Hi GarySCWSVI,
All I can do at this point is test to see if it does in fact create the waveform described on their website, and test to see if I can detect a signal "on a fluid column".
Although this means nothing as far as "scale control" is concerned, there has been some debate whether the...
I've continued this thread on the Water Treatment:New & Alternative Technologies Forum under the thread "Putting Hydropath Technology to the Test".
bimr: Please take a look at the test material the vendor provided and provide feedback. Thanks!

I'm actually quite anxious to see what I find out with this.
The vendor indicated that the unit would be shipped same day, USPS Priority mail, so I should have it fairly soon.
They also provided me with some information regarding testing that I found very interesting.
They indicated that the...
Hi bimr,
I was getting tired of debating the "theory" surrounding this, so I decided to contact one of the USA distributors of this technology (not ClearWELL, but a USA Hydropath distributor). I explained that I was interested in testing a unit to determine if it in fact generates the waveform...
Well, now I'm even more currious regarding this technology.
It's funny how two people can read the same material and get two completely different things from it:
This would not indicate that they claim a "perfect sinusoidal curve". My understanding is that the signal generated is described by...
I'm going to say this, and then be done with it. (cheers everyone!)
After looking at the website posted by bimr above:
Once we get past the typo, I can not see why the base theory of operation (as far as inducing the signal into the fluid column) could not be done in this way. This is why I...
Hi bimr,
No need to get "testy". (a little pun here)
I missed you <sic> point somewhere.
I thought we were "debunking" this technology because the basic principles of physics do not allow for a signal (standing sine wave) to be induced on a fluid column?
Do you believe it is possible to...
Okay, so is my tap water an "aqueous solution", or "electrolyte solution"?
In either case, we should be able to see if "electrons flow through it" fairly easy:
1. Fill a glass tube with tap water, (let's say with a TDS of 100ppm)
2. Plug each end with a rubber stopper.
3. Insert a nail or...
After taking some time and looking over more of the Chem1 site, I would probably agree with perhaps 99% of his findings which I've looked at. Most of the devices are most likely complete nonsense.
I just can't seem to agree so quickly with this one "debunking" in particular, at least not for...
Wow, that was interesting, so let's dissect it!
"ferrite ring that encircles the water pipe induces a 200 kHz standing "sign" [sic] wave"
I'm going to throw out my SWR meter right now! Seems that radio should not even exist!
"so much for Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction"
So there...
bimr,
You are correct in that:
Clearwater Systems' use of the term "Cold Pasteurization" would appear to be misused or even misguiding, however catchy it may sound.
Dolphin systems are not certified by the FDA as a food process disinfection device, or a medical device, to my knowledge.
Does...
Hi again everyone,
1. I noticed that none of the above links point to any studies conducted by Weatherford, nor the technology they conducted testing with. (this thread topic)
2. I would assume that Weatherford has most likely kept this information confidential for the time being, for their...
Hi again,
First, I would like to thank GarySCWSVI for the plug for our "Water Treatment:New & Alternative Technologies Group" here on Eng-Tips. The purpose for the group, and rules for posting are pretty well documented. In any case, I feel that GarySCWSVI has been a great asset to the group...
So if EVAPCO was/is not seeing some level of success with this technology, why would they be offering it on their cooling towers? Just to make their clients mad? Or maybe to make one of their employees happy because they gave him a job?
This simply doesn't make sense to me...
I believe that...
