Installation Location
1. Determine where the main cold water line enters the house or condominium.
2. Apply inducon coil to main cold water line. If the main cold water line is not assessable then apply induc-
on coil to the incoming cold water line to water heater or tankless water heater. Only hot water appliances
will have treatment if the inducon coil is applied to the hot water. In most cases the hot water system is the
main culprit for limescale build up so this line will provide protecon and treatment. (Inducon coil can be
installed on a horizontal or vercal pipe)
3. If there is a water soener loop present the inducon coil can be applied at this locaon also. Addional
plumbing may be required. (This line may or may not treat kitchen faucets or outside spigots)
4. Customers using well water must apply inducon coil aer the pump and pressure tank if present. The
Elite Max i is an indoor only model. Provisions for outdoor locaons must be considered.
5. The Elite Max i can be used in conjuncon with other water treatment systems, lters or water soeners.
The inducon coil must be installed aer this equipment. If using in conjuncon with a water soener you
may keep the water soener online or turn if o by engaging the bypass mode. Under sink ltraon systems
will not eect performance of Elite Max i.

Mounting the control module
The control module can be mounted on any type of wall or surface with supplied mounng hardware. Sup-
plied hole template can be used to mark screw spacing. There are two mounng holes located on the back of
the control module.

Installing the induction coil
1. Once the ideal locaon is determined for the inducon coil on the main
incoming cold-water line, then the coil must be wrapped around the out-
side of the pipe. You will need approximately 12” of straight pipe to apply
the inducon coil to.
2. There are two styles of coils applicable, a single layer coil wrapping and
a double layer coil wrapping.
3. When applying the single layer or double layer style coil determine how
long of coiling and layers needed for your size and material pipe (refer to
coil wrap chart on pages 6&7)
4. To begin the coil wrapping, mark the length of the coil needed for your
pipe size and type. Then measure out between 1’and 15’ of wire for the
rst lead to the control module (the lead wires from the coil to the control
module can be no longer than 15’ maximum but can be cut shorter to de-
sired length)
5. The rst lead must be secured to the pipe with the supplied cable es.
6. Once the rst lead wire has been secured with a cable e, begin wrap-
ping the wire around the pipe in any rotaon (clockwise or counter clock-
wise).
7. When nished wrapping the pipe secure the other lead wire with a cable
e as seen in diagram.

Installing the induction coil (continued)
9. Installing the inducon coil on copper pipe will need a double layer coil. Wrap the rst layer coil as men-
oned on the previous page.
10. When nished wrapping the rst layer and securing to the pipe with a cable e, then another layer of
wrapping must be applied on top of the rst layer of wrappings with the remaining wire.
11. The second layer of wrappings must be wrapped with the same rotaon as the rst layer of wrappings (if
the rst layer is clockwise then the second layer must be clockwise also or if the rst layer is counter clock-
wise then the second layer must be counter clockwise also).
12. When the second layer is complete secure the wire down to the pipe with a cable e (both wire leads will
exit on the same end of the inducon coil).
Note: Keep inducon coil far away as possible from elbows,
tees and couplings and never wrap coil on top of any ng.

Connecting the Power Adapter
The control module comes with a 115 VAC power adapter with a 5’ cord. Part number: CUI/SW125-5-N-P5.
Only use supplied power supply. This must be inserted into the power receptacle jack in the boom of the
control module. Once the power adapter is inserted into the control module, plug the power adapter into
the nearest wall outlet. If there is not a wall outlet near, an extension cord can be used.

Connecting Induction Coil
1. Upon compleon of installing the inducon coil, the two wires leading from the inducon coil must be
connected to the control module.
2. You will need to strip approximately .5” of the wire insulaon from each wire.
3. There are two illuminated holes in the boom of the control module to receive the stripped wire ends.
4. To insert the coil wires into the control module there are two illuminated push buons located on the
front of the control module. Press down on the buons one at a me to insert each of the wires into the
control module.
5. Once the buons are released with the wire inserted this will lock the wire into the receptacle. Give the
wire a gentle tug to make sure wires are connected properly.
6. When roung inducon coil leads back to the control module make sure they are not twisted together or
touching each other as much as possible.
7. Make sure the two wires coming from the inducon coil are no longer than 10’ in length. These lines can
be cut shorter to desired length needed.
Features and Notifications
Example of wire with
the insulaon removed
The Elite Max i comes equipped with four color illuminaon and sound nocaons.
1. The buons on the front and wire receptacle holes on the boom of the control module will illuminate
a white light to aid with the installaon of the coil wires.
2. The logo halo will stay solid red unl a coil is detected. Once the coil is detected the logo halo will go to
solid green.
3. The solid green logo halo illuminaon will turn blue to nofy that the Elite Max i is funconing properly.
At this point the buon and coil hole illuminaon will turn o.
4. If in the event the logo halo illuminaon goes to red there is an power issue to the control module.
5. The Elite Max i is equipped with an oponal water leak detecon module.
6. In the event the water leak detecon module detects a leak an audible buzzer will sound and the logo
halo will blink red unl the water leak is reced.

Optional Equipment
The Elite Max i is equipped with an oponal water leak detecon module. The water leak detecon module
will alert the user with an audible and visual nocaon in the event of a water leak. The leak detecon
module should be installed on the oor where there is a possibility for water leaks.
Technology and How it works
Our EWC products provide a specifically designed Magnetic and Electric Field with a high-speed
pulse wave on a variety of pipe sizes and materials in Residential, Commercial and Industrial appli-
cations.
This magnetic field creates Nano bubbles (surface diameter less than a micron) that coats the inside
of the pipe and doesn’t allow scale to form.
Hard Scale that forms and is very difficult to remove is Calcite (similar to cement or grout in Harness)
Our Unique approach converts Calcite to Aragonite. Aragonite is a powdery material that can be
easily wiped off surfaces.
Our Magnetic field changes the surface tension of the water and some of the water molecules break
into HO (-) and H (+) ions. This ionic change allows Calcium to bind with OH (-) ions creating Calci-
um Hydroxide Ca(OH)2 which is water soluble.
Calcium Hydroxide is then able to easily be broken done inside the pipe and passed through the
system.
The magnetic field also creates a mechanical component by pulsing the signal 25 times a second.
The signal breaks down existing scale over time and allows it to pass through the pipes
As hard water particles are removed from existing pipes the water pressure will increase and help to
remove existing scale and stop new scale build up on pipes, heating elements, and any other surfac-
es, coming into contact with this water.

Benefits of the H2oEliteLabs Max i
The most outstanding feature of the H2oEliteLabs Max i, is that it’s completely maintenance free. No, salt,
no chemicals, no baeries, totally solid state design and no expensive repairs. H2oEliteLabs is environmen-
tally friendly without the use of salt and leaving essenal minerals it is also beer for your health. To har-
ness the full eect of the H2oEliteLabs Max i it may take up to 90 days to completely remove scale buildup
from the enre plumbing system.
The removal of scale build up from pipes and equipment may worsen water quality inially, this is normal.
When the decaling eect removes scale build up from the system in severe cases this may clog up faucet aer-
ators and may have mineral fall out in dishwashers and hot water heaters. It is recommended that water
heaters be purged aer 90 days of using H2oEliteLabs Max i.
