A magnetic water conditioning shower arm disposed in a water circuit supplying a shower head terminating the water circuit, the device comprises magnetic elements disposed within a tubular pipe-like element for treatment of water flowing therethrough by magnetic lines of force. The shower arm is preferably disposed immediately before the shower head in the water circuit and can thus be easily retrofitted into existing shower apparatus as well as installed as part of an original shower apparatus. The shower arm is particularly useful for the treatment of water containing scale minerals which deposit on surfaces of a shower head and which often render such heads prematurely useless. Magnetic treatment of water containing scale minerals according to the invention and prior to contact of untreated water with a shower head inhibits scale formation caused by precipitation of calcium salts, magnesium salts and other mineral compounds, thereby extending the useful life of a shower head to that life normally expected.
