Vortex Magnetic Water Treatment — Dual-Stage Conditioning
The Fractal Water Super Imploder is our original vortex magnetic water treatment system — combining a golden ratio vortex nozzle with a powerful 8-magnet array to produce structured, conditioned water proven to increase plant growth, reduce water consumption, and eliminate scale buildup. The system ships complete with both the magnetic array and vortex nozzle. Ideal for agricultural operations, hydroponics setups, greenhouse irrigation, and garden use.
How It Works
Water first passes through the vortex nozzle, where the precision-engineered golden ratio geometry spins water into a structured vortex, reducing surface tension and restructuring molecular clusters. The vortex-treated water then flows through the 8-magnet array inside the magnetic housing, where the Lorentz force converts dissolved calcite into soft aragonite crystals. The dual-stage treatment produces water that penetrates soil more deeply, delivers nutrients more effectively, and resists scale formation.

Super Imploder vs Ultra Imploder
The Super Imploder can be installed on a main water line just like the Ultra Imploder — both systems deliver the same dual-stage vortex magnetic treatment. The key difference is construction: the Ultra Imploder uses a one-piece 316 stainless steel body with 1″ connections, making it inherently resistant to mechanical stress in permanent, high-pressure installations. The Super Imploder’s Technyl vortex nozzle is heat-welded and rated to 320 PSI, but its two-piece fused construction requires proper mechanical support when installed on a main line (see installation stress guidelines below).
The Super Imploder’s vortex nozzle is manufactured by heat-welding two precision-molded Technyl halves into a single fused unit. While this joint is rated to 320 PSI under hydrostatic pressure, it is a potential stress concentration point under mechanical load — meaning the nozzle should never bear the unsupported weight of the magnetic array, piping, or fittings. Improper support can create bending stress at the weld seam that is independent of water pressure.
Required Support Practices
Support both components independently. The magnetic array (6.60 lbs) and the vortex nozzle (0.53 lbs) must each be supported by pipe hangers, straps, or brackets. Never allow the magnetic array to hang from the nozzle threads unsupported.
Eliminate cantilevered loads. If the magnetic array is mounted horizontally, the pipe on each side must be secured with hangers within 6 inches of each connection point. The nozzle should not act as a structural bridge between unsupported spans.
Use a support bracket or cradle. For horizontal installations, place a pipe strap or U-bolt cradle under the nozzle body at the widest point (4.21″ diameter). This distributes weight away from the weld seam.
Avoid torsional stress during installation. When threading the nozzle onto the magnetic array, use two wrenches — one to hold the nozzle, one to turn the fitting. Never grip and twist the nozzle body itself, as this applies torque directly across the weld seam.
Vertical installation is ideal. A vertical orientation (water flowing upward or downward) places the weld seam in pure compression/tension from water pressure only, with no bending load from gravity. This is the lowest-stress configuration.
Thermal expansion clearance. Leave 1/4″ of axial play in the pipe supports to allow for thermal expansion in hot water lines. Rigid clamping on both sides of a Technyl component in a hot water system can create compressive stress during temperature cycling.
Maximum Unsupported Span
For typical 3/4″ piping (PVC, copper, or PEX), standard hanger spacing ranges from 4-6 feet depending on material. For the Super Imploder assembly, reduce this to no more than 12 inches on either side of the nozzle-to-array connection. This ensures the weld seam carries only hydrostatic pressure — not the bending load of a long unsupported pipe run.
Bottom line: The vortex nozzle is built to handle water pressure well beyond any residential or agricultural system. Mechanical stress from improper support is the risk factor to manage. Support it properly and it will last decades.
Boost with a ReCharger
For longer pipe runs, add a ReCharger downstream to reinforce the magnetic treatment at the point of use. The Super Imploder provides vortex structuring + magnetic conditioning, and the ReCharger extends the magnetic effect right where it matters most.
Pressure Rating & Construction
The Super Imploder’s vortex nozzle is manufactured using precision heat-welding that fuses the two Technyl shell halves into a single, seamless unit — eliminating glue joints and dramatically increasing burst strength. The assembled nozzle has been hydrostatically tested to 320 PSI (22 bar) continuous operating pressure, with burst failure occurring at 328 PSI (22.6 bar). This rating exceeds the operating pressure of virtually every residential, agricultural, and commercial water system worldwide.

Water Hammer Advisory
Water hammer (hydraulic shock) occurs when a valve closes suddenly, creating a pressure transient that can spike to 2–4x the normal operating pressure. At a typical 80 PSI residential supply, a severe water hammer event could produce transient pressures of 250–350 PSI — approaching the nozzle’s rated limit. If your installation is in a system prone to water hammer (quick-close solenoid valves, pump starts/stops, long straight pipe runs), take the following precautions:
Install a water hammer arrestor upstream of the Super Imploder (e.g., Sioux Chief Mini-Rester 660-H, Watts Series 150A, or Zurn ShockGuard)
Use slow-close valves at downstream fixtures and irrigation solenoids to reduce pressure spikes
Install a pressure-reducing valve (PRV) if your supply pressure exceeds 80 PSI — most plumbing codes require this anyway
Add an expansion tank on closed-loop recirculation systems to absorb pressure fluctuations
Secure the pipe run with proper hangers and straps to prevent movement during transients
Fitting Guide by Pipe Type
The Super Imploder connects via 3/4″ NPT female threads on the magnetic array and 3/4″ NPT on the vortex nozzle. Here are the recommended fittings for each pipe type you may encounter:

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Super Imploder last? The magnetic array is built from steel and PVC with an expected lifespan of 30+ years. The Technyl vortex nozzle is rated for 20+ years in continuous water contact. No moving parts, no filters, nothing to replace.
Can I install it on my main water line? Yes. The Super Imploder can be installed on a 3/4″ main water line. The heat-welded vortex nozzle is rated to 320 PSI. However, both the nozzle and magnetic array must be independently supported with pipe hangers — see the Installation Stress Guidelines section above.
Can I install it myself? Yes. Thread the vortex nozzle onto the magnetic array (both 3/4″ NPT), then install inline using SharkBite push-to-connect fittings (copper/PEX) or NPT threaded couplings. Most installations take under an hour.
Does it require electricity? No. Completely passive — water pressure alone drives the vortex and magnetic treatment. Zero electricity, zero programming, zero ongoing costs.
Which direction does water flow? Water enters the vortex nozzle end first (the cone-shaped piece), then flows through the magnetic array. The vortex structuring happens first, then the magnetic conditioning.
What about water hammer? The Technyl nozzle is rated to 320 PSI, but water hammer can produce transient spikes of 250–350 PSI. Install a water hammer arrestor upstream if your system has quick-close solenoid valves or pump cycling. See the Water Hammer Advisory section above.
What is the difference between the Super Imploder and the Ultra Imploder? Both deliver the same dual-stage vortex + magnetic treatment. The Ultra Imploder uses 316 stainless steel with 1″ connections for permanent installations. The Super Imploder uses a Technyl nozzle with 3/4″ connections — lighter, more affordable, and ideal for agriculture, hydroponics, and garden applications.
Can I boost treatment at distant fixtures? Yes. Add a ReCharger downstream on 3/4″ branch lines to reinforce the magnetic treatment at the point of use.
