| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water conditioners and in-line pipe devices that are designed to make irrigation more efficient. Lists magnetic/electromagnetic, electrostatic, catalytic, and ozone/oxygen treatment devices as the four main categories of water conditioning devices. States that "it has been difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of non-chemical water conditioners in the field, mainly because the devices are typically placed on a main pipe that delivers water to a large area." Concludes that "the peer-reviewed scientific studies done on non-chemical water conditioners show that there is no effect on water or soil quality, yet some golf courses using these devices claim to see a beneift." |
