I have no idea how this happen but my magnets to my powerheard has reversed polarity. Does anyone know how to make them right? You can't just trade them.

Re: Powerhead Magnet
Tried they repel. I know there is a way you can do it but I can't remember how. If Idon't figure it out 'll email the company. Maybe the can help. It's a new powerhead only a few months old.

Re: Powerhead Magnet
Geez, that's weird... I'm the scientist here... Am I supposed to whip out my old physics books? I'll see what I can dig up.

This is the best I could do right now... Apparently it involves a coil of wire and electricity. I wouldn't be up for it... I'd call the manufacturer instead if I were you!

Re: Powerhead Magnet
I've never heard of magnets reversing polarity on their own.

Re: Powerhead Magnet
Usually they have to be hit by a big blast of electricity to do that... That's why it's so weird.

Re: Powerhead Magnet
Are you implying that Piggy has been turned...electrical? And that if she touches a magnet it will reverse polarity? That would be such an awesome super power!

Re: Powerhead Magnet
No silly she is not Magneto,she mentioned getting zapped that her fingers were still numb the next day.Maybe the electrical charge reverse the polarity on the magnet.
