Abstract: In an apparatus for stimulating the removal of electrolytic, or electrical, energy from a vessel of water or other charge conducting liquid, a conductive apparatus, preferably formed as a tube, is insulatively supported with respect to the vessel in which the water is being treated, with the apparatus either extending through a wall of the vessel, or being freely supported upon the heat exchanger or other components structurally arranged internally of the vessel. A nonconductive mounting member is secured to the conductive apparatus and provides for the insulation of the apparatus below the vessel's normal water line. The mounting member in addition to being nonconductive, is also nonabsorbent of any moisture even after prolonged submersion in water so as to insure that there is no breakdown in its providing the electrical insulation of the conductive apparatus with respect to the vessel in which it locates.
