Abstract
A container for magnetically activating water comprises a container having recesses as a part of the structure of the container, each of the recesses containing a magnet. The recesses and the magnets can be arranged in a set array in the structure of the container or can be in a random array. The recesses and the magnets preferably are in the sidewall of the container, but can additionally be in the bottom surface of the container. The magnets can be maintained within the recesses by a band that surrounds the recesses and the magnets, or by the magnets and the recesses having structures whereby the magnets are held within the recesses. A band also can be used to secure the magnets in the recesses. The recesses and magnets can be of essentially any compatible shape. Preferably the container is generally round and may have a gripping region.
