Wetsus, the European Centre for Sustainable Water Technology, investigates the use of GRANDER devices in multiple studies

APA-OTS Press Release from May, 23rd 2024

Quote: “The devices referred to as ‘Water Core Magnet’ (WCM) in the publications are commercially available original GRANDER Double Cylinders.”

Jochberg (OTS) - Wetsus, the European Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology, investigates the effects of GRANDER devices in several studies within the Applied Water Physics theme.

GRANDER technology has polarized the scientific community and media over recent decades, but current studies using GRANDER cylinders in experimental setups show measurable effects.

New Studies Confirm Effects of GRANDER Technology

Using physical and microbiological measurement techniques, it is now possible to scientifically document the effects of GRANDER technology. In several scientific publications, the GRANDER Double Cylinder (Type DZKL), also known as "GRANDER Double Cylinder Small", was used in experimental setups. These studies, conducted among others by Wetsus, show measurable effects on electrical impedance, light scattering in the nanometer range, and microbiological activity.

Independent Scientific Confirmation

Dr. Elmar C. Fuchs confirms: “In my capacity as corresponding author of the publications listed below, as theme coordinator of the research theme Applied Water Physics and program manager of Wetsus, the European Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water technology I, Dr. Elmar C. Fuchs, confirm that the devices referred to as water core magnets or WCM (type DZKL) in the three publications listed below are commercially available Original GRANDER double cylinders (trade name “GRANDER Double Cylinder Small”) which Wetsus obtained from IPF GmbH, Jochberg, Austria.”

The studies show that weak, inhomogeneous magnetic fields have measurable effects on the formation of calcium carbonate nanostructures ("DOLLOPs") and the growth of certain bacteria in water.

Quote from the Studies

“The authors see great potential in the GRANDER Double Cylinder Water Core Magnet as an alternative tool for microbial management in drinking water supply chains and for the biological stabilisation of drinking water.”
