Mrs Wobs has a friend on Facebook who was sent an advert regarding "straightening out water" or something along those lines. It basically claimed that modern pipework does not allow water to flow in the way that natural water courses allow them to, and their kit rejuvinates (sp?) it.
To the credit of her friend and Mrs Wobs, they both spotted it as woo, but upon further investigation, there is a whole world of water woo out there. Here is a list of examples:

And of course JREF has a blog entry here about some:

Also, last weekend I was discussing the fact that we were having a new boiler fitted to a friend. Said friend then launched into the fact that she knew someone who had had a magnet fitted to the central heating line feeding back to the boiler to catch any iron bits in the system. I note that magnets are mentioned in the link to be used in a whole range of water related woo. Do magnets actually serve a useful purpose in this application?
They are also used on gas lines for making the fuel burn better. I'd be open to comments on the woo status of that if anyone has evidence either way.
