Ion circulation filtration - Anyone use one of these?

• Reduces water changes by up to 75%
• Eliminates Cloudy and Yellowing water
• Dramatically reduces Green Algae growth
• Eliminates toxic Ammonia build-up
• Keeps water Crystal Clear Year-round
• Increases Trace Element bio-availability
• Stabilizes pH while increasing O.R.P.
• Increases LIGHTING penetration by 24%
• Relieves Stress and improves Health

These guys have apparently hired away Marc Weiss' marketing staff...

 

This is great:

"ECO-AqualizerTM accomplishes such Healthy benefits by applying continuous ionizing pulses geared toward the collapse of water molecules. This collapsing of H2O molecules allows Oxygen atoms to become super saturated and exhibit much greater bio-availability."

 

I find it interesting. This product is based on some theory. The links in this thread represent other theories. An article on their web site ECO-Aqualizer National Product Review makes more sense to me than Rex Grigg's article. But I guess the question is: did anyone try it and can tell us about their real experience?

Before I am willing to try something new I like to think I understand why it is supposed to help my tank, and how it does it. I added CO2 and fertilizers and Excel with that logic. Plus, I added extra water circulation following the same logic. But, I don't see anything in the writeup about that device that tells me anything useful. For example, it says it puts ions in the water - I do that by adding fertilizers. Water itself is already ions, so turning part of it into ions is meaningless. Now, if this device were said to be a sure way to prevent algae, and the explanation made some sense to me, I would be buying it.

 

They do not claim they found an elixir. They claim it changes water characteristics and that it has a good effect on aquatic life. I think it's not a secret for our modern science that water is one of the most complex and wonderfull elements and that it will bring a lot of discoveries in the future. My friend who is PhD in chemistry confirmed that this is very possible that water molecules can form structures and that passing through a magnetic field water structures would possibly break or change in some other way.

Oops. I didn't want to start a discussion as I think we can find out if this device has any effect only by trying it. I just wanted to see if there is anyone who tried this device.

I just got a GREAT IDEA !

I think I'll market a similar magnet but incorporate it into a usable aquarium component. I'll direct the flow through an electro magnet, and use the field to generate an impeller to pump water. I'll call it "The Power Head" ! Catchy Huh ?
