Does it really work? How? Evidence? (silence).
The scientific consensus is that magnets have no measurable effect on water. I really, really wish this was not the case, but nobody has proved it works. It's not a conspiracy by the makers of anti-scale techniques which do work. Please, someone, prove me wrong, I beg you!!!

- I don't know about "scientific consesus". There are several studies that have support the theory, that there is a change in the aragonite/calcite ratio when water passes through a static magnetic field. Calcite is the stuff that sticks to surfaces, aragonite, not so much. I'd rather say "inconsesus" :) Journal of Water Process Engineering Volume 9, February 2016: "In the pilot network, magnetic field decreased calcium scaling by 15% in the both studied piping materials..." Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials Volume 209, Issues 1–3, February 2000: "Carbonates formed by heating water containing ≈120 mg(Ca)/l are characterized by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. Tests on 32 pairs of samples establish, at the 99.9% probability level, that drawing water through a static magnetic field (B≈0.1T, ∇B≈10 T/m) increases the aragonite/calcite ratio in the deposit..." Just my two cents, tho don't believe everything you read ;)
