Systems and methods that can be used to improve or treat a fluid (e.g., water) that can be subsequently fed to a living system (e.g., plant) to increase its vitality. Contemplated systems comprise a frame that holds crystals. The frame comprises outer arms and inner arms that hold crystals in a specific orientation. For example, the outer arms and the inner arms can form a tetrahelix that thereby hold the crystals in a tetrahelical orientation across the length of the frame. Contemplated systems can be installed in new or existing water systems to thereby improve or treat the water before it is subsequently fed to a living system (e.g., plant).
