An apparatus (10) for treating fluids by increasing the fluid's rate of diffusion, removing minerals in solution, releasing entrained gases, and destroying bacteria includes a pair of cascaded vortex nozzles (26-29) positioned in opposed relation. Each of the vortex nozzles (26-29) communicates with a fluid source (14) to receive a fluid stream which it rotates. The cascaded vortex nozzles (26, 29) feed their rotating fluid stream into the rear of the vortex nozzle (27-28) with which they are cascaded. The rotating fluid streams fed into the vortex nozzles (26-29) combine with the rotating fluid stream within each nozzle. The combined streams then circularly rotate and exit the opposed vortex nozzles (27, 28) to collide in a chamber (30). The collision between the combined rotating streams results in the breaking of the bonds holding the fluid, gases, and minerals in their molecular array.
