It works alright in preventing the formation of lime in the water
pipes and nozzles. Very strong and large permanent magnets align the
dissolved mineral crystals to retard mineral deposition. The magnets
cannot be sized down economically for a household system. It does not
soften water as the minerals are still there. The London Imperial
College lab tests were published in a New Scientist article more than
20 years ago. The tests were commissioned by the Swiss manufacturer
of the magnetic system who couldn't give a scientifically acceptable
explanation for their product.

Now there's a shock -- the only "evidence" supporting the supposed
effectiveness of this system came from a study commissioned by its
manufacturer. Imagine my surprise.
