This device has not made a significant impact on what we feel in the water. Maybe a small improvement in how much the soap makes suds, but that has been the only thing we noticed. Hopefully in the long term it will clean out the scale as advertised. We have only had it 3 weeks.

    Great Product
    I have so glad I finally decided to try this conditioner. The water in Oklahoma is so hard that our faucets and shower heads clog up every week. Not an issue anymore. Best money that I have spent in a while Highly recommend this product

        Good Product, immediately noticed a difference
        I was not sure when I purchased this product but I am now. Our well has extremely high calcium levels and it was always an issue until I installed the Max i . Very satisfied customer

          Installed in 4 weeks ago, works great
          My wife had me install the Max i a little over a month ago and it has done wonders for us so far. Big difference when we are cleaning, no more scale build up to remove. Definitely a good choice.

            Great for water quality
            I just purchased my second unit for the house. I have noticed the scale on my shower glass is much less and easier to remove. I don't have any scale in my hot water kettle anymore. I have always used a Brita filter but scale would still build up. Noticed a difference in 4-6 weeks after installation.

                Melted
                I bought one of these from a plumber in Indiana for a family member, and it melted! It got so hot the cheap plastic melted. It’s a NO from me!

                  Bought this and installed. Ran it for a couple months and it did nothing, hard water within a week of bypassing my water softener. Read others on other sites, they were asking how long it takes for this to start working? I only had 90-days to return so I hurried and returned it before I was stuck with it.

                    I dont think its working. I installed it exactly like it said on the manual but i dont see any difference in water softness, soap dont lather up enough, clothes still require lot of soap for washing, i am still seeing calcium buildup in the toilets.

                    No regrets
                    I live in rural western Colorado and I bought this last year and noticed a nice difference after a month or so...no water marks on the shower door and my dishes come out shiny without using lemmi shine. I installed it myself under the house and it took less than an hour. I was also skeptical but I couldn’t be more happy.

                      Waste of time and money. Made sure everything was installed to spec (some reviewers claiming negative reviews are because product not being installed properly). Week after installation I replaced my plastic shower curtain; previous one had hard water stains. It has been a month and hard water stains are appearing on new shower curtain. No increase in water pressure either. If you want to really try it and think the 5* reviews are legit, just make sure to buy it when it is on 'Special Buy of the Day'. Drops from $400 to $150 (very interesting how the price drops 62%). Feel bad for people who bought at full price. Florida using city water and have a tankless water heater.

                        It works! But it makes noise and the current price is too much!
                        I bought this unit from Home Depot for $one thirty nine which is a LOT less than the current retail. I have no idea why there is such a massive price discrepancy. Honestly I might have returned it and shopped around a bit as it doesnt really feel like it is worth $400. Also it makes a little noise (constant buzzing and a click about 1/second) when I expected it to be silent. Install was easy. If they want $400 for it they should send the wire wrapped around a little ring which would make installation even easier. It does work. I have a dishwasher with stainless steel interior that was just white with hard water stains before and after a couple weeks all that was gone with no effort on my part. I also felt my soap lather better. Be sure to follow the directions on the number of wraps around your type of pipe as this is very important. Also the effect is not permanent so if you have a cistern or other LARGE water storage device this would go AFTER that. I have a 50 gallon and a 40 gallon water heater and this is before them.

                          I already own a water softener, and was concerned about using salt (environment), and this unit caught my attention, and for the money, thought i would try it. Wired it according to instructions, and after two months of use, the calcium build up is very minimal if none (shows up on my bronze faucet). Before i purchased, the i did the usual investigating, and there was one youtube which convinced me to give this a go, and i am happy to say, it works.

                          I have relatively strong water pressure already and wanted to reduce mineral buildup so I installed this device immediately after my house shutoff valve. About 3 weeks later, I had to call a plumber to install a Pressure Reducing Valve (sometimes called a Pressure Relief Valve or PRV) and a hot water ballast tank because my hot water heater pressure relief valve blasted water out as the tank had too much pressure. Whereas the issues were there before, I suspect buildup in the pipes must have kept things under control. It is possible that our neighborhood mains could have suddenly had pressure increased, of course, but if it is just a coincidence that my pressure increased a few weeks after installing the H2oEliteLabs unit or not - you decide. Either way, be careful when looking for solutions as the solution may do exactly what you expect and you must be ready for it!

                          Can't really tell the difference in my hot water pipe buildup yet, however I realize it takes time based upon our usage. I'm confident it will condition our water as intended.

                          Set-up was relatively easy but the instruction manual could be clearer. Make sure you have an area of waterline that can handle the wire wrap that is not directly next to joints or valves. You will also need a 120 V power source within a few feet of the installation point.
