Abstract: This study explored the impact of magnetic treatment on groundwater characteristics such as total hardness, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Calcium ions (Ca2+) and Ferrous ions (Fe2+). About 15 L of groundwater was introduced to a closed system through the 20 mT Direct Current (DC) magnetic fields and was pumped at a consistent rate of 10 m/sec and the circulation time of 5 h. The total hardness was determined by EDTA titration method while TDS was measured by TDS meter. The compositions of Ca2+ and Fe2+ in the water were investigated by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AA Spectrometer). The results showed a reduction in the chemical properties of the groundwater. The total hardness, TDS and Ca2+ and Fe2+ in the water decreased to 41, 60, 89 and 24%, respectively with an increase in the circulation time.
