    Abstract: A magnetic device for treating fluid flowing through a conduit comprising a housing having an open upper end, a closed bottom end and defining an interior compartment. Positioned within the interior compartment upon a plurality of rod members disposed therein is a pair of permanent magnets. A mass of non-ferromagnetic filler material is also disposed within the interior compartment and substantially encapsulates the magnets and rod members. Attached to the housing is a cover member which encloses the interior compartment. The device further includes a clamp assembly which is used to releasably attach the housing to the conduit in a manner wherein the conduit extends along and is abutted against the cover member so that fluid passing through the conduit will be affected by the magnetic field emanating from the magnets disposed within the interior compartment of the housing.
