The
principle purpose of using the GMX System
to prevent and/or achieve descaling of
the plumbing, pipes, and process
equipment for homes, business, and
industry. Also, the GMX system will
condition hydrocarbon based fuels to
improve combustion and prevent unwanted
varnish and scum build-up in fuel systems.
Certain conditions that may impact
performance of GMX System are listed
below and should be addressed.
Steel Tubing,
Iron or Galvanized Pipes
The penetration of a magnetic field
through steel tubing / pipe (except for
stainless steel) or iron pipe is minimal.
If the GMX device sticks to the tubing or
pipe, it won't work. The accepted method
of treatment in this case is to remove
and replace a 24" section of pipe
with either copper, plastic, PVC, rubber,
aluminum, or stainless steel tubing or
pipe.
Water Clarity
After installing the GMX System, an
increase in water turbidity (cloudiness)
may be noted. This relates to a
stabilization period of a few weeks
during which calcium deposits are being
removed from the system while the GMX
System is descaling. It is important to
monitor filters, tanks, and sumps weekly/monthly
and drain or clean them as needed.
Pumps, Filters,
or Turbulence
For best results, always install GMX
units a MINIMUM of 24" downstream of
any pump, 12" downstream of your
water meter, 6" downstream of any
filters and 3" from any elbow or T.
Ideally, magnetic treatment requires a
laminar (smooth) flow of the fluid
through the magnetic field for maximum
effectiveness.
Underground
Pipe
In some situations, underground piping of
magnetically treated water may adversely
affect the treatment. Treatment of long
or extensive (100 feet or more)
underground water lines or sprinkler
systems may require additional units.
As a rule of thumb we
like to see no more than 100 feet of pipe
from the point of treatment to the point
of use. Most home have 50 feet or less of
pipe from the point of water entry to the
final point of use. Even if you install
your GMX units just after your water
meter you should be within these guide
lines.
Electrical
Equipment
The magnetic treatment of the GMX System
may be decreased if electrical equipment
capable of generating a strong electrical
field, i.e. a welder or large electrical
motor, is too close to a water line on
which the units are placed. Similarly, an
electric power line running next to the
pipe for over 12" (in parallel)
within 6" may decrease the
effectiveness of the treatment.
Electrical lines crossing a pipe have no
effect.
Car and Truck
Diagnostic Computers and Sensors
The magnetic field surrounding the GMX
units can interfere with certain
functions of diagnostic computers
standard on late model cars and trucks.
Maintain a minimum 12" separation
between the units and any such equipment.
Fuel M.P.G.
and Emissions
After installing the GMX System, a
temporary decrease in mileage or increase
in emissions may be noted. This is
temporary as accumulated deposits are
being removed from the fuel system and
combustion chamber.
