Product Description

Premium Vortex Magnetic Water Treatment — 316 Stainless Steel

The Fractal Water Ultra Imploder is our flagship water treatment system — combining a one-piece 316 stainless steel vortex nozzle with dual magnetic recharger sleeves housing 8 high-power N52 neodymium magnets. Unlike the Super Imploder’s Technyl nozzle, the Ultra Imploder’s vortex nozzle is machined from solid stainless steel, making it virtually indestructible under any residential, commercial, or industrial pressure. At 33.94 lbs of precision-engineered steel, this is the system designed for permanent main line installation and built to outlast the building it’s installed in.


How It Works

Water enters through the 1″ NPT connection and passes through the stainless steel vortex nozzle, where precision golden ratio geometry creates a powerful structured vortex. The vortex-treated water then flows through the 18″ stainless steel pipe section, passing through two magnetic recharger sleeves containing 8 N52 neodymium magnets arranged with north poles facing. The dual-stage treatment restructures water at the molecular level — reducing surface tension, converting calcite to aragonite, increasing dissolved oxygen, and improving mineral bioavailability.

  • Bathing & shower: Softer skin, healthier hair, less chemical odor — without the slimy residue of salt-based softeners.
  • Cooking & food prep: Improved water quality directly improves the flavor and quality of coffee, tea, pasta, soups, and all water-based cooking.

Installation Guidelines

The Ultra Imploder weighs 33.94 lbs — significantly heavier than the Super Imploder. The all-steel construction eliminates polymer stress concerns, but the weight itself requires proper mounting:

  • Always use the included mounting bracket. The pivoting bracket must be secured to a wall, floor joist, or structural surface with appropriate fasteners before connecting piping. Never allow the full 33.94 lbs to hang from pipe threads alone.
  • Secure both ends. Support the pipe on both the inlet (nozzle) and outlet (magnetic array) sides with pipe hangers rated for 1″ steel pipe. The mounting bracket handles the body weight; pipe hangers prevent bending at the threaded connections.
  • Use unions for service access. Install a 1″ NPT stainless steel union on at least one side so the unit can be removed for inspection or relocation without cutting pipe.
  • Do not use a torch near the magnetic sleeves. When soldering or brazing nearby copper fittings, use Viega ProPress or SharkBite push-to-connect instead. Excessive heat can degrade the Zylan coating on the magnetic housing and weaken the neodymium magnets.
  • Any orientation works. Horizontal, vertical, or angled — the mounting bracket pivots to accommodate all positions. Ensure the bracket is secured before connecting piping.
  • Water flow direction matters. Water must enter the vortex nozzle end (large diameter) and exit the magnetic array end (pipe). The nozzle end is marked on the unit.

Fitting Guide by Pipe Type

The Ultra Imploder uses 1″ NPT connections on both ends. Here are the recommended fittings for each pipe material:

  • Copper pipe (1″): SharkBite 1″ push-to-connect coupling or Viega ProPress 1″ press × NPT adapter. Do not use a torch near the magnetic sleeves.
  • PEX pipe (1″): SharkBite 1″ PEX push-to-connect or brass PEX crimp coupling with crimp rings
  • CPVC pipe (1″): SharkBite 1″ push-to-connect or 1″ CPVC socket × NPT adapter with solvent cement
  • Galvanized / black iron (1″): 1″ NPT threaded nipple — threads directly, no adapter needed
  • PVC Schedule 40 (1″): 1″ PVC socket × NPT female adapter with PVC primer and cement
  • Stainless steel (1″): 1″ NPT stainless steel union for easy service access
  • Grooved / Victaulic (1″): 1″ grooved × NPT adapter coupling
  • Garden hose: 1″ NPT male × GHT female brass adapter

Always apply PTFE (Teflon) tape to male NPT threads. The included mounting bracket must be secured before connecting piping to prevent the 33.94 lb unit from stressing pipe joints.

The Super Imploder is ideal for 3/4″ lines and applications where lighter weight and repositioning flexibility are priorities.


Boost with a ReCharger

The Ultra Imploder treats your main 1″ water line. For 3/4″ branch lines running to distant fixtures, appliances, or irrigation zones, add a ReCharger downstream to reinforce the magnetic treatment at the point of use. The Ultra Imploder provides vortex structuring + primary magnetic conditioning on the main line, and the ReCharger extends the magnetic effect through branch runs — ensuring full-strength treatment arrives at every endpoint.

  • Residential: Ultra Imploder on the 1″ main + ReCharger on 3/4″ branch to water heater, ice machine, or garden spigot
  • Commercial: Ultra Imploder on the building main + ReChargers on individual equipment feeds (dishwashers, ice machines, cooling tower makeup)
  • Agriculture: Ultra Imploder at the pump + ReChargers on distant 3/4″ irrigation zones or greenhouse branches

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Ultra Imploder last?
Built from 316 stainless steel with an expected lifespan of 30+ years. No moving parts, no filters, nothing to replace.

Can I install it myself?
Yes. Locate your incoming 1″ water main, shut off water, remove a section of pipe, and install the Ultra Imploder inline. The included pivoting bracket secures the unit. Most homeowners complete installation in under an hour using SharkBite push-to-connect fittings.

Does it require electricity?
No. Completely passive — water pressure alone drives the vortex and magnetic treatment.

Which direction does water flow?
Water enters the vortex nozzle end (large diameter) and exits the magnetic array end. The vortex structuring happens first, then the magnetic treatment.

What about water hammer?
The all-steel construction handles water hammer transients that would concern polymer-based systems. No special precautions needed beyond standard plumbing practice.

10. Conclusion
It can be concluded that magnetic water treatment improved blood picture, biochemical parameters, semen quality, and antioxidant status in human and animals. Magnetic water very effective in breaking up kidney and gall bladder stones, and prevent further formation of stones in the kidneys and gallbladder. It alleviates arthritis pain and reducing blood pressure, prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, help unclog the arteries and veins of deposits of cholesterol and salts and normalize the circulatory system, helpful in weight control. Also, it mitigate environmental impact in livestock, increase in milk yields and its component in dairy cows and ewes, mutton, and wool in sheep and improves blood picture and antioxidant status, more weight gain in geese and egg production and hatchability in turkey. So, magnetic water must be used to mitigate the harmful effects of drugs, toxins, and environmental pollutant on human and animals.
