Default Eco Aqualizer

Anyone have any info or experience on this new Eco Aqualizer?
http://www.ecoaqualizer.com

Just wondering if any Canadians have tried this as it sounds good, but of course anything can sound good....

Looks interesting, doesn't hurt to try it. There is someone on Ebay selling it. I may get it and see.

The write-up remind me of an infomercial for those ionized bracelet, or an ionizing air purifier... how much is real science, and how much is marketing and self-fulfilling prophecies?

We all spend several hundred hours in grade school learning about basic science. I can remember mixing sugar, salt, and ice together for some experiment way back in grade 2, and writing what at that time was an exhaustive results write-up (two or three sentences I suppose). How many of us visited a sewage treatment plant, a plastics manufacturing plant or a lab of some sort at the end of our last year in high school? And yet there are those among us, judging by those RDO and RC threads, who still do not understand what is meant by "the scientific method". It just blows me away.

After reading it I am reminded of old time snake oil salesmen.
