This review is aimed to present an in-depth review of several methodologies on magnetic water treatment (MWT) that are employed as scale treatment in water pipeline and to critically discuss each method in order to determine the best outcome of MWT. The magnetically assisted water in pipeline in various applications are presented, argued and best variables are listed according to the performance of each MWT. The advantages and limitations of MWT are discussed and the main outcome from the review summarize the best method in MWT, especially in effectiveness of treating scale in terms of sustained environment benefits. Magnetic field application in water treatment has the potential to improve the water pipeline performance and lifetime. The application is also significant in controlling the growth of scale in upcoming system. Both of these benefits lead to healthier water treatment, increasing and maintaining the lifetime and performance of water system.
