Model 800 GMX Magnetic Fluid
Conditioner
For 1/2" to 1" Tubing or Pipe.

APPLICATIONS
Primary
Applications:
Residential,
commercial, and light industrial applications wherever
hard water is present (plumbing systems, water heaters,
commercial ice machines, fountains, laundries, printing
equipment, commercial dishwashers).
Other
applications car and truck cooling systems, irrigation
systems.
INSTALLATION
1. Place
the Model 800 unit against the pipe or tube, with the GMX
label facing away from the pipe.
2. Place
the backing plate on the opposite side of the pipe, Align
the backing plate holes with the holes in the unit.[Please
note: The backing plate is designed to be reversible.
Place the two dimples toward the magnets for 1/2"
and 5/8" tubing, and away from the magnet for 3/4"
and larger pipes].
3. Insert
bolts through the holes in the unit and the backing plate.
Secure with wing-nuts.
4. Tighten
the unit until it is snug against the pipe. Do not over-tighten!
5. Install
the second unit in tandem with the first. Leave a 1"
space between them. Make sure the labels of both units
are on the same side and face the same direction.
6. Place an additonal 2 units on the line leaving the hot water heater including tankless heaters. |
SPECIAL NOTES
Placement:
The Model
800 is designed to be installed in a segment of two units
, placed wherever the water line enters the building ,
and spaced 1" apart. Single units may be used as
boosters for individual appliances, or on moderate
temperature recirculation systems.
Direction
of Placement:
The magnet
above the GMX label is the north pole, and the magnet
below the label is the south pole. The direction the
fluid flows through the pipe or tubing makes no
difference.
For best
results when placing the Model 800 to treat a particular
area or appliance, place the units at least 8" to 12"
upstream (before) the area of appliance to be treated.
Do not
place the Model 800 close to an electrical power line ,or
electrical equipment capable of generating strong
electrical fields, such as a welder or large electrical
motor. This can reduce the units effectiveness.
For
maximum effectiveness, magnetic conditioning requires a
smooth, calm flow of fluid through the magnetic field. A
partial reversal of the treatment may even be triggered
by turbulence. Therefore always place the Model 800 a
minimum of 18"to 24" downstream (after) any
pump or other turbulence causing device.
Non-Ferrous
Pipes Only:
Install
the Model 800 only on non-ferrous (PVC, Plastic,
copper,or stainless steel) pipe or tubing-- not on steel
or iron pipe. Don't place it on any pipe to which the
magnets stick. The penetration of a magnetic field
through iron or steel (except stainless steel) pipe is
minimal . in effect, the magnetic field travels along the
exterior of such pipes,preventing it from reaching the
fluid. In such cases, replace an 18" to 24"
section of steel pipe with either copper or PVC pipe, and
then install the Model 800 on that section.
Stabilization
Period:
For a few
weeks after installing the Model 800 you may notice an
increase in water turbidity (cloudiness). This is because
scale is being removed from the system. During this
stabilization period, carefully monitor filters, tanks,
and sumps each week, and drain or clean them as needed. |
