Bob and listees, It's called the Coriolis Effect and yes it causes water swirling down a drain to rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern. Has to do with the earth's rotation, gravity and all that. I doubt there is any reason to swirl the bottles one way or another because the water and gravity will take care of the rest. You don't have to swirl your toilet or bathtub to get the drain water vortexin' down the drain after all... As to the bar magnets, it seems that the polarity (which pole is "at the top") should have an effect on the final product since the "bottom" magnetic pole the water passes is the last to affect it. For that matter, why wouldn't the "bottom" magnetic pole simply cancel (or reverse) any effect from the "top" magnetic pole leaving a net change of zero? I would think that you would only apply the magnetic polarity that would give the desired properties to the water.
