1. A self-adjusting high voltage sensor circuit apparatus for a water treatment system, comprising:
a predetermined number of coils including alternating current (AC) coils and direct current (DC) coils;
one or more storage devices wherein software is stored;
a microprocessor, operably connected to the AC coils and the DC coils, configured to execute the software wherein execution of the software causes the microprocessor to:
issue commands to control frequency of pulses for the AC and the DC coils in order to create electromagnetic fields and to reach and maintain an approximate resonant frequency of the pulses for water treatment,
wherein a duration of a pulse of the AC coils is greater than a duration of a pulse of the DC coils, and
wherein, as water passes through the created electromagnetic fields, the created electromagnetic fields reduce surface charges from small particulates floating in the water and alter a state of dissolved mineral crystals in the water; and
one or more sensors, operably connected to the microprocessor, that measure quality of the water after treatment and provide feedback to the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor uses the feedback to continually adjust amplitude and the frequency of the pulses of the AC coils and DC coils to maintain electromagnetic fields and a resonant condition.
