5. Where does water come from?
The fuel, when temperatures drop
The air, as condensation of water on cool tank walls
Heavy rainfall
Leakage in tanks or tank openings
In fuel delivery

6. Why Remove Water?
Water in fuel tanks causes growth of microorganisms, fungi, and bacteria that can damage the tanks, plug filters, and lead to costly downtime
Water slugs passed from the tank must be removed in filters or traps, that are sometimes not serviced in time to prevent problems with burners or engines

7. Why Remove Water?
Some byproducts of the organisms in the water/fuel interface produce corrosive byproducts that can attack the tank walls, causing pitting corrosion.
Removal from the tanks prevents or mitigates most of the problems with tanks, filtration, and burner or engine problems related to water.

8. Methods of Dealing with Water
Additives
Pump out tanks
Drain/Sump systems – gravity separation
Centrifugal separation
Absorbing Filters
In-tank absorbers (WaterMagnet®)

9. What is the WaterMagnet®?
A selective absorption device that absorbs free water in the presence of fuel, and chemically locks the water in a gel to prevent it from returning
An economical means of removing free water from fuel tanks
A safe method that does not involve additives or release chemicals into the fuel

10. How to use the WaterMagnet®
Insert through a correctly sized opening and place in contact with water in the bottom of the tank
Wait at least 1 hour before checking condition
Remove when absorber is full, indicated by firm swelling, no more than 60 days in tank.

11. Sizes of WaterMagnet® absorbers
WMA is latest Model,
1 indicates 1” dia. Max opening,
X6 indicates approx. length is 6”
Capacities are the amount of liquid water absorbed when full, oz.
All models swell up to be firm when squeezed
WMA1X6 3oz.
WMA2X oz.
WMA4X oz.
WMA4X oz.

12. Costs of Water Removal from Tanks
Additive costs not related to amount of water, only fuel volumes
Pump outs are very expensive, not complete removal
Drain/Sump systems require more attention, and do not keep all water out.
Centrifugal separation has continual pumping costs and maintenance
Absorbing filters are expensive by combining filtration and absorption
WaterMagnets are lowest real cost method

13. Why is WaterMagnet® the best?
Removes a lot of free water!
No packets to insert, no risk of fuel contamination.
No additives to the fuel.
Chemically locks water so it can never return to the fuel.
Patented process absorbs water in the presence of fuel.
Easier disposal than filter elements…no toxic chemicals.
So efficient that you can see it work (That’s why we named it the WaterMagnet®-draws water up…like a magnet!)

14. Why is WaterMagnet® the best? Design features and improvements.
Treatment of surfaces with biocide, to kill organisms when contacted
Weight placement to maximize contact with bottom of tank
More efficient absorbent
Tether integral with absorber, so no need for customer to provide
Sealed packaging that can be used for disposal
