Abstract
A mechanism is proposed for magnetic water treatment which makes it possible to explain the known experimental facts. The polyextremal dependence of the treatment effects on the magnetic field strength and the flow velocity as well as the increases in viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the velocity of ultrasound are explained on its basis; specific changes in the IR spectrum of treated water are predicted.
