ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention is drawn to a method and apparatus for treating electrically conductive fluid. Positive and negative electrodes of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced apart and electrically isolated from one another so that the only electroconductive connection that develops an electrochemical potential between the electrodes is established by fluid to be treated flowing between the electrodes. Such fluid is therefore ionized which will both prevent the precipitation of solids from the fluid which would tend to form a scale on the inner surface of piping through which the fluid flows, and aid in the removal of a previously formed scale. On the other hand, a third electrode is also provided so as to be electroconductivly connected with the positive electrode but electrically isolated from the negative electrode. Therefore, the third electrode will release metal ions into the fluid. These ions will inhibit the release of a compound into the fluid having a principal element that is the same as that of the metal ions released by the electrode. In such a way, the fluid can also be treated to inhibit a particular compound, to which the fluid might be exposed, from dissolving into the fluid.
