Gotcha. I didn't ream into it. I just jump to snake oil when I hear about using magnets to clean water because of my experience. I've worked in waster water for manufacturing facilities as well, but not an expert. I know clarifiers at paper mills stink.

Edit: I'll read some to save others explaining.

Magnetic water cleaning is generally snake oil. I have heard stories about manufacturing plants or hospitals that have been tricked into buying very expensive magnetic boiler feed water cleaning systems and they discontinue using the more expensive treatment chemicals. In a few months they ruin their steam boilers and other equipment and the magnetic water cleaning salesman are nowhere to be found. Happened at lot at VA hospitals for their hot water plants.

It is always easier to blame others. I am sure they maximized profits, but it was at the expensive of their employees. It will hurt them in the future making good talent less likely to join them for fear of leadership's lack of respect for their employees well being.
