The hard sell says it's Da Bomb, and to their credit, they offer a 6 month money back garranty if you aren't happy with the results.

What you guys think?

Based on what?

I'm not defending the product, nor admonishing it's use. I was just curious of the hub-bub.

Cheap PVC with some very small magnets taped to it..

Morgan Lindster did an exposé on this product some years ago. I think it was posted on Inland Aquatics' website but alas they are not around anymore.

Basically it's PVC with what looks like shower curtain magnets (but they are supposed to be rare earth magnets), fastened to the inner PVC tube with electrical tape. Then another PVC sleeve over top of that, and a label and clear plastic tube over that. Throw in a couple of Jaco fittings so it can be plumbed up and, voilà! No more water changes.

Now - if you believe that, maybe we can talk about a bit of real estate I'm trying to sell...

Bottom line, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Bob Fenner posts about it too, here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/algcontf15.htm">http://www.wetwebmedia.com/algcontf15.htm</a>

His words, "Snake oil". I've seen/heard many others call it just that too, and I concur.

I wish the page with the actual photos/description were still around...

Thanks for posting that, Danny - that's the very exposé I was referring to. Nice to see that it's still "alive and well" even though Inland isn't

All over again

Ouch on the finger magnet wiping out all that work...

I'm surprised Billy Mays doesn't do an infomercial on those Eco Aqualizers - "BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!"

What's really amazing is that after so many years, and so many folks researching and exposing this product for what it really is, they are still being made - and apparently people are buying them.

Things that make you go, "Hmmmm...."
