As far as I know, only iron and I think cobalt are magnetic. Calcium is not
affected by magnetism. I'd not waste my time or money.

I've heard and read about flowing water past a magnet to keep calcium in
suspension and from coating stuff. I wnnt to try this with my evaporative
cooler for starters. I haven't found a magnetic adapter to put in the water
line locally. I have a small powerful surplus magnet. What if I put it
under the float valve that controls incoming water so the water flows over
it? Anyone try anything like this?

TIA
