"It is known that electrolytic processes - energetic processes - are instrumental in the formation of rust. These take place on the internal surface of pipe-walls through the action of carbon dioxide, which evolves as a result of changes in temperature and the presence of oxygen. The carbon dioxide released through the reciprocal effects of heat dissolves the iron in the pipes, in the process of forming ferric bicarbonates. If further quantities of oxygen are added as a result of excessive aeration of the water, then with the simultaneous onset of electrolytic processes the ferric bicarbonate will be converted into hydrated iron oxide (rust). This is precipitated from the water as iron ochre, causing a narrowing of the pipe diameter. In this regard it is to be remembered that the volume of wet iron rust is ten times greater than that of the parent material.
As a direct consequence of these processes a certain quantity of carbonic acid is removed. This was formerly contained in the water as an essential ingredient in the constitution of its psyche. Hence the psyche of the water deteriorates. The transformation processes that take place at certain temperatures and which lead to the formation of iron ochre as an end-product already have artificially- pretreated iron as a base material. Whatever natural character the ore lying deep inside the Earth may have possessed is removed as a result of smelting and the admixture of various ingredients. If in the process of forming hydrated iron oxide, solid components
accumulate on the inner wall surfaces, then transformation processes take place in conjunction with a negative temperature-gradient. These eventually result in retrogressive transformations and lead to the formation of a new inferior psyche which, in certain measure, appears to be associated with the iron ochre. The water, therefore, has not only lost its high-grade psyche by being conducted in iron pipes, but in addition has become endowed with a pernicious and second-rate psyche."
