Superior Water Conditioners
Superior Water Conditioners magnetically alter the natural characteristics of hard water minerals, making
it difficult for them to bond together and form a hard brittle scale. Instead, they remain in a suspended
state and will either flow on through, or can be easily purged from, water-using equipment and plumbing
systems. Superior technology also has zero environmental impact because it requires no energy or
chemicals to operate. The Superior Water Conditioner® is designed to leave the desirable things in the
RAW WATER
water such as calcium, magnesium and other minerals that are beneficial for human consumption.
The Superior Water Conditioner® is not a water softener and should not be represented as such. It
does, however, physically condition the water in such a way that hard water minerals will remain
suspended, rather than form a hard calcite scale on heat transfer surfaces. This chemical-free water
SHIELD
treatment process will increase efficiency and extend the life of water heaters, dishwashers, ice makers,
humidifiers and the over-all plumbing system.
The Superior Water Conditioner® also reduces surface tension of
water, which naturally offers additional benefits. The application
of a DU model in the distributor of a media type filter (shown
COPPER HOUSING
to the right) not only treats the domestic water supply for scale
FOR MAGNET
control, but also provides a much more thorough and effective
backwashing of filter media.
MULTI-FIELD
Superiorized® water is compatible with Green Sand, Birm, GAC,
PERMANENT
KDF, and even ion-exchange resins and will provide much better
MAGNET
results than just filtering or softening alone. When backwashing a
softener with Superiorized® water, the resin bed will remain loose
and not pack over many years of use, which will obviously extend
product life, increase efficiency, reduce salt consumption and
TREATED WATER
conserve water.
Other benefits of reducing water surface tension include

less spotting on dishes, silverware, and even shower doors.
Superiorized® water is great for washing down house siding,
windows and automobiles. It is also beneficial to irrigate with Superiorized® water, which

will greatly reduce fertilizer requirements, as well as conserve water.
