ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus in which water is magnetically treated to retard the growth of zebra mussels in water systems, thereby reducing the requirements and cost of water-system maintenance and the quantity of toxic chemical treatments released to the environment. The method includes removing a volume of water from a zebra mussel infested environment, magnetically treating the water, then returning the treated water back to the environment. The apparatus includes a permanent magnet of alternating polarity to form a magnetic field through which the water is treated.
