The Secret to “Delicious Water"
Tap water can dissolve and mix with a wide variety of substances due to its nature. We cannot overlook the possibility that substances in our daily water may influence the increasing number of allergies, such as atopic dermatitis. Therefore, we believe it is essential to ensure that clean water is abundantly available at all times.
Two Approaches: “Purification" and “Activation"
Protect by “Removing"
High-performance filters physically remove residual chlorine, red rust, and harmful substances. It creates “clean water" that is not only delicious for drinking but also gentle on the skin and safe for baby formula.
Protect by “Activating"
Improves the physical properties of the water itself using proprietary ceramic technology. Enhances cleaning and penetrating power, and suppresses rust, scale in pipes, and urine scale in toilets. Balances building health and ecology without using chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions about Soluve SOLUVE FAQ
It is a system installed at the “source" of the entire house or building, purifying water from all faucets. It transforms all water used in the building—not just drinking water, but for baths, sinks, and toilets—into clean water free of chlorine and red rust.
You can use purified water anywhere in the building.Kitchen purifiers are limited to “drinking water," but Soluve also removes chlorine irritation in the bath, making it safe for people with sensitive skin. Furthermore, because purified water flows through the pipes, it protects residential equipment like water heaters.
The standard is “once a year" under normal usage conditions. Due to its large-capacity design, frequent replacement is unnecessary. The replacement process is easy, allowing you to maintain high-quality water without hassle.
-
Designed to minimize pressure loss, there is almost no impact on shower force or water heater operation. You can use plenty of purified water anywhere in the building without stress.

Theory and Benefits of the Elce Water Activator
The Physical Power that Changes “Washing, Preventing, and Protecting"
The Elce Water Activator improves the “physical properties" of water using natural principles without using any chemicals or electricity. It is the cleanest and most economical solution that prevents pipe rust and dirt, keeping the entire building’s water environment healthy.
What is the Elce Water Activator? ABOUT
The Elce Water Activator is a water treatment device developed based on a new water treatment theory (electrokinetic phenomena using special ceramics). Unlike filters, it activates water by changing its physical properties without removing impurities or adding special ingredients.
“Functionalization of Water" through Physical Treatment
The “weak energy" generated as ceramics flow, collide, and rub against each other in the water current acts on the water’s molecular clusters. This improves the power to dissolve substances (solubility) and the power to remove dirt (cleaning power), enabling water treatment that does not rely on chemicals.
Benefits of Introduction MERIT
Water Systems Prone to Troubles
Many people struggle with water-related troubles in toilets and kitchens. Serious issues like scale (water stains) buildup and bad odors from drains are common. Frequent cleaning is the best prevention, but it’s difficult when busy. For stores and facilities, labor costs for cleaning are a bottleneck. Relying on professional cleaning regularly incurs significant costs. If you want to improve plumbing troubles while reducing costs, introducing the Elce Water Activator might be the ideal solution.
Benefits of the Elce Water Activator
A feature of Elce is that water flow causes collision and friction among ceramic particles. The weak energy obtained acts to create highly vitalized treated water. In restaurants, it is used for washing dishes and vegetables, and preventing slime in sinks and drain pipes. It is also ideal for preventing red water in buildings, apartments, and factories, which helps prevent pipe fouling and extends the lifespan of drain pipes. Furthermore, it can be used to prevent urine scale in toilet drain pipes. Since urine scale causes bad odors, treatment provides a deodorizing effect.
How the Elce Water Activator Works SYSTEM
Countermeasures against Scale Buildup
Bring an eco-friendly mindset to cooling tower management.
As cooling circulating water concentrates, scale adheres inside pipes and heat exchangers, lowering heat exchange efficiency and causing system troubles. Elce promotes scale formation, but because the generated scale is in fine particle form, it does not adhere to the system and accumulates in areas with slow flow velocity, allowing management simply by removing the accumulated scale. Regular costs related to tower cleaning, such as chemical cleaning and chemical injection, can be reduced, and the progression of corrosion caused by chemical use can be halted. Furthermore, wastewater treatment becomes unnecessary, enabling eco-friendly maintenance (*Currently patent pending).
Countermeasures against Red Water
Great news for building/apartment management companies, restaurants, and factories!
Red water is a phenomenon where iron oxidizes due to dissolved oxygen in the water, generating red rust that turns the water red. Installing Elce removes red rust in the pipes, suppresses rust accelerated by the accumulation of red rust, and resolves the red water problem. (Left photo: Before installation / Right photo: After installation)
Prevention of Bad Odors and Urine Scale in Toilets
Standard equipment on JR West Shinkansen trains. Introduced in public institution stations and highway service area public toilets.
Urine scale generated and attached to the drain pipes of toilets (especially men’s) easily breeds bacteria and is considered the root cause of bad odors. Because Elce dissolves and removes urine scale attached inside drain pipes, it can suppress bad odors at the source. Currently, it is standard equipment on JR West Shinkansen trains, and it has been reported that it reduced expenses by more than 18 million JPY annually. Moreover, since it uses no chemicals, it is a management method friendly to the global environment. (Top photo: Before installation / Bottom photo: 180 days after installation)
Maintenance and Life Extension of Artificial Dialysis Systems
Installed in many artificial dialysis hospitals. Highly evaluated.
By installing Elce, removing scale in the pipes and preventing its adhesion eliminates the habitat for bacteria, ultimately lowering the endotoxin concentration in the dialysate. Additionally, many economic benefits are obtained, such as improving the performance and extending the life of the RO membrane for the RO equipment used to treat the raw water for dialysate.
The “Preventive" Mechanism of the Elce Water Activator MECHANISM
| Red Rust Prevention | Physically transforms “red rust (ferric oxide)" into stable “black rust (magnetic iron oxide)", forming a strong coating inside the pipe. Extremely effective in extending the life of aging existing pipes. |
|---|---|
| Scale Adhesion Suppression | Physically stabilizes hardness components like calcium that easily crystallize, preventing them from adhering to pipe walls and heat exchangers. Prevents thermal efficiency degradation, minimizing energy loss and cleaning costs. |
| Urine Scale & Odor Prevention | Suppresses the action of the enzyme “urease", which breaks down urine and calcifies it. Cuts off the generation of urine scale, the cause of bad odors, contributing to a significant reduction in toilet maintenance costs. |
| Running Costs | No electricity, no chemicals, maintenance-free. Because it demonstrates its effects without using any external energy, monthly maintenance costs are 0 JPY. Water treatment for the SDGs era. |
[Regarding Durability] The special ceramics used in Elce utilize a physical contact reaction with water, and their components do not dissolve. Therefore, there is no need to replenish or replace the filter media, and a semi-permanent effect duration matching the lifespan of the main unit can be expected.
