Radio Frequency Interference from Water

Devices called 'Wassermatrix', sold by a Swiss company by the same name have been identified as the source of interferences around 144.015 MHz across European countries.

The manufacturer claims it will “vitalize”, “structure” or “energize” water, thus making drinking water healthier and curing a wide span of diseases from oncologic and virologic to orthopaedic kinds.

Following complaints, those devices have now been banned from sale in Germany after an investigation by the local communications regulator. Reports include direct identification of devices near Frankfurt airport. The devices use an unstable power oscillator around 144.015Mhz with a wide noise skirt, and produce 20 Watts output over periods of five minutes. Strong overtones can be heard at 288 and 432 MHz. For the user of the 'purifier' this translates into a calculated EMF exposure of about 28Volt/meter, enough to possibly upset a heart pacemaker.
