Does anyone know about the Eco-Aqualizer?

Does the Eco-aqualizer actually work? If it works, i think it would be worth the price. Give me any feedback and comments......thanks

The eco-aqualizer is just a tube with magnets wrapped inside and does absolutely nothing for the tank. Everything they say it does is BS.

It's like those magnetic bracelets.

I got two of them but one for free and the other was for a club donation thing which was only $10......I use them in my sumps for FW but the pump was already there to circulate the sump area so I figured what the hay.

I did some research on that thing a couple of months ago and found a link with a teardown of one with photos and everything .

Like Luke said. Just a few very cheap magnets attached to apeice of PVC pipe with electrical tape.

If you want to find my link, do a search on this forum for Eco-Aqualyzer.

No.

Here's the teardown of a unit with findings of a controlled experiment showing no effect on the redox potential of water using an Eco-Aqualiser:
